Faith is a measure of irrationality

[ronedee]

Has anyone considered that "faith" works.... for those who have it?

Can daily coincidence be normal? Or is it something else?

I have a very dear friend that "was" a powerful believer in Christ, leave the faith.

We went back and forth, over the net (he is in the Philipines) arguing about why he left.

He gave me all the reasons, as you here do, that the bible was made up, and changed over time. And the persona of Jesus was a "world narrative" that people would accept.

But over the course of our correspondence, it came down to his loss of faith. Not his new found information. We both agreed that "men lie", and no real truth can be found except that is found by us personally.

So, its whether our faith is in man, or God that is the real issue at hand.

I personally have had better luck with God.

We ended our argument parting as "spiritual" friends which sadden me very much. But again, we did agree in the end that "any" information provided by men is suspect... his or mine.

But, if Jesus' words are correct, "the Kingdom is found within"..... what is needed to find it? FAITH. And "IF" indeed it does work for those who have it....

.....who are you to say it doesn't? YMMV
