Was reading yesterday in the epistles that not many intelligent people will come to the faith.

1 Cor 1
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Well, since you asked... :D

First, I'll mention some of the things I do believe and agree with, in the Bible! ;)
God is not the author of confusion.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. (Not sure what kind of woe they deserve, but some kind! :lol)

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them...
To name a few. Now, what I don't believe, in a nutshell:
I don't believe that the Bible is 100% true (nor 100% false), or that it is infallible, or inspired by God.
Your next question will almost certainly be "What are you doing here?" ;) Answer: I like it here! And I like to prod and challenge folks! And I have a burden for the lost! :D

Thanks for answering.

I agree with pretty much what you say. We, as the body of Christ, forget that he commanded us to love"
1. God with all our heart, mind and soul and
2. to love one another as ourselves

Itching ears..whew ... I see so much of that.

As for the Bible not being 100% correct...through the years my husband and I have studied from very old bibles where there are footnotes of what the reformists voiced their opinion. My husband has extensively studied the Strong's Concordance to look up the greek and hebrew. I would like to try to get an Aramaic concordance.

Some of the things I have concern about is that while the Catholic Church brought us the Bible, they could have left certain things out.

Take for instance, every pastor we asked this question to:
"What is the Nicholaitian doctrine"?
Each one told us that it was a "certain sect" of Christians.

That did not seem right to my husband so he prayed about it for a long time. We went to the Public Library to read all the different commentaries there.
One day, my husband felt impressed to divide the world and look it up in the Strong's.

Nikko=conquer
laitian=laity

In this context, I can see why Jesus would be upset at this doctrine.

Actually your question never entered my mind.

This is the place to be to get differing opinions.

Who knows? You might come across a statement somebody posts that will get you to thinking.

God is long-suffering towards us. :)

Most people have "great faith" except they don't realize it. Let me show you what I mean.

1. You become sick with a regular sickness (cold, flu, headache, chest congestion, muscle ache, etc)
2. You determine which medication applies to what you've got
3. You know the dosage and the time it takes for the medication to begin working
4. You take the medication
5. In the expected amount of time, the expected effects begin to happen

Great Faith. It really is that simple.

With this same type of understanding and expectation that we use day to day, the next time you take medication, simply say "Apply this to prayer", and do it.

Not sure what you mean in that last paragraph, but yes, I have faith in a lot of things and in a lot of people. ;)

Based on your post that started this discussion thread, I wanted to encourage you, that, not only can you believe, but you already believe. The illustration with the medication was to demonstrate that we have great faith. Recognizing it in a different part of our lives (i.e. non-religious) might help us conquer any doubts we have in the spiritual part of our lives.

Or maybe I misunderstood the crux of the discussion. :dunno
