Why are people, if they're convinced of truth, so afraid to hold views, opinions and mindsets about that up to the "light", scrutinize and examine them and see if there's a possibility of error?
Having said that, I do believe that this kind of forum is probably NOT the place for new believers or for those who are immature in their faith and walk with God.
Some of the craziest things are put forward here as truth.  |
YES YES YES! To every point. lol
I am not so attached to my beliefs that I won't examine them and critically look at them, and compare them to Scripture and ask questions and stomp all over them to see if they hold up. I want to follow the Truth, and nothing less. If something I've believed has to change in order to be closer to that, then I want to change it.
