Re: Audacity?
some people would say that the elect is solely God's doing who leads, draws and reveals. seeing that our knowledge is socially constructed, from schools, churches and tv; I think that reason can play a role in how we determine our faith, by seeking and comparing the sources and teachings. In my own experience it has been a combination of upbringing, reason and experiencing the presence of God. All three factors contribute to the belief in the rightness of my faith. I often wonder if things would be different if I was born and raised in an islamic society. then, reason and the spirit of God would have to do the work. reason should lead to openess and skepticism of all beliefs until faith and experience cross the threshold into rightness.
