Leaving Room for Faith - why we don't know EVERYTHING

Hot glue is the easiest way to put styrofoam together.

If you can't get your ice cream out of the container, microwave your spoon. The warm spoon makes it so much easier to get the ice cream out!

Bleach only kills 99.9% of germs. If you want to be absolutely sure of killing all of them, you need to mix it with ammonia. Note: google cramine gas

 

[St. SteVen]

At one time I was bothered by the fact that we don't really have ALL the answers.
There was always a loose end somewhere.

I chased the apologetics in every direction, but always came up short somewhere.
And frankly, I don't remember the specifics, only the moment of my release from the tyranny I had inflicted myself with.

I finally realized that I needed to leave some room for faith.
To live with some mystery. To admit that I didn't have ALL the answers.

No one knows ALL .
but ALL sin and error of false doctrines MUST be corrected . That is how the leaven took over so many places
is due to the fact everyone began to overlook sin and error within them churches .
Now a false love saves none and only allows leaven to take over .
Correction is A DIRE MUST . and any hope that negates the FACT one must repent to BELEIVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST
is a hope TWICE DEAD as we see in the interfaith interiligious LIE
that implies all religoins be serving the same GOD in different ways . What a blasphemous lie that is .
As well as the lie that implies that CHRIST is a minstir of certain sins .

Your False Gospel of Universalism does not require anyone to have Faith in Christ while they are alive, so, its dishonest of you to pretend you are concerned with "Faith" in Christ.

Trumpeting your ignorance again?

You teach a false Gospel that does not require anyone to Trust in Christ by Faith or be born again, while they are alive.

You can deny it and you're not being honest again....., or you can avoid or deflect the question as you did 7 times, and prove me right again. #8

So, your "ignorance" regarding Salvation, is based on a "doctrine of devils".
What does that make you?

What caught my eye in the Op was where you said, "I needed to leave some room for Faith."

Could you give me your understanding on what the application of Faithing into Christ is?

Thanks jay

Thanks for your reply.
I'm not familiar with the term "Faithing into Christ".
But I can explain what I meant by "I needed to leave some room for Faith."

At the point when I realized that not every question or mystery about Christianity would be explained,
it dawned on me that faith didn't mean having all the answers, it meant believing WITHOUT all the answers.
And some had taken up this faith with much fewer answer than I had uncovered.

John 20:29 NIV
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;
blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

The word "believe" is a mistranslation.

If you're interested in what true saving Faith is, see the rediscovering pisteuo thread on the general discussions page.

God address the facts of the matter and everything is important. Its not important to know everything in life. But God extensively teaches us about life and God and evil and Good and Nature. These things are important, knowing about anything outside this world is not entirely important.
