1) Would a good God punish me for asking the hard questions?...........[Luke 18:26 KJV] "And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?"........The apostles asked questions
2) Why do I believe what I believe?.........By two or three witnesses a matter is established..........[2 Timothy 2:2 KJV] "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."......we too should believe Paul..........[Acts 1:22 KJV] "Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.".........there were twelve witnesses
3) Is this a good reason to believe in this?.......There is plenty of evidence to believe........[1 Corinthians 15:6 KJV] "After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep."
4) Is belief, or faith, a good measure for morality?.........Moral behavior for us in this disprnsation is found in Paul's epistles
5) Have I explored other religions to the extent that I explored Christianity?.........I don't find it necessary to examine religions in depth; I have only familiarized myself with basic tenets
6) What if you are the one in the wrong religion?........I am not. If someone was I would try to get them to see the error of their religion and counter their beliefs with scripture
7) How would my faith community react to my exploring these questions?.........I don't see anything wrong with them or I wouldn't have responded. I can't answer for others.
