This might get long.
I am a Christian. I believe in a God. I believe that that God created everything in 6 days, and I believe that he created man in His image. I believe that that God loves us. I believe that man was created to live with God forever in a perfect world. I believe that mankind turned away from that God, and that, as a just God, he requires remission of that rebellion. I believe he came to earth in the form of a man to die on a cross as a sacrifice to forgive that rebellion. I believe that He died so that we might be forgiven and once again live with Him eternally in a perfect world. I believe that the one and only way to live with God is to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, to call on Him to save us, to submit to His will for our lives, and to live each day as he commands us to.
I believe that the Bible is the spoken word of that God. I believe that it is completely, literally, and consistently true, and I believe that it is the best model to which I can lead my life. I believe that it has the power to rebuke, to teach, to counsel, and to inspire.
That is what I believe.
------------------------------------------
Ok, I know that most of you people think I am crazy or foolish or weak-minded. That is alright with me, you can think what you want. I believe these things and I believe in this God because of many spiritual experiences with Him and because of several years of study.
On the other hand, I can understand why some people chose atheism or agnosticism. Believing that there is a God who controls the universe and to whom every person is accountable requires a large step of faith. If you disagree with me, I cannot change your mind. However, you cannot change mine either. I do not and will not compromise my faith.
If you have read this far, thanks. I appreciate your ear.
