Yes, I do believe it at "The Truth," because to me, it's the only truth.
I'm curious: why do you believe it? What convinced you?
At least you seem to acknowledge that while to you the bible may be the only truth, others may find no truth in it at all.
If one refuses to believe in what the Bible says, or even accept the Bible as some sort of Inspirational writing from "A" God, any God, then trying to explain ones faith becomes a challenge.
I'm sure those who base their faith on the Torah, the Koran, or some other scripture, or on no scripture at all, would disagree.
What is important is that all members of all faiths must acknowledge that all faiths are purely a matter of faith, and that we have no way of knowing which faith and which scripture, if any, actually does represent the word of God, assuming that there is a God. This the root of tolerance, and this is why Church and State must be separated: there are many churches, and none has an inherent claim to validity that is any stronger than any other religion. |
