Sam,
This is from Nancy. I have studied to some extent other religions before I became a follower of Yeshua. My decision was based on the teachings and reality of Yeshua and that came from His word. Without the word of God that so many try to discount and say is not the truth people would not have a clear understanding of right and wrong and of goodness. The laws in our country are based on the 613 laws of the Biblical Law of Moses. Other religions are for the most part copies of Judaism in their laws and concepts. Judaism was the first monotheistic religion that believed in One God over all creation. See if we just follow with our heart and not check it with the Word of God we are vulnerable to deception. Study is not a 100% gaurantee of not being deceived but with prayer and study we can have confidence that He will guide our paths to truth.
The kind of faith that would lead a person to invest in the lottery is not faith but a spirit of testing God. The faith of God is in the wilderness when they went hungry to learn to trust Him. What a gift, to totally trust God and not have to buy that ticket but work hard and watch God.
The Bible says the FEAR of God is the beginning of wisdom. That is a teachable spirit that is humble before God.
We have faith Sam but also knowledge from the Word of God the Creator of the Universe and that is the only knowledge needed to obtain true wisdom. Read the book of Job and see if you can answer Gods questions to Job. Can you tell Him how the Ocean knows where to stop or when a goat is ready to give birth etc.. When you can answer these questions you will be able to question God.
Nancy
