I guess for me, when comparing the wise words of everyone (be it the Force, Covey, Jesus, the Koran, new age gurus, etc.), only one in ALL of history claimed to be the Son of God and hence, the human form of the ultimate creator of the Universe. Only one religion was spawned by this claim and the next claim of rising from the dead to forgive sins and offer eternal life. So, if I choose to believe the Bible for what it says, then I must believe 100% or I am as crazy as the one who made these claims. He and all of the followers since then HAVE to be either 100% CORRECT or 100% CRAZY -- there is really no middle ground here. In studying Biblical prophecy, if you dig deep enough, you will see an uncanny ability to show things happening today which could never have been known when the Bible was written and passed down. I fail to see how so many can miss this. For me, since so many prophecies have come true, I must believe that everything in the Bible is also true. Why would you simply choose to say "Que, sera, sera" and hope for the best? What would you have to lose by taking the Bible at face value? Does any other religion or guru promise eternal life? Has any other religion or leader changed the world and convinced millions of people through the ages to believe something? If it was a fairy tale, it would not have persisted this long. Keep thinking. God can show you truth if you are at least open and you don't close your mind completely to anything. Follow your heart and not your head. Your head will always get pride in the way. Best to you.
