Back on December 7, I said I would soon be posting more on my personal beliefs and faith. I haven't forgotten...just have not had the time to devote to study before making any statements I might regret. I am working on it.
I am no intellectual nor theologian...these will be ordinary everyday thoughts on ordinary everyday belief; heaven, hell and the supernatural; creation vs. evolution; tithing; prayer; the authority and infallibility of the Bible; and whatever else comes to mind.
I'm sure some people will have great Biblical and theological arguments against what I have to say, although if it works well in argument and looks good on paper, but doesn't work in practice, or is too difficult to understand, then it doesn't do me much good.
I believe my faith should consist of real everyday practical beliefs...the things I can make a part of my day-to-day-life. I can't grasp lofty and complicated theologies, I can only actually know what I actually live...
And this is certainly not to say that I'm right on these issues or that I believe I have all the answers. These are just going to be my thoughts and my reality based on personal experience and application of my faith in the real world.
But my experiences are subjective and limited. So on anything I might say on these issues...
I could be wrong.
