Faith is a belief in something without knowledge. I endeavored to gain knowledge about the scriptures, and as it grew, my faith shrank. There was certainly bliss in ignorance, but looking back, I cannot undo what I have learned. I understand and accept that you and others want to retroactively denigrate my original faith, but I know what I had and what I lost.
Merry Christmas.
Well apparently you didn't believe in Him too much, if you don't now. A REAL Christian believes in his or her faith FOREVER, not just a little while. That isn't a true belief.

You are right. A real Christian KNOWS what is right.
And a Merry Christmas to you.
This is not faith. This is accepting a false premise as true. You made a mistake when you misdefined faith and you also make a mistake in defining Christian.
Faith is using all of your heart, mind and soul in finding Christ. Christian belief is based on facts and proof, not its absence. You mistook ignorance for faith.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
That was Hebrews 11:1. I don't see much about knowledge in faith's description. Knowledge isn't necessarily a bad thing, but knowledge led to a lot of trouble in the Garden of Eden.
I don't understand how in the world your faith can decrease because of learning the scriptures.
