wanna bet? actually although some of us may have initially become christians by faith, the more we study the more reason why find to believe.

the bible and its amazing characteristics in so many areas including history, archaeology, science, prophecy, and as an ancient text itself are truly a reason to believe.

creation and related scientific finds is another.

i believe NOW because i know. if i only had my faith without my head knowledge, i would stumble alot more when times get tough. that is why it is a shame for people to take on the faith and then go no further. because they will never know why they believe and I believe they will be weaker disciples.

Sadly, there are legions of them. My own mother, a Baptist of livelong standing who took us to church twice a week, told me a few years ago that she thought the Trinity was Jesus, God, and Mary. She got very upset when I pointed out the error. The unexamined religion can get hairy.
