That has happened to me many times. For example, I no longer believe that the earth is only 6-7000 years old. LOL and don’t ask, it’s too complicated to address in this forum but it is totally in agreement with scripture.
The simple answer is that there were many peripheral beliefs I was taught growing up that I have since changed because of the study of scripture I have done. I will say that most concerned the role of the Holy Spirit and our own efforts as far as salvation is concerned.
If it is all your own responsibility, to study, determine, decide your religious beliefs, and this is taken with utmost seriousness and openness, why did you start with the given of Christianity; why not start from scratch? E.g. study and examine Taoism, Buddism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Judaism, Jainism, etc. Or did you do so?
I will say that most concerned the role of the Holy Spirit and our own efforts as far as salvation is concerned.
What would you say is the underlying purpose of this study and effort? Would it be true to say that, for you, it is your own salvation, immortality?
