As I said, all could be wrong. Your beliefs cannot be more than faith, as nothing about God or our beliefs, can be proven. It's still faith.

YOu are right, they cannot be "proven" to be certain. In that sense, I do have faith they are true. By the same token, however, nothing in history can be proven to be absolutely certain, can it? Did George Washington really exist? Prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Do you know that there is actually a trend in our universities that says that no true history can be known about anything (historical relativism)and that it depends on a person's perspective? Indeed, universities teach that there is no truth at all that can be known. This philosophy is self-refuting and cannot stand up to logic. However, they dispense with this by saying that logic is also relative. The only problem with that is, they must use logic to make the statement! See what happens when mankind thumbs his nose at God and goes his own way? In any case, I wish you well. I feel we had a good discussion and I thank you for your kind answers to my questions.

Well, I guess it's pretty clear you do not have any kind of personal relationship with God. After all, you can't have a relationship someone and then logically say that you can't know they exist, only believe.
