“I have faith—I believe..”

But what is that faith and belief based on? Is it based on what one’s parents or family or friends or culture or community, job, education or even what one’s church believes? What convinced you that your faith/belief in the sources are well founded so that you risk your eternal wellbeing (I am assuming from what I have seen that you believe in the after life) on its truth?

I don’t mean to make this personal; the “you/your” should be read as the impersonal “one”, but you have been gracious enough to respond to the questions.

Right up until I read #3660.
