"..faith..not logic."

Christianity is a rational faith.

Philosophical thinking is what every mature, rational person does.

If you claim to embrace "the Christian faith", you surely realize that by merely making that claim, you are saying that you *know* what it is.

For instance ... I'm sure you know that certain essential (cardinal/core) doctrines are what make up the "Christian religion". What are they? And I'm also sure you know that if one steps outside those essentials of the faith and teaches or believes a different God and a different gospel, then that one is stepping outside the Christian faith.

That's fine. People do it all the time. The only time there is a problem with that is when they still think they can legitimately call what they believe "the Christian faith".

Christianity is a rational faith.

God created a man and lady and put them in a garden with a teaching tree. Except they couldn't eat the fruit.

God knew they would, since he knows everything. But he still had to act pissy when they did, and throw them out of the garden into perpetual toil and strife.

Now mankind was marked for disaster, no hope. So God sent another God, who was also him, but not, and also his son, down to Earth so that Man could kill the Son God. At this point the sacrifice would redeem Man to the Father God, although Man was kinda setup, at least the Father sacrificed part of his Trinity to reopen heaven.

Eventually the Son God will come back and Beasts with many heads will hang in the sky while trumpets screech, then most souls will burn forever at the beachfront property while the Son God's followers sing his praises into eternity.

I'd call that tale many things, and rational isn't one of them.
