I feel like if you are ever going to grow in faith you have to ask questions. Otherwise, what is the point?<br /><br />Its really nice to know that there are other people out there asking.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610117543051640146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285340800034224141.post-52823064329133464602010-04-12T22:31:16.628-05:002010-04-12T22:31:16.628-05:00I love this post, especially the second paragraph....I love this post, especially the second paragraph.<br /><br />Our minister preached on 'Doubts' on Easter Sunday morning. One thing he said that really struck me was that the opposite of faith isn't doubt. The opposite of faith is pride. So I think you will do ok in the doubter's chair.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285340800034224141.post-27976305104092169032010-04-12T21:30:20.218-05:002010-04-12T21:30:20.218-05:00You are a very good writer.

Sometimes not knowing is the most provocative reason for believing. That being said, I think it's very healthy to get together with others and discuss these issues - there is a very large gray area and a not very large black and white area. <br /><br />Thanks for the thought provoking post!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080418514689447091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285340800034224141.post-31499443520046416082010-04-12T19:09:10.664-05:002010-04-12T19:09:10.664-05:00I missed a good circle, didn't I? What a powe...I missed a good circle, didn't I? What a powerful time. Thank you for your expressions here, which I think are very powerful. I personally don't have a need to believe the story literally. There are times I take it to heart and there are times I take it as a story written by people, with their spin and time. It all depends where I am on the mountain or in the valley. I do think anything is possible.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285340800034224141.post-71268600516123349832010-04-12T15:58:37.252-05:002010-04-12T15:58:37.252-05:00You're a very good writer...!
Our family had ...You're a very good writer...!<br /><br />Our family had this same conversation during Easter dinner. Phinnaeus (14) is a skeptic. But it's only through questioning that we find the truth.<br /><br />I was raised in the Anglican church, and I doubted many of the stories I was taught. When I got married, I had to convert to Catholicism. The Catholic priest who was giving me instructions said, <em>"You'll never make a good Catholic; you ask too many questions."</em> But I really believe the questions are important.<br /><br />Great post!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285340800034224141.post-78965544794876588792010-04-12T14:38:28.778-05:002010-04-12T14:38:28.778-05:00Well said!
