Bible Note: Free Thinker: You say that you don't accept the Bible as an accurate reference, and conclude that that is one problem. ..... Indeed it is "one problem" of great magnitude. It may, in fact, be your core problem around which all your other spiritual problems revolve. Do you know what or who influenced you to doubt the truth of Scripture? Have you actually ever sat down and read the Bible from cover to cover and formed your own conclusions about Scripture, or are you following the erroneous opinions of others who claim to know it all? Try "The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell and the writings of C. S. Lewis, especially "Mere Christianity", "Surprised by Joy" and "The Screwtape Letters." Both of these men, both McDowell and Lewis, once were skeptics of the first water. They reveal in their books how they came to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I hope that you will follow in their footsteps, my friend. Eternity is a mighty long time to regret that one made a terribly wrong choice. --Hank |
