Bible Note: Hello MasterWalk, For me, it's not so much an issue of childishness. A lot of us have various beliefs that are ultimately false. This is due to various things including the way we were raised, religious background, acedemic accomplishments, etc. An example would be The Tooth Fairy. You see, some things we learn to belief are born out of convenience, perceived necessity, emotions, or just plain being warm and fuzzy to believe in. I don't consider you childish for believing what you do about animals. I do ask what you base your belief on. I mentioned a list of reasons why we all have, or have had false beliefs. The most important reason, however, I left out. That being, ignorance of God's word. I have had my beliefs adjusted and rearranged by the truth found in Scripture. I have come to know that a few major things I have believed were in fact false as the truth was revealed to me through Scripture. This has happened more than once through participation on this forum. I thank God for it. So, it really doesn't matter that we agree or disagree on this issue. The challenge, however, is to substantiate your belief with Scripture. Regarding this topic, I have already done so. Sincerely, Jeff |
