My pastor was a devout Christian for around 60 years, went back to school (PhD) and after years of intense research and prayer, came to the conclusion that all he had left was faith, because he discovered that Jesus probably never existed at all, and too many other things to mention.
He quit the ministry and people kept saying that he never was a true Christian, or that he had some besetting sin in his life, or that he blasphemed, etc, etc..
But the truth is, that he simply learned more about what he believed and found it to be lacking so much that to continue to believe it would be ridiculous! Just like people who didn't believe in cells or atoms, or that the Earth wasn't the center of the solar system - when they looked through the microscope or telescope - and saw that what they believed just couldn't be - why, they were left with no choice but to CHANGE their belief!
I will stand by my knowledge FOREVER - that my pastor was a GENUINE CHRISTIAN. Now he's human - and better!
