Is logic and reason to a Christian what water is to a drowning man?

Question

The Christians bravely struggle to keep their heads above logic and reason but, in this age of information and anonymous opinion, the level is quickly rising. How long before they succumb and are forced to admit that there is no truth to their religion that they practice it just to make them feel good?

Answer 1

That would imply that Christians are in trouble and logic and reason wouldn't help them. On the contrary, logic and reason could be, to a Christian, what a life jacket is to a drowning man, but they push it away and insist upon their right to drown.

Answer 2

This is more than a community and more than a communion, it is a Divine Covenant that is beyond the natural norms of human endeavor. Further the Law is eminent beyond natural norms, encompassing both life and death. Finally, in the embodiment of a mystery that embraces a Divine Oneness with God, a transformation above natural being is comprehended by no human mind in completeness, but is contemplated over thousands of years of testimony of the saints. So we do not find the work of one man or any one group here. But something far greater, that no one man could contain.

For what is a difference between a myth and a sustained reality? And what is the difference between a reasonable belief and a blind consideration? Where are the witnesses, where are the evidences, and where are the promises fulfilled? What consideration is exchanged in the contract? Who is holding the chattel?

Be Certain that it is The One who holds the Power of Creation in the Palm of His Hand. Make your Covenant with Him. Resolve in this Covenant to live by the Creed.

It is He who walks on the waters, who upholds the drowning man. The one lacking reason is the one who claims that
money is a means of security, and that strength is found only in numbers. Because with them their net will break and finding them with nothing to uphold them from the depth of a dreadful abyss. Yet the one who contends with Christ, finds His nets strong and everlasting, even unto life everlasting.

When does a non-believer wake up and stop spending their time convincing others not to believe. It amazes me how God haters spend their time spewing hate. That's a good way to live. I'm sure your morals are together to, can almost guarantee you had a horrible childhood. and probably have never had a loving relationship with anybody. So keep hating, and have a great day tomorrow. Oh yea, it's amazing after that Big Bang that everything just landed perfect. First explosion that ever did that.

Answer 4

If you don't have a relationship with God or don't believe in him, then why even spend the time to ask this question? I understand why you have the opinion that you do though. The only thing we have is the Bible and faith. Thats all we need. Then there's people and other christains that just fuel the fire and give the image of God, the Bible and Christains in general a kick in the teeth. They take things in the Bible out of context and distort the whole thing. False prophets and wolves in sheeps clothing. Don't listen to what people say, you want to know the truth just read the Bible YOURSELF and YOU make the decisions YOURSELF. God tells us that those who faithfully believe in him will be scorned and ridiculed. He also says that if we go through that, then we are blessed, and in the end we will have eternal life with him. So instead of arguing in an angry manner, take it as a sort of accomplishment. You can not force someone to believe or not believe. God gave us all the free will to choose. A lot of christains don't keep that in mind and get frustrated and shove it down your throat and tell you you're going to hell...at least thats all your gonna remember. So many so called christains ruin it for people and it frustrates me, but thats the hand we're dealt as christains. Satan's a punk b!@t&, and his throne is upon this earth for now. Adam and Eve were given everything in this world as their domain, but also given a choice. They chose to give in to satan's persuation and ate from the "tree of knowlege of good and evil". They chose not to listen to God and listened to satan...opening the flood gates of sin into the world in a sense. And now here we are today, this world is full of crazy, horrible things happening everyday. Its sad, I'd just like to give the word of the lord to as many people as possible in hopes that maybe they make a choice to accept God into their hearts and recieve eternal life, a free ticket out of this sinful, destructive mess we as humans have made it with satan's persuations...I can't wait till satan burns. I'd like to piss in his face really, but maybe if God wants us to forgive everyone, and turn the other cheeck, should I forgive satan and let God deal with him... I'm sorry that people have ruined or twisted your perception of God or christianity. I promise you he is real and he loves you. It totally your choice to accept him as your father or not. Its a tough subject. A lot of fights when there doesn't need to be. Don't allow yourselves to become closeminded or blind. God bless...
