So, I want to answer Haley's comment to my previous blog. The answer is too long for just a comment reply, so I'll try to fit in a blog. The comment is why I don't beleive Jesus Christ died for our sins? and since I don't believe that what do I believe he existed and what role he played teacher, good man, or savior and god.
The easy answer is I don't know. It doesn't really explain anything and I could have said that easily without the backing of a blog. Which would have saved everyone invovled a lot of time. So I guess now I have to delve deep into the intricacy of my belief system or in this case lack of.
First of all in all probability Jesus was an actual guy. He probably was a pretty good guy as well. All that makes reasonable sense to me. My doubts lie in the fact that he is all and everything that Bible says he is. I am not saying he couldn't be all these things. I just am not sure. I have problems with the errancy of the bible. I just am not sure it is 100% correct about everything. Honestly I have problems with anything man made that claims to be 100% true especially religion. Lets face it if the Bible came out last year no one in the right mind would believe every little saying as fact. I am not saying the Bible is accurate on most counts but, as for devine inspiration I have my doubts.
I think that it is the crux of my dilemma. I just have enough to believe anything produced by man. (ie the Bible or religion) Which brings an intersting question I am curious if anyone has an answer for me. Can you believe in God and not believe in religion. (that is of course not in a blonde LA supermodel I am so spiritual way) I think I do. But, I don't know I am not sure about that sometimes. I just know I have faith enough to believe that there is a God or at there is something going on but, not enough faitht to believe what the Bible tells me in a literal way.
I'm not here to discount anyones beliefs or religions. Frankly if anyone has anything I missing that would be awsome. Trust me when I say it sucks not really know what you believe. Only you believe something. How ever odd that sounds. I just don't know what Jesus was. I don't know. I just know I don't believe in the whole story enough to call myself a Christian. I might be wrong but, I just don't know.
