Answer 7

it goes beyond the story being percieved as fiction. Faith operates beyond sight and sound and christianity has stablized my life amidst the crazyness that goes on in the world. you may see it as controlling but in reality rules save lives. we aren't forced to conform to its values, its our choice. sometimes it is safer to operate within boundaries but at the end of the day you decide what you want out of life... and success in life entails living according to guidelines which ensure safety and a key to success. Why don't i question old beliefs? Christianity is changing and is adapting to the modern world. There must be however core beliefs that musnt change (jesus saves, belief in the holy spirit, God will judge in the end)- these are some of them. This is for your own good... believing that jesus is my salvation is one of them. If you are going to question even core beliefs like this then everything is up for interpretation and no more stability according to christian values. like an engine needs oil in order for it to run at all, the basic doctrines of christianity must be in place in order for it to be stable. people dismiss the idea that god will send people to h**l... we send ourselves to h**l because we vigioursly defend our choice to choose 'what we want'. Again we have a choice and God will respect that but people have to be aware of consequences to our choices and every choice has a result attached to it. others say "God is a God of love"... but he is also a God of justice, and in this age of individuality and freedom to believe in our own concept of the after life, we can choose not to believe in bad consequences to our choices. we don't take stock of the realities of what maybe in store for those when they die and are confronted with the reality of God. it is your choice to not believe and are entitled to it, but it is also your ownership of choices you make. what have people got to lose? nothing if he doesnt exist, and everything to gain if he does and you meet him when you die and have accepted him into your heart before death.
