[QUOTE="anx66, post: 74279453, member: 385903"] Doesn't John in his Gospel state that the Holy Spirit,when he comes, will lead you (Christians) into all truth? If so, why are there so many differences amongst Christian beliefs. Truth is that which agrees with how things really are. How could I know the truth, if there is so much variation? Also, I've be castigated by one of my pastors, in public, for not believing what he believes. I've been told to agree with everyone, at a particular prayer meeting, so that a particular prayer would be answered, despite the fact that it didn't fit with what the Bible seems to teach. It's like the truth is something difficult to find in society and likewise in the Church. When I first became a Christian in 1985, I heard the gospel and believed it, and was taught the beliefs of the particular denomination I belonged to, and thought that those beliefs where those subscribed by all churches which were "alive". Since, having the internet it has opened up my eyes to the huge variety of views that people have, and it seems that each person is fortunate if he finds the truth. Even on these forums, the variety of beliefs is amazing. It's all very confusing, to say the least. It's a lonely road in the Christian life, when you can't find agreement with those around you. This may paint a picture of me be a challenging person to get along with, but my desire is to know the truth and to live by it. Your God, if he turns out to exist, may punish me for not believing he exists, but how can I know the truth when there are so many apparent versions of it. Steve [/QUOTE]
