[QUOTE="hedrick, post: 68702349, member: 239032"] I’m not sure why you say you don’t have faith. In terms of belief, it seems to me that thinking God and Christ are the only thing that makes sense is enough. Other things like the Trinity are useful, but historically they arose mostly to protect against misunderstanding, not to create a long list of things Christians have to believe. Beyond that, faith is really more about trusting God than believing a list of things. Jesus focused mostly on how we live. How we treat others. Basing our lives on prayer. Coming before God with repentance. Things like that. Obviously you can’t live the way he taught without believing in one God, and you can’t be his follower without understanding that he’s God’s son. But you seem to believe those things. [/QUOTE]
