I have a question for everybody.

Belief: Anything believed or accepted as true.
Believe: To have trust or confidence.
Faith: Complete trust or confidence.I have found no reason to trust or have confidence in the supernatural portions of the Bible. We should trust in God to what?The wisdom passed down from the experiences of the ancients from various cultures help to guide my life besides my own observations and experiences.For me to put trust or confidence in a supreme being the supreme being would need to show himself in the fasion of 1Kings 18:25-39.Why the need to believe in someone who is not visible? I've been a Christian all my life and then I studied the Bible.

Actually the lack of a god showing itself to me brings me to my conclusion to not trust in an unseen being.The ancients wrote as their era dictated. Their political and religious practices, what they saw happening around them, how they preceived what happened around them, and the knowledge at their disposal.The errors are not the problem. Saying they don't exist is the problem. That's what kills the trust. If I can't trust them in little things why should I trust them in the big things like a supreme being. (sound familiar?) So since we don't have the truly original manuscripts from OT or NT and I don't read dead languages, I have to trust the clergy (who have supposedly gone to college to learn what is truly correct) or my bible translations. I have various bibles and they don't always agree with each other. I can't trust what I can't see or interact with in some fashion.When software or hardware gets outdated it won't communicate with other systems. We definitely need an update from the manufacture if it is still in business.
