What insightful comments. I am learning at my age.
QUESTION: Would it be a bad thing if I was in support of Christian values and practiced the teachings while doubting the existence of God, Heaven and Hell? I am such an all or none personality, that it is very difficult for me when I see people claim to be Christian yet do and say things that are so contradictory to my understanding of faith.
EXAMPLE: I believe in an eye for an eye and will not turn the other cheek. For me it is as if the Bible was a living changing document until Jesus inspired the current version I will refer to as the King James Version. Then the morphing of Jewish to Christian and heals dug in. That's it, no more modification or updates. Regardless of how many chosen ones there were in the past, we are now the only path to the light. Could Jesus have been a well thought out conspiracy? I think, portions of the Old Testament, the Islamic Koran and the Bible are the way to believe and they should all be considered doors to an afterlife.
