Christianity being based on faith says a mouthful.
Faith 2000 years ago for people that could not comprehend, yes.

It is a different day.
The human race is waking up to much deeper Truths, more understanding...
as Jesus said in the dramatic scene of knowing what was about to happen:
There is so much I want to tell you , but you cannot bear it now.*

His own disciples that saw him turn into pure light*...there were things they could
still not understand. Small minds back then.
Not any more...we are waking up.

*John16:12 at the Last Supper
*Mark 9 the Transfiguration
You've had some lovely posts in this thread (as usual). I appreciate your fresh and hopeful perspective, Miss H.

You're right.



I should restate it as: You can introduce a brick to light but you can't make it see.

Can't win an argument - when there is no argument. I am not arguing with anybody.

Maybe the bricks are the hard-hearted people who will not allow God to soften their hearts - and they continue to punch at the air when there is no fight present.

No.

The bricks are people who accept things that make no sense - just because it's in an old book.
