we call it faith.

i publish this post with much fear and trepidation.

there was a few things that the guest speaker for yesterday's service that i did not quite agree with, there were things he said that i could refute with verses from the bible. (they were minor points.)

maybe he's being too radical and his style is a deviance from what i'm used to. maybe i'm just irritated at him for making me delay my lunch by one hour. maybe i'm just nitpicking because i have an initial bias against him.


i have no idea what the truth is now.

i see people accepting what he says, hook, line and sinker; and i start thinking about blind faith. where do we draw the line when it comes to the Word of God?

realise that this problem would not exist if the supernatural realm is something understood by the human mind, something that science could explain and rationalise. it is fact that God is beyond science (even though science is starting to prove the existence of a God) and the bible tells us that His wisdom is beyond the wisest of men.

faith is blind to some extent. we believe in something that we have not yet seen and God likes it. "blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believed", no? yet i do think there is a delicate balance between faith and mindlessly lapping up the words
of a man recognised to be annointed by God.

after all, humans can make mistakes.



my education is starting to bear fruit. i am increasingly becoming a critical (to the extent of cynical) consumer of even my own faith.
