I'm prepared to fight for a church that is inclusive and maybe even for one that is honest about disagreements, if in the mean time, we are prepared to put them aside for the sake of a world that is desperate to know God's love and provision. This is the way I have come around to seeing things, but it has not been easy. There are some great peaks of excitement and discovery that Christians aren't really too different, but some of the struggles with my faith on the way have been scary. I've read similar testimonies of people who have had their faith destroyed through learning and reading theology, but that's a risk I was forced into by a mind that asked too many questions and people patient enough to talk to me about a rather different God that they knew. I thought I was nearing the end of a journey that has tested my faith, but I've found that one little part of it is over.
Faith is a much bigger journey over all.
At the end of this little part, I have found the God I know is much bigger than the one I could previously put in my box and the God who died has now gloriously risen to life. Indeed, don't get me wrong, Christianity does demand answers. We claim that a man was sent by God to suffer for the things that we do wrong and fulfil the unfulfilled lives we can lead. This man was called Jesus and purported to be the Son of God. This body was one that the authorities would have been anxious to find.
