I am never sure when it comes to the more liberal theologians. I have been following you guys and for the most part, have kept silent. First of all- anything, anything requires faith whether it is in yourselves, someone else, something, or in a god, gods, or any of the religions that exist and have existed over the centuries. I happen to place my faith in the God of the Bible and in the Person of Jesus Christ as being the Messiah of all human-kind. That is an individual's choice.
Science requires a hypothesis, and then it is proven or disproven by experiments.
Well the statements that Jesus Christ made and the Bible makes also can be a hypothesis. In many experiments, it is best to try to prove the hypothesis false, then the case is dismissed forever from the inquirer's mind. I do not wish to disprove it because I am happy and content with the faith I have in the Bible and what it says about God, Jesus Christ, heaven, hell, death, eternity, etc. I do not need to disprove anything for the faith I have sustaind me and has for over 19 years thus far. I cannot speak for you or anyone else but for me, the Bible and Jesus Christ is the answer to our existence and life.
