I had this thought this morning: I can defend with knowledge what I do not have the faith to believe.
It is mainly relating to something I was reading on a friend's Facebook post about Jesus' views on sex. He is an athiest so natually I did not agree with the content of the article. Although I did not have the time nor the brain-awakedness to responde I knew I could, and yet, I know it's something that I don't necessarily believe.
For months I have been struggling with these things and have trying to work through things both on my own and with Jesse I guess nothing is really fitting in to place. But why would I want to defend something I didn't really believe in...it brings up two questions.
Do I still really believe in this? Why would I defend something I didn't believe in?
So I am quite confused. I have the knowledge of these things from growing up in the church for my whole life, and continue to go. What would you do in this situation? Where would you go from here?
I get philosophical in things like this... such as wanting to know/debate the difference between belief and knowledge, and what is the difference between the things you think and the actions you take - which reflects what is truly happening within your soul?
