Very good. I adopted this view a few years ago after learning, reading, experiencing God and his way in my life and how he treated me. "Strength, Discipline, Honor, Truth." I have that as a welcome message on my cell phoneachilles12604 wrote:I'm not sure I understand which WHY you are refering to.
Holy cow, I just realized what debating has done to me. I am beginning to examine avenues of thought that previously wouldn't have even occured to me. I think that a good thing. . .
Anyway. . .
I think you mean, "Why do I choose the Christian faith over the others, apologetics aside."
If this is your question then my answer is simply it makes the most sense to my soul. A Christian, a true follower of Christ, should impliment a kind of code in their lives. Almost like the knights of old, a Christian should defend, protect, nurish, and support the weak and downtrodden. They should be as strong as they can so as to be able to withstand the battles of life, spiritual and physical. They should always try and increase their knowledge of humanity, the world and themselves so at to always be aware of their abilities and those of the people around them and to be aware of the dangers and snags that will probably come calling.
Since this is the way I see Jesus, and it fits with my views, I choose to follow along with it.
I became a Christian when I was 12 or 13, could never remember. Been to church all my life. I have had and wrestled with questions about my identity, purpose, etc. When people quote the Scriptures about our identity in Christ, I just can't bite it due to how the "identity" is presented. God showed me how it was presented, and not just in quoting verses.So why did I accept to follow Christ? Well, because it would cost me something. That much I have learned. If a belief doesn't cost you anything, is it worth following? Christ said to count the cost, that I would teach. I can't help but quote Rambo right now: "Live for nothing or die for something". But I never found this out till much later. Figure that one out
