re: #333 Inquisitive

I know his word…..I know those nice parables…..I believe! and for many….that “I believe” is all that they feel needs to be said….It is faith!

I guarantee you that if you told 99% of pastors/ministers/priests out there that you just “believe” and don’t care about the message, they would be sorely disappointed in you and they would try to educate you on the importance of why you should believe.

They would also be pretty shocked if you told them that the words of Jesus don’t matter as long as you believe. Almost every Pastor I’ve ever talked to has studied the Bible for years at various schools to understand the depth of the message. There is a reason for that. They don’t just go around telling people to believe just for the sake of believing. They try to impart the reason for this deeply held belief.
