[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3196188, member: 7900"] In my studies, I've come up with a series of questions to ask of others. It's kind of an introduction to finding the right faith. Presuming that one believes in God, these questions have a logical progression. 1. Who will judge mankind in the end? (This is why I always say that I'm not the judge, but God will be.) 2. What has God given us that indicates how he wants us to live and worship? (In this case, to me it is the Bible, considering that it is inspired.) 3. Does the Bible show us examples of punishment and reward for our actions? (Too many examples to list here.) 4. If one is in a "religion" that teaches anything other than what the Bible teaches, is that "religion" a false teacher? (Also applies to people.) I'm sure that more questions could follow, but this gives one a quick series of questions. My beliefs are a result of being raised in the church of Christ, but also always questioning my own faith. Over the years, I've been blessed to have conversations with many people of different faiths who have provided me with insight. In honesty, I served with a gentleman from Iowa, who, at the time, was more diligent in reading his Bible than I was. That gentleman is/was(?) a Catholic. And, in keeping with the original posting of this thread, I have no problem with a Catholic being a judge, Congress-critter, or President. [/QUOTE]
