What do you base your beliefs on

Why do so many people base their beliefs on just the bible. And literary? Why would you not take everything into consideration. Logic and feelings. To me it's like trying to cross the lake in a boat but refusing the paddle. 🤣 And then saying the boat's no good 🙄

I don't think anyone actually just believes what the Bible says; there always has to be interpretation involved, and that involves all the kinds of factors you are mentioning.

I think my beliefs come a lot from my upbringing, plus the workings of my particular mix of emotional and logical thinking on my life experiences and what I have read and learned, which includes the Bible and a lot else.

@ServantOfTheGoddess some do seem to just use the bible though.

@NoGamesTolerated Oui.
I know there are people who [b]say [/b]they just believe in the Bible, but I don't think that is actually possible. There are always other factors influencing their beliefs.
@ServantOfTheGoddess well then sir.. you’d be wrong. ✌️

@NoGamesTolerated Do you have any evidence to back up your claim, madame?
@ServantOfTheGoddess your prerogative.
@ServantOfTheGoddess I’m glad you asked actually. I see his handy work. Every time I look up into the sky I see the stars he flung up there and told them to stay. I see the sun that he placed and told it to shine… as well as the moon 🌝 🌚.. I see him in the majestic mountains, and the valley below… I see him in the human body with all its complex systems that HE designed. But most importantly it’s like the little boy that’s kite got so far out of site, and somebody asked him, how do you know it’s still up there. He said, “cause if feel a tug every now and again”… and so like the little boy I feel my maker tugging and talking to my heart … He reveals himself to those that believe and obey him.

@NoGamesTolerated C'est très beau et je suis tout à fait d'accord pour ce qui est de croire en Dieu.

But, I still maintain that you don't "just believe in the Bible". For one thing, which Bible? As you know, different Jewish and Christian traditions include different books in the Bible, and that makes a difference to the overall message. The Bible itself does not tell us which books it includes, so that is the influence of other factors right there.
@ServantOfTheGoddess It does NoT matter to me what you maintain!! Your thoughts of me are irrelevant for my life. I know what’s what in me. I’m done … you might be able to convince someone of this but I assure you monsieur that I’m not one of them. I’m rooted and grounded in the truth. Make of it what you will… Have a good day ami!

@NoGamesTolerated Je suis en effet un ami, pas un ennemi, mais si tu veux pas discuter, eh bien, n'en parlons plus.
@ServantOfTheGoddess

J'ai dit au revoir, mais je suppose que vous avez besoin du dernier mot. D'accord 👌

Besides like I said your thoughts have absolutely nothing to do with MY reality and I for sure don’t care about what you think of me. I feel sorry that you are deceived and Satan has you right where he wants you to be. Good night!

Pas en toute, j'ai écrit ma réponse et puis ensuite j'ai vu votre "au revoir".

Puis vous avez dit "au revoir" pas "adieu" :)

Bonne nuit à vous.
