The Hard Questions

As a Christian, have you ever lived a certain way for so long, and then stopped for some reason and asked: Where am I, what am I doing here and why am I doing what I am doing? If not, that time will come. It did for me. Moreover, for you that time to ask yourself the hard questions may be now. For we all must be honest with ourselves, and find the answers truthfully and honestly without bias.
 
  • Am I practicing my Faith: “Because this is the way it has always been done.” And, “Well, because my pastor told me it was so.”
  • Is the Faith I practice today the same or close to the one of that of the followers of Yeshua (Jesus) after His death, burial, resurrection and ascension?
  • Can I trace my beliefs, doctrines, definitions and practices to the 1st Century after Yeshua’s death, burial, resurrection and ascension?
  • Down deep, do I know and want to know and keep the original faith of the 1st century Apostles?
  • If so, what was it?
  • Does it still exist today?
  • Can I be apart of it?
  • Has satan successfully hidden the true way of Faith as it was originally meant to be from the majority of the people for over 2000 years?
  • How much of what I believe and practice is custom, culture, tradition, doctrine of men, and how much is truly Scripture?
  • How old are the particular doctrines I know and follow? When and where are its origins?
  • Where do my religious holidays, traditions, customs, and practices come from?
  • Why do we do what we do in that regard?
  • Do they have their true and foundational origins in the Scripture?
  • Am I looking at my faith the way it was originally meant to be looked at, or do I interpret it through bias cultural lenses?
  • If I found out that something I believed or practiced was wrong, would I have the guts to change it no matter what anyone else says?
  • Or, would I go with the crowd, not rock the boat, and just fade once again into the background?
 
These are only a few of many questions we could ask. It is our religious duty and obligation to know what we believe and why.
 
I Peter 3:15 “But, sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.”
