Another ridiculous MacnPat question

[Far Rider]

I copied this from THC. It's from MacnPat/Sarahnn, who thinks shes a saved Christistian, although she doesn't believe the Bible.

Here's the question:

Can you make me believe something that goes against the very fiber of my being? Can you make me believe that the moon is made of cheese? Can you make me believe that the stars are really diamonds in the sky? Can you make me believe that Hitler was misguided and not evil?

So, Christians, knowing this, how is a person who simply does not believe the supernatural stories of the Bible saved? Including Jesus dying and coming to life again, along with Lazarus?

How can a relatively sane and pragmatic person make it to heaven without being a liar and saying he believes something he simply cannot.

My first response is that if they don't believe the Bible, what do they think they need to be saved from?

If they don't believe in the Bible, why are they worried about going to Heaven??

What pagan religion does she belong too?

That was the first thing that popped into my head.

However, the leftists (read: anti-Christians) were telling her what a sage she was for bringing it up.

I was starting to think it was a trick question and I wasn't in on the joke.

She claims to be Christian, but she doesn't believe Jesus died and rose again, she doesn't think her salvation depends on the blood of Christ, she doesn't believe the Bible if it's talking about the supernatural, and (naturally) she hates St. Paul.

Maybe she's an Episcopalian.

She claims she a christian just in case, you know, to keep her bases covered so when she kicks the bucket she stand in front of St. Peter and say "But I SAID I was a christian!"

[Far Rider]

Yeah, like that little weasely guy in "The Mummy" who has a symbol for every religion around his neck.

Don't forget that when Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, He showed His disciples his nail-scarred hands in order that they would believe it was Him. And also, doubting Thomas.

He didn't scorn them, Jesus wanted them to know it was really Him.

To answer my own question from 4 years ago, I think we believe through the witness of the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit only comes with Salvation. And salvation comes through trusting God.

I don't have all the answers. Being a Christian doesn't make me all-knowing. I will have questions till I die. But, I know where my hope lies, I put it there.

Cool thread!!!
