A Foundation is something you start with and build on. It has to be right or the whole thing will turn out wrong. It has to be strong and sure. When your foundation is shaken, you can be shaken to your very core. . Then you'll need to take another look at things. What if the very foundation that you built your christian beliefs on was shaken? I'm not talking about Jesus the Christ. We know he is the cornerstone. The true foundation. But there are certain things that you start out believing about Jesus and base all the new things you learn on that so called truth.
You would have to re-think everything else that you thought you knew. This is where I found myself a few years ago. While going through a great trial and seeking peace and safety from the Lord, I began to learn that not everything that I had been taught in church was the truth. It started with small things.. . . . like that the three wise men did not visit Jesus in the manger. And that some of the animals came to the ark in sevens, not a pair of each. Those are simple things that I think most people know, but it really started me asking, "what else?".
I intend to write down my journey through these things as best I can and as I learn more. Half truths, mis-quoted scriptures, misconstrued ideas, and some favorite "bible quotes" that aren't even in the Bible. Hold on because some are shocking. Please remember, these are my understandings. They are not intended to impose on anyone and certainly not posted for debate. You came here voluntarily, so if you comment be kind. . . .
I Cor. 13:1 ...and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
Hopefully sharing some things I have learned will help someone else to move forward in God.
