Sounds noble on the surface and the core truth you hit the nail on the head is the general bent of one’s desire should remain fixed on Christ. How you work this out will necessitate changes in auxilliary beleives. For example,
Do you really fully understand ALL Jesus said and commanded at once?
Do you fully obey ALL at once.

If the answers are No, then the more you understand the more you change.
If your answers are Yes, what are you striving for?

Sometimes we don’t like to admit that our Christian beliefs change. It makes us feel that somehow our faith might be on shaky ground. We worry that “mature Christians” will think less of us if we doubt something that everyone else seems to be dead sure about.

Looking back, I realize I have done a one-eighty on most things. We must stay with the basics, but our beliefs will move toward a more complete truth. Thank you for a thoughtful message.

If you are a Christian Your core believes, conviction, Life Style, You Needs to follow what God Word Says.….. If Jesus Christ said it and he passed his teachings down to his 12 Disciples, later Apostles and they tough the people in those days how much more should we who we call our selves Christians today need to OBEY what the Scriptures say and not ADD to it, and take it away because we don’t like what it says. That person is what I call a Burger King Region, have it your way. as It says in Galatians 1:6–8 powerful statement from the Apostle Paul, which many, many Church’s are doing to this day. Not only that verse look at, 1Timothy 4:16 . … I can go on and on but the TRUE QUESTION IS
Not what did Jesus do, but “ what DID Jesus Say”..In the end of our life here on planet earth we will meet our maker and he will say this to you and me.
Matthew 7:21–23 Or Jesus would say
Matthew 25:23
I want God the Father and my Lord Jesus say to me. “Well done my good and faithful servant come in”
Amen.

A very thoughtful article as always, and yes I have changed my mind on all of those topics: and that sometimes includes holding two different views simultaneously in mysterious tension!

T’woud be a strange individual who NEVER changed or grew from childhood onwards — makes me think of the verses in Corininthian’s ..when a child I thought as a child! I think God gives us all space to grow and develop — and I know from experience that God sometimes changes us and our long held beliefs so that HE can do a work in us and through us that would not have been possible in spiritual babyhood. I do though believe that some belief’s are not for changing for if they did — all scripture would need to be altered. For example the substitutionary death of Christ and his resurrection amongst others.

God bless Chris — thanks for making us all think .…..and through it GROW!!

Hi Neil, sorry if I didn’t make much sense. What I was trying to portray was, what did the writer mean by God made heaven and earth. Did they mean heaven, everything you can see in the night sky and where God lives.They certainly had no concept of how big the sky(universe) is to us now. I do believe the Bible is the word of God but those words are certainly open to interpretation as Chris’ article points out. Hope this makes more sense.

Hi Chris, no idea how the universe was formed. I am sure God could tell me but he’d have to kill me first. Seriously though, God trying to explain the universe to humans would be like us teaching applied mechanics to a cow. I don’t really grapple with whether God created the universe or not, as long as I can realise that he is my universe, how heavy is that. Cheers your articles do make my think outside the box

As the Earth is a part of the universe, then his statement makes no sense. Plus there is no evidence for a heaven!
