Of course my faith was real. What turned out not to be real, for me, was the stuff that I had had faith in.

Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Which stuff did you have faith in that turned out not to be real? And how did you know they were not real?

I just said it isn't important to me. If it doesn't matter to me then how is it the most important?

It could be literal fire. It could be simply separation from God. When it comes to things that do not concern salvation, I don't concern myself nor do I care.

Make assumptions about it if you like. It is your free will to do so.

Fetchmyjunk,

Your posts are very worthwhile. And you should not listen to unfair criticisms of divegeester.

I believe that some readers are assisted to get some things sorted out logically in considering the Christian faith.

Do you derive some benefit from author Paul Copan by any chance?
Doesn't hurt to ask.

Some of his books -

True For You But Not For Me,
God Goes to Starbucks,
How Do You Know You're Not Wrong?
That's Just Your Interpretation"

for example ?

Go and read FMFs post on page 19 of this thread. These are his exact words, "Of course what I believed to be real was, in fact, not real."

So are the words written in the Bible only true to those that accept them or are they universally true and apply to everyone?
