In 2006 I was writing for a local "ecumenical" magazine and realized very quickly that the things I believed...the things I thought were part of Biblical Christianity...were not what many Christians believed. So in 2007 when I came to Eastside one of the first Bible studies I taught was based on this list. I wanted to start off with everyone knowing where I was coming from in terms of my personal beliefs. I know that there are many other "crazy" things I believe but these seem to be the most notable. I posted this list in 2008 but I feel like I want to share it again!
I believe...
...God created the world in six 24 hour days
...Noah really did build an ark and that every animal was on it
...Jesus is the Son of God
...That Jesus’ mother, Mary was a virgin at his birth
...Jesus died on the cross for my sins
...Jesus was resurrected from the dead after three days in the grave
...The Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost and filled the church
...The gifts of the Spirit are for today–including speaking in other tongues
...In divine healing
...There is a difference between right and wrong
...In the devil
...In a literal hell
...Jesus will return before the tribulation and rapture the church
...God loves even me
...The Bible!
