The common belief seemingly touted by much of the world is that a Christian is someone who has checked their brain at the door. To this way of thinking, Christian = ignorant; non-believer=intelligent. Many of us Christians have given much evidence to support such a presupposition, but it actually isn't true.
The apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthains 5:7, "We walk by faith, not by sight." He did NOT say, "We walk by faith, not by reason." Elsewhere he said, "I would not have you ignorant..."(1 Corinthians 10:1).
The purpose of these words and the ones to follow is to help dispel the notion that a Christian is necessarily ignorant. We aren't. We believe it is possible to love the Lord with all of our mind as well as our heart. Being a Christian doesn't immunize you from stupidity; being a Christian doesn't mean you can hide illogical ideas behind the curtain of "belief." In fact, we believe that "God makes sense."
I hope to engage you in this ongoing discussion as we walk with God toward a clearer understanding of the truth.
Thanks for reading,
Tom
