I stole this from another group, thought it might be interesting here. Is anyone 100% sure of their faith? (hope I'm putting this in the right place too)
Can we, as Christians be 100% sure of our faith?
I was told on the other site that we can't be. Of course it was by non-Christians so I know it's a spiritual thing. DH and I started to discuss it and it was an interesting discussion. I think we CAN be but often are not b/c of our humanness. I was also told by them that we can't "know", which Scripture clearly says we can know and that through the Holy Spirit we do know what we believe is true and real. I know I am 100% sure of my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior, and the basis of my faith, God. I know I'm not always 100% sure in every area of my faith though, although I believe I can be if I continuously, daily walked with God and did what Eph 6 says with putting on the armor of God so that Satan could not fill my head with doubts. But again my humanness gets in the way. I'm not 100% sure of every doctrine of my faith but the basis of my faith, Jesus Christ and God's love, I am fully confident in that. I have often been accused of being arrogant b/c I have such a strong confidence in Jesus Christ and what I believe - Jesus is the only way, the trinity, the work of the Holy Spirit, etc. (basics of our faith)
Thought this was an interesting question asked by a non-Christian - can people be 100% sure of their faith? Or is that an oxymoron?
