Faith, What would change your faith? Is your faith so weak that one movie or novel would change what you believe? Was your faith changed because of the following movies "The Passion for Christ"; "Narnia; The Lion the witch and the wardrobe"; The Davinci code? Mere Chistianity; Dr. Seus?

I have heard that some peoples faith has changed either for the better or the worse because of reading these books and has changed their faith over night?

Has anything else ever broken you to change you faith?

I think if one book or movie has the power to change your faith over night than I don't think one had a strong faith to begin with in whatever you believe?

does that help Dave?

Hey Ray,

My faith has never been changed by the fact of a mere book, although many times I'll hear certain theologies(whether I know they are right or wrong) the Lord'll use them to direct me in my own study of what the bible says on a particular topic through His Word. I have never been swayed by any sort of books.

I have, however, been swayed heavily when my pastor opens up God's Word and the Lord preaches through Him the Word and how the Lord speaks to my heart. I am also easily swayed when I open my bible in the morning and the Lord shows me His truth.

My faith, however, is also often swayed by sin when I allow the devil to lie to me and I even go as far to listen to what he says in my ear. Oftentimes, I loose faith in what God can do, but the Lord has shown me recently that God does for sure give sin and never gives up on us.

The Lord "sways" me in the sense of that He leads me closer to Him. Those books mean nothing to me, other than that many believe the lies in such things instead of believing the Words of Christ.

Thankyou for this post Ray.. most defintily an interesting thought.

I am thankful that I have never strayed or had a changed in my following

of God for He has proven never to have lead me wrong. I know many are

influenced by these movies,books,and scientists and etc. Yet they unlike

the Lord are failable and been proven to be wrong often.

God Bless!

Grace to you,

Ray,

That helps quite a bit. My Faith is not my own. It is not my work but the work of God. No one or thing can steal me away from His hand. In Repentance and Rest lay my Salvation.

It is incumbent upon God not me. I already know the Truth. His name is Jesus.

Gods Spirit brought the Word which brought me hearing. Hearing the Word brought Faith. I am not saying I can't fall. I certainly can. That is why we must abide in Christ and His Word. Allowing the Lord to renew our minds.

If something is leading me away from the Lord? It would be best to run it through with the Sword of the Lord.

Peace,

Dave

The only thing thats ever changed my faith is me, the way I react to what ever is going on in my life, if I let my self feel like a victim, then my faith wavers. If I turn and lean on the Lord, trusting his word and seeking him out my faith grows.

Well, I suppose if some archeologist found the BONES of Jesus..................

No one or thing can steal me away from His hand.

But you have always the choice to leave it. That is what ray is enquiring about.

You may indeed have the choice to leave your faith ... whatever your faith may be. But one who actually is redeemed of Christ cannot escape, or "wriggle free" of Christ's faith. One who is redeemed doesn't want to. He is incapable of wanting to. God is faithful and will always complete the work he begins. If he has chosen from the foundation of the world those for whom Christ would die, and if he sent the Son on their behalf, and if the Son has done all that is necessary for them, and if God has promised so, then mone can be snatched from the hand of the Father or the Son, and that includes the self. Anyone who "leaves the faith" was never a part of it. Not my words, but the words of God through the Apostle John.
