Come now let us reason together

"We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it." Heb 2:1

"Faith...is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods. For moods will change, whatever view your reason takes. I know that by experience. Now that I am a Christian I do have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable: but when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable...That is why Faith is such a necessary virtue: unless you teach your moods "where they get off," you can never be either a sound Christian or even a sound atheist, but just a creature dithering to and fro, with its beliefs really dependent on the weather and the state of its digestion." --Lewis

"I just hold onto hope and hold onto a hand..then bloom where you're planted" --dad

I've been wrong to study the distortions in hopes of knowing the truth. If I hold onto what is true I'll recognize the counterfeit. Simple enough?
