I was talking to an individual about my blog and book. Specifically, our conversation was why some people just accept what the main stream religions teach while others need to search out, for themselves, the questions they have about religion.
What does God mean when he says: “. . .When you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord. . .” (Jeremiah 29:13-14 ESV)? What must this search involve?
As we have pointed out many times, we are finite and being finite means we cannot research every topic that comes up or interests us. And that includes our religious beliefs. So if we accept the belief system of a particular church, will God judge us for not making a more thorough search? Will he judge us for not critically examining the various religious beliefs that exist around our world?
