believing without believing & faith
I mentioned in another post that I used to be a Christian & believed in the Bible. I had faith. I was taught to believe that the Bible is the word of God. After I denounced Christianity I knew that I could never again believe something or put my faith in the writings of some book just because it is supposed to be true.
So when I am to “believe without believing” what is the difference between that and blind faith?
Oh, & while your at it… can God make a boulder sooo heavy even He canââ?¬â?¢t lift it?

If the sorcerersââ?¬â?¢ world demanded ideas and actions contrary to the volunteersââ?¬â?¢ purpose, the volunteers simply refused to change.ââ?¬
Reference Document
As I read the books I keep desiring to do something. I keep thinking that I would like to make a reference document with definitions of all the points described in CCs books. For instance, The Mold of Man would be point and as I read though the books I would type DJs teachings & CCs insights on that subject and do the same for all the other subjects as I go along. In this way, each subject would be contained as opposed to each being spread out over two or three books.
I hesitate to begin this task for the following reasons:
� It�s a BIG job and would take a long time.
� Wouldn�t it just be another distraction from actually doing or not-doing?
� Maybe someone else has already done this.
ââ?¬Â¢ The cost verses reward ââ?¬â?? would it be worth it.
� Why do it? Because I keep thinking about doing it.
Opinions & Comments anyone?

Back in 7th grade, I was a bit of a rebel in middle school so they put me in a class for the kids that didnââ?¬â?¢t seem to fit in, it was called ââ?¬Å?New Horizons.ââ?¬
Greatings from OldDog
Hi everyone,
At bit about me: 37yrd male married twice, divorced once, two daughters. Have one dog, a cat and a mouse. We live in Maine, USA. Have been reading CC since I was a teenager. Have re-read the books many times. These are the only books I have read more then once ââ?¬â?? they never seem to get old! Felt as if I was the only one who appreciated his works but after reading through your boards, am happy to find my feelings baseless.
