Today’s question stems from a quote by the German theologian Paul Tillich:
“Doubt isn’t the opposite of faith. It is an element of faith.“
There are those who seem to think that one must be completely certain about everything in order to believe or act; however, I would ask…
If there is no doubt, can there be faith?
I was reflecting on a post I did a while back with the following question:
What beliefs do I hold and what beliefs do I embrace?
I was watching Lost last week and this question grabbed me:
“Why do some find it so hard to believe? Why do some find it so easy?”
Related to issues of faith, this is a very interesting question.
Today’s question is inspired by Bonhoeffer from his classic book Life Together.
Is it possible to live in, and contribute to, healthy community without being able to live alone? How comfortable are you with yourself? Are you at peace with who you are and who you are not? Only then, can you truly be yourself with others in a way that gives as well as receives, void of hypocrisy.
Has our understanding of God, our theology, been ignorant of the perspective of the arts? Have we effectively engaged theology with our left-brains, starving theology from the important perspective of our right-brains?
