This must also be our approach when contrasting true belief with some doctrine created from isolated scriptures, courtesy of "one who comes preaches another Jesus whom we haven't preached, or a different gospel which you haven't accepted." Corruption often comes when the gospel's simplicity is complicated and misapplied. "It's the truth that sets us free, not a knowledge of error" (John 8:32).
Jesus purchased for us salvation, which implies not only the idea of forgiveness of sin, but also of healing and health. The benefits of "salvation" include healing, health, safety, deliverance, soundness and wholeness. The Lord has delivered me from my own struggles and enabled me to stand. He can do the same to you, but first you have to get your heart right with God and get saved.
I urge you to check out for yourself and investigate whether there's, indeed, any truth to the Christian claim affirming the existence of a personal God. The ongoing power of Christ to transform human lives gives corroborative evidence to the assertion that He lives in a more real and powerful way.
So there, as you can see, you cannot falsify my faith.
I reject Christianity and I have given lengthy explanations why I disbelieve it. We have discussed the Trinity, Sola Fide, original sin, the scriptures, the historicity of the scriptures, and how Christianity evolved to become what it is today.
Now you want me to look at personal testimonies of Christians as corroborative evidence for Christianity. Yes, I remember your own experience you shared here. But we can also find similar testimonies from Hindus affirming their faith. I'm sure you will dismiss their testimonies.
Jesus said, according to the Gospel, that we must worship God with all our minds. How can I do that if my mind cannot wrap around the notion of the Trinity?
