I got wrapped into a conversation that made me question whether I understood what I believe in. It's easy to sit back and say "I believe in such and such" But its not as easy to explain your belief to someone.. Or is it?
Its one thing to have blind faith, it's another thing to truly believe in what you believe in. You know you believe in it, truly believe in something, when you can explain it. Not just the theological mumbo jumbo, but in a way in which someone can understand. You know you truly believe when you can bring it to someone on their level.
This does bring up the question: Why is it that we only question our belief when we someone is questioning it themselves?
So here's the question I pose to you: What do you believe? What teachings of your faith don't you understand? What teachings have you not taken to heart enough to be able to teach someone else?
