takes faith to believe in what?

ss2, i've decided to take an evolution and ecology class; reqd for genetics majors; it's not going to turn into a bash-christianity class, but i wouldn't be surprised if here and there they say stuff like oh creationists say this and that, but evolution has shown this and that.

people always say it takes faith to believe in jesus... that the proof that god exists isn't there... but these past 2 or 3 years have actually shown me that it takes more faith to believe in atheism, or evolutionism, or something other than christinity, to explain the rest of this world...

and it has a lot to do with the historical evidence and stuff... like what they've found, how crucifixation works, etc...

but i would say, most recently, like the past year or so, it's because i've realized just how protected and uncorrupted the kjv bible we read today is... that has strengthened my faith ever so the more...

now i could go on and on about this, but lemme give you a narrow perspective on this...

a lot of christians seem to believe that god's word was perfect AT SOME POINT IN TIME; then gradually as they copied and recopied the word(before the printing press), errors crept in, and the thought is that today, we read something that is clearly not the bible of past, but christians will argue that the main pieces are still there; jesus died on the cross, blah blah blah, but hey, maybe the story of samson got distorted or this and that.

the problem is that the bible says that god's word IS truth, and that there are numerous passages which suggest that EVERY word of god is truth; either you believe that the bible translated into languages other than greek or hebrew is perfect as god intended down to every last word, or you're calling god a liar.

not that we actually say that god's a liar outloud; no christian does that; but i believe we infer it. part of our reasoning for this i believe is that man is falliable; hence, we believe that man's works are falliable, but god uses them for his glory. the bible suggests this as well; joseph's brothers selling him into captivity, not knowing they set him up to save the middle eastern world from famine. god using samson's sexual desires to make his paths cross with the philistines and then to set him up to destroy the philistines. god hardening the hearts of the pharisees so that they would have the nerve to crucify the son of god.

but god's word is not of man; it is of god. and for this reason, it MUST be perfect if christianity is to be true. i have seen passages where god's name is so holy, that if you used to misuse it, you'd be put to death. but god has also stated that his WORD is actually held ABOVE his name. so if messing with his name puts you to earthly death, guess what messing with his word, changing it, saying it's one thing, when it's not, leads you to? that's right; hell.

think about it; why would god create a perfect bible that only a select few would be able to read, knowing it's the word of god? why would he allow a perfect bible to degrade over time, while allowing so-called christians to continue to be born into this world? to mess with everybody else's spiritual lives at stake? if anything, this generation needs an uncorrupted bible even more than the one that existed during acts; they had disciples which had seen, touched and heard jesus face to face. what do we have in comparison? nothing much i'd say. except the bible if you believe in it.

i hope all you christians who read this seriously think about it.
