Intellectual Suicide

Intellectual Suicide

“You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind” (Matthew 22:36-37). The problem with many people is that they seem to love God only with their hearts. The truth about Christ never gets to their minds. We’ve been given minds enabled by the Holy Spirit to know God, as well as hearts to love him and wills to choose him. We need to function in all three areas to have a full relationship with God and to glorify him. I don’t know how it is with you, but my heart can’t rejoice in what my mind has rejected. My heart and mind were created to work in harmony together. Never has anyone been called on to commit intellectual suicide by trusting Christ as Savior and Lord. —Josh McDowell

Hello. My mind has been extremely busy and eager to learn more about the evidence for Christianity.

As long as I read stuff from Evangelical apologists like McDowell, I thought that the truth of Christianity was obvious, that it stood to reason I had the truth.
But then I began reading also books from atheistic apologists and realized things are far from being easy.
Now I realize that both Christian and godless apologists can be extremely biased and I've become an agnostic.

But emotionally, my heart longs for the God revealed through Jesus of Nazareth, that's why I make the choice to hope on him, in the absence of convincing arguments against the truth of Christianity.

My blog is all about my honest reflections on many topics related to faith, science, doubts and the New Atheism.

I hope to bring a balanced view in very polarized discussions.

Lovely greetings from Europe.
