Assumptions

Lately I have been struggling with my assumptions about faith. Many times we align our faith with various “ism’s”. Calvinism, denominationalism, various millenialisms, etc.

As I get older and maybe wiser, I’ve discovered that some of the ism’s have little or no direct biblical support. In fact, some of the ism’s I took for granted in my traditional Baptist religious upbringing have proven to be wrong. I’ve searched the Bible and found those ism’s to be non-biblical.

I don’t write this to pick a fight with those who identify themselves with the ism’s even the one’s I find lacking biblical support. You may notice I haven’t identified the ones I find suspect. I do hope that you challenge your assumptions about your faith and see where it squares with the Bible.

What is it you hold fast to? Is it biblical?

Shalom,
