#12. A Survey About Your Beliefs

What does it mean to have faith in Jesus? Would you have believed in Him 2000 years ago? If Jesus appeared today, would you believe it is Him? Do you accept on blind faith or are you from Missouri -- show me? Do you believe in miracles today or are people being fooled? Are you naive or are you a realist? Are you willing to adjust your beliefs when confronted with convincing evidence to the contrary? Or are you resistant to change regardless of any so-called evidence?

Answer these four propositions and then make a comment. Tell me what you have learned. Thanks!
