Re: Lets try again

We are not bound or compelled to believe.

In Mark 16:16, Jesus is recorded as saying "He who does not believe will be condemned." What do you make of this statement?

I choose to believe, because I want it to be true.

What if someone chooses to believe there was a worldwide flood because they "want it to be true?" Is that reasonable? What if I choose to believe God wants me to have sex with your wife because I "want it to be true?" Is that reasonable?
