What they believe is just something they picked out of their head
that they claim to believe. It has no foundation. They have no

idea if their belief even comes from the Bible for sure.

Without a foundation, we could find ourselves discussing that the

moon is made out of green cheese, and how it relates to
salvation. Without a foundation, calling something a belief is

NONSENSE, according to the United States Supreme Court.

The court said the Bible is a good foundation. It is objective,

reliable and trustworthy, according to the Court. If you can show
your belief comes from the Bible, and especially show them

where it is in the Bible, it is deemed a belief, and is protected by

the Constitution.

To have what you might call religious ‘beliefs,’ without some

authoritative foundation, is nonsense.

Now, as Christians, we must go deeper than this. We must look at

the context of a thing, making sure it fits the over-all revelation

of the Bible. This is the difference between inductive reasoning
and deductive reasoning.

Jesus says that with our faith we can move mountains. Pikes Peak

is 40 miles south of my home in Castle Pines, Colorado USA. Does

this mean I can literally pick Pikes Peak up and move it just

because Jesus says what he does and I believe I can?
