Questions

It seems like I've had a lot more questions about what it means to follow Jesus lately. I think there are many who would say that you shouldn't have questions about certain doctrines and traditions that have been around a while. After all, I sign a piece of paper every year stating that I agree to 16 fundamental truths and that I have done my best to preach them. To some, there is an end to believing and once you get there, there should be no more questions.

For example, I learned that the origin of the word virgin in Matthew actually comes from the book of Isaiah. In the Hebrew language at that time, the word virgin could mean several things. In the first century, being "born of a virgin" also referred to a child whose mother became pregnant the first time she had intercourse.

You see what I mean? These questions aren't "show stoppers" to my faith. They are just questions that help me morph into a more devoted follower of Christ.
