      Half-right just isn't good enough when it comes to serious stuff.
      Yes I'm as sure as I think I am about those things.
      
      Hi Jerami.  I'm pretty sleepy, reason that may sound abrupt.  I'm just convinced totally.  I gave up being lukewarm a long time ago after I saw its consequences.

            Well, IF I know Jerami like I think I know him, he's talkin' about those deep subjects like Faith, religion, and other life-or-death issues.
            
            But then, I could be half-right about that......

                        That isn't the problem, share implies its a wanted commodity. When its not wanted let it go.

                                 God repeated lots of things time after time to His children, and to everyone, actually.   We humans are prone to stubbornness and not hearing things the first time around.  If He sees the worth in reminders and exhortation, there must BE worth in it.

      hello Jerami. you are half right. if you believe strongly enough that what you believe is the truth...then you should not have to argue about it...because arguing usually means you are defending...and where belief goes, if you feel defensive about it you must not believe completely that you are right.
      the half you are wrong about is like Brenda says...when something is as serious as the future of your soul...and obedience to GOD...half measures dont cut it.
      
      i dont like getting into arguments where my beliefs are concerned because i fully believe i am right and i also believe if someone wants to argue with me about it they have no desire to learn so continuing is pointless, though sometimes i am dragged into an argument and when i find myself thus i will quit, even if it makes me look like the loser. people will believe what they choose to...and people who have strong convictions, whether for GOD or against HIM...are rarely persuaded to change them. This is why no one can come to JESUS without GOD having called them. and still not all who are called accept.

      I personally believe that everyone is about 50% correct in their beliefs.

         I guess this is true concerning religion as well.
      
        I don't know if all/any "Religion" is inspired by God or not.
