Need help !!
Dear sir ........
English is not my first language, please bear over with me for any errors...
I was brought up in a christian home ..... but later on, I sort of lost my faith .. due to my scientifical education as a MD .... I guess you could say, that I started to cling to science without having much faith ......
I am getting older now , and I really would like to fill a vacuum in my mind , so I started reading the Bible again . and I plan to go to the holy land in march 2010 ... see Jerusalem.. visit the Holy Sepulchre, Genesareth lake, Dead Sea , river Jordan where the Lord was baptisted and some of the monestaries there and of course Bethlehem ........
However ,when I read the Bible , many passages in it confuse me ..... and sometimes I feel tempted to only believe in parts of the Bible ........and not believe some parts of it ....
I have no problems at all, believing in the teaching of Jesus ... and I cling to that .... but some parts of the old testament and some small parts of the new testament including the acts , make me disbelieve those parts ........ or at least strongly question my concept of God and some of the Apostles ........
Is it a sin , to only believe part of the Bible ???
I could give examples - quoting the Bible - if you so wish .....
I have wrestled with those question for some years now .... it wears me down .......
