Faith of Our Fathers (and Mothers)

Many of us finish life with what we have been handed at the beginning. Culture, expectations, ambitions, idiosyncracies or faith. It seemed like it worked for our parents. It should work for us too. Usually it will. In years past, children have been cautioned not to, "act above your raisin". Life is less complicated if you don't. Many topics could spring from the idea of staying within the framework of ones upbringing. Right now, I would like to concentrate on only one aspect of the way we were raised; faith.
First, let's use the definition of faith, at least in this present case, as: a religious belief system. At this time, there are reported to be over 38,000 Christian denominations. A denomination is: a group of religious congregations having its own organization and a distinctive faith. Even those groups who claim to not be a denomination, by this definition, are.
If either, or both, of our parents had a particular faith, the chances of our accepting that faith, (if we accepted any faith at all), would be greater than if they didn't have one. If they didn't have one, or at least weren't active in that faith, we may take up the faith of the local church that we were invited to by a friend or relative. If this happens in childhood it solidifies, especially if it is our parents faith, over the years to the point where it is the only acceptable truth. It becomes "Our" faith and a point of pride. We become immovable on this belief system regardless of whether or not we study deeply to see if it is Biblically correct. We take the verses that are bastions of our faith, (sometimes out of context), and fortify our position. There may be other verses which we don't understand or have questions about but, they are not important. We may even become religiously arrogant, knowing that we are "right". It becomes practically impossible to ever be open to the possibility of being "wrong".
There are truly devout people in all faiths. Some will live by that faith, a few will die for it. Most don't understand any other faith, (or care to for that matter). All faiths can't be right. Is any one faith wholly right? (I know, I know, yours is the right one). Are we willing to question "our" faith? Are we willing to be "wrong", (how about incorrect)? What if the faith of our fathers was not the truth? If you are not willing to examine "your" faith in the light of the scriptures, then this blog is not for you.
