Just Want To Make Some Things Clear.

I was with my family shopping, when we encountered someone from an old church.  The conversation at one point turned to Dad's profession as a pastor (bivocationally).  

The lady asked, "Do you go [to his church]?"

I along with my brother was silent.  We hardly ever go to church, but for different reasons.  Besides, we work practically every day as custodians.

"You still believe, don't you?"

We all agreed.  I said, "Yeah, we believe." (I meant, we all believe in God and the basic facts of Christianity).

I then added, "...believe in the Bible."  (I meant, I believe what the Bible says, even the literal controversial teachings.)

I later clarified myself, saying with a quicker and slightly lower tone, "I believe in the Bible.", speaking for just myself.  I never explicitly said that my family didn't believe in the Bible.  I do have my doubts of this because I believe in the Bible more plainly and literally (similar to Fundamentalists but not precisely like them), and the rest of my family doesn't.  I'm not saying I'm better than my family.  I'm just saying that my SPECIFIC faith is in the "Bible", the Word of God.  I don't believe in any denomination.  I simply wish to take God at His Word, no matter how crazy it is.  

I don't know the extent of my family's belief in Christ, I've simply stopped automatically considering anyone, including myself, a believer simply because they say that are, for there are loads of false teachings in this world with the label of Christ. 

Why am I saying all of this?  I have taken a more plain and literal take on the Bible, and question everyone else who does not, because of my exposure to Darwin Fish and A True Church, who, not explicitly, drew me to search the Scriptures for myself.  I have yet to reconcile the notion of "God is a man" and the "two virgin births" teachings.  All that matters is that I can set aside everyone else's notion of what the Bible says and just read it for myself.  If we agree, great!  If not, I am not responsible on the Day of Judgment.

In conclusion, by simply getting my religion from the Bible and nowhere else, no one can say I relied on mere men, Darwin Fish included.  That, and I'd rather just speak for myself about my faith, because of that I am more sure.
