Martyrs were from a different time
Well that’s not true! I’m told that there are Muslim martyrs….
Anyway, certainly there are people who truly believe thought hard for an outsider to prove. Perhaps those people that give up their comfortable lives to become missionaries are showing true belief? I think a large number of those that call themselves followers of whatever faith do seem to blindly follow with little real understanding. This might be more obvious with those that are born into a religion in the sense that Catholics, Jews and Muslims are.
You can be Christian but not believe the Bible.
Well I think that’s a bit of a dodgy view but I can imagine there are people who call themselves Christian but more or less ignore the bible. More mainstream Christians might say they are not Christians if they don’t believe it but as long as they believe the key aspects of the bible then that’s all that matters I think. Possible Molgrips is saying that Christians don’t need to believe the entire bible in a literal sense.
