I've always been a Christain, and I've always belived in God. However, I'm starting to lose faith in Jesus Christ. It's just too much. I know there are scientific theories that coincide with the Bible, but many of them are flawed, and show a lack of understanding. Historically, things don't add up either. I remember in history class, learning that the pyramids were built thousands of years before the hebrews existed, and there is no record of infantcide; What about evolution, dinosaurs... none of it adds up anymore.
I am Catholic. I will always belive in God. I will always be Christian; however, I'm starting to feel more liberal about the Bible; I'm starting to belive it's nothing more than a bunch of stories.
I know God created the universe, and I know Heaven or Hell is at the end of it all, but I'm just not sure about Jesus. This is why I need guidence; are there even others like me?

Hello again
Yes, Satan didn't write the bible or create the stars but he does know the bible and what believing in it and in Jesus can bring to people. He also knows that today, with so many scientists and with more and more people with the ability to go to school and dig deep into science, it is harder and harder for people to just "believe". Also he (Satan) worked through the people that wrote all those legends and myths about Horus and the other so called Gods which do not exist. Remember that, if you believe the bible and you believe in God as you say, then you believe that the oldest person that ever existed is Jehovah. He existed before the Egyptians and the Incas, bhudism and hinduism, etc. He's been around for a long, long, loooong time! The old testament talkes and prophysies about Jesus and He is the fulfillment of the prophecy and law. You can't be a "Christian" without believing the "Christ" which is Jesus. I would sugest that you really spend some time in prayer about this! It sounds to me like these lies are already starting to create doubt and unbilief in your heart and this is EXACTLY what satan wants to do. Remember the word says that no one will go to the Father except through Jesus. There really is no way around that since by believeing in Jehovah alone you can not be saved. Jesus paid the price and atoned for your sins. Without Him you can not enter the gates of Heaven, no matter how much you believe in Jehovah or how "good" you are
