The virtual believer

Justified by Faith

It does not matter what is true in the larger context.  There is not enough proof to verify truth by itself, only if it satisfies the believer. It is only in the individual is there found any place where the truth can possibly purely exist. That is because the truth exists only in what one believes.

We have to actually believe it. Jesus said if one had enough belief then they could move a mountain into the sea. Many, what I would call solid Bible believing Christians, believe Jesus was speaking metaphorically. In other words, symbolically speaking the truth. 

This might be called virtual truth. It is like virtual money they speak of in the markets today. 

It represents money, but not real money, rather 

almost
like real money. So it is, when a Bible story is hard to believe then it is either unbelievable or only true as the meaning of truth. Sort of like virtual money, is it not?

Anything hard to believe requires very great belief. Many Christians believe whatever is easy to believe. Some believe anything they can prove is true, the easy to believe truth.
