       Contention three: “Every belief is confined to the person that professes the belief, and is therefore his or her own personal belief, but does not represent reality.” Again, this simply isn’t true. Under this type of thinking, if I were to die, then what I believe would die with me. That is, outside of my own mind, my beliefs aren’t true. But in reality, whether I am alive or not, Jesus Christ is God of the universe. The fact that Jesus is God is external from my own thinking. It is an absolute, physical truth of the universe. It is as true as the Sun in our solar system is real. It is as true as the earth is real, or as true as trees grow. A Christian has to think this way about things. To say what I believe is just personal to me is to dumb Christianity down and make it equal to all other beliefs in the world. But, of course, we as Christians know that is not true, and we demonstrate this by sharing the Gospel with people.
