Unlike money it doesnt take repeated investments for years or lifetimes, although if one does that the reward will be beyond comprehension, but thats not required.

but how can you possibly measure rate of return on FAITH? especially when it almost is guaranteed to vary from individual to individual?

also i disagree with your view that repeated investments over years or a lifetime is not necessary. think of it this way, i learned basic addition and subtraction in kindergarten, if i don't reinvest (by using it, keeping the skills sharp), am i guaranteed to know how to do it when i'm 80 yrs old?

faith as i know it and as i believe is an investment that needs to be made continuously in order to remember the bible's teachings and live by them.
