The following post is MY response to the below linked blog. http://karensconversations.blogspot.com/2008/07/heart-of-matter.html
Quite frankly over time I think, especially reading your blog, people understand your heart better than you do. From the readers perspective you seem to feel that you have some better insight into the mind of god than they do. Holier than thou would be a fitting term.
People are entitled to their opinions-especially on subjects such as religion. I’d like to say YES I am a sinner, I know this and I accept this. Somehow believing that Jesus is a savior is going to make all your sins ok amounts to an ostrich sticking their head in the sand. “It’s ok if I murder my children-I believe that Jesus is the savior and my sins have been forgiven.” You cannot pick and choose bits of faith to suit you. In your opinion it’s all or nothing.
Is it even possible for you to have a thought or a theological conversation where you don’t spout off your faith as if it’s a script, that you don’t so much believe as recite for fear of the ultimate spanking? Hell? How can you explain that texts OLDER than the bible have the same basic stories-different and multiple gods yet the stories they have as their faith and so much similar. It’s impossible to even acknowledge that you COULD be wrong, that your religion could be the result of yet another group trying to explain the world before science so they ripped off bits and pieces of some other faith and put it together. I guess you’ve never played the telephone game have you…stories told over and over before written text is changed.
The book you put so much faith in was written by these evil sinners. It is sheer ignorance to ignore the fact that this book has been translated over and over and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to change every phrase from one language to another w/o the meaning changing slightly-intentionally or unintentionally. Again you seem to agree that people are evil and sinful yet the ones who ‘wrote’ the bible, some how they were not sinners. We’re all evil sinners…sell out Jesus for 30 pieces of silver but oh no the rest of them who wrote the bible we’re honest and godly enough to tell the truth, to tell what was really said to them by angels (or their own mentally unstable self serving minds)
What if I am wrong..then that comes down to an unanswerable question. Fate or freewill. God is all know so he would know what my choice will ultimately be, sure you say that I have the CHOICE to do such and such but the fact that he knows contradicts that choice. I cannot choose to do the opposite of what he already knows so there is no choice for me. With THAT perspective god made me this way, he knows me and he already knows where I’ll end up.
What a shame that the person who donates blood to save a dying child would be going to hell because he’s Buddist. Or the mother who sacrifices her life to save her child but she’s a pagan…straight to hell. Yes there is your loving and just god.
If I speak to god for no other reason….God please save me from your followers.
And YES I can go more than an hour without an evil thought, not because I’m better than you but because I don’t have as much hate in my heart as the average ‘loving’ Christian. That is all, good bye I will no longer leave comments OR read this blog.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF
