Sin

-



As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly. ( Proverbs 26:11)

It is true fools repeat their mistakes, fools continues to sin over and over again.
That's not new to us, that's not "headline news"
What strikes me is that the image of a dog returning to its vomit, eating it all up again makes us feel bad, makes us feel sick. God might have the same feeling seeing us going back doing it all over again. Sinning, making the same old bad mistakes over and over again. It hurt God, as our father.
Still God loves us, still God helps us,still God cares for us . Isn't that amazing!?

    I think you are being extremely judgmental. Further, I don't know who you are referring to as "fools." Am I the fool? Are you the fool? Are the Boston marathon bombers the fools? I'm not sure who the fool is. Possibly you are referring to all of human creation.

    I also have never heard of the "dog returning to its vomit" analogy.

    Instead I don't think humanity is a fool to itself and it does not eat up its own vomit. We are working together and sometimes things don't work out and people make mistakes. I make mistakes and I'm sure you do to. That is the beauty of life. We are allowed and able to make mistakes and God guides us to do what is best and right. Still, with God's guidance we are going to make more mistakes. No single human or creature is perfect. Even my computer makes mistakes, and it's a Mac.

    Further, I think you should regain a little more faith in humanity. We area all majestic in our own little way. We are also not fools but instead people who try to learn from our mistakes.

    Thanks for your comment I truly like it.

    It is true we do all sin, we do all make mistakes. You and I as well.

    It is not the sin or the mistakes that is the problem it is that we continue to do the same sin over and over again, as we never learn.

    God loves us even when we sin, but he is not happy about it. It must hurt to see his children sinning over and over again. But we are forgiven. Jesus died for all our sins mine as well.

    It doesn't mean I should go on sinning, If I truly love God if I truly have Jesus in my heart I will do my best to avoid the things God hate me to do.

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There...

Advent?

I've just now seen a debate program on Swedish TV, were they talked about should or should not when it comes to schools celebrating advent in churches. Some are against it some are for it. One of the guys against it said "it is not good, the children should not be forced to do this against their will. It is something they should do on their free time" "We are living in a secular society!" I agree with the priest that said" we have a secular government., We don't have a secular society since we are the society and I and many others are Christian believers." Very true. The society is US and I and very many others want to continue to go to church, sing advent songs, bless the children and be very proud and grateful that we are living in a "society" were we have the right to go to church. Live out your Christian faith! God bless you all.

Miracles

Do you believe in miracles? That's a question I got the other day from a colleague. Yes I do believe in miracles. I in a way had the experience once . I know many are waiting for a miracle to happen. It can be a lot of things: Get that job you so desperately want, get well from a sickness, get that call from a family member you been loosing track of, many many things. God hears you, God works all the time, God helps you but he does that in HIS time. I believe in miracles, I want miracles to happen, but miracles require one thing! It requires you to be in a so to say desperate state. When God do miracles to us we are in great need. I love miracles do doubt about it, but I do prefer to live with blessings. Do be blessed all the time. To understand what He does to me. It is great to have a miracle recovering from a severe sickness, but it is a blessing to live day by day with good health.. I once heard a preacher said: It’s always better to avoid problems, whi...
