Wondering

-



I meet rather often people from different backgrounds, sex and ages, who all are for the freedom of speech


They stand up for people who have different opinions, thoughts and Ideas.


When I then say to these people that I believe in Jesus Christ, that he died on the cross for our sins, they cant really cope with that.
They start arguing, question me, in a very aggresive way.

They start joking and asks me silly questions.
I then wonder, Why do they suddenly change their opinion, tolerating another opinion?


Jesus words are true, they cut like a hot knife in butter,perhaps thats why!?

Jesus himself said:
And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Mark 13:13)

Amen!

    I think it is very hard for some people to believe in a higher being or power, especially Christianity.

    I went to a Catholic high school, a Catholic college, and now I'm attending a Catholic graduate school. Not because my family believes in a God or gods, but because I think I'm getting a better education.

    So in having over 9 years of Catholic education, I understand the points of Catholicism, still, I cannot find myself to believe in a higher power. I don't think the Bible directly applies to present day life. Also, I find more harm comes from believing in a God then good.

    Did you hear about the recent Bishop that was excommunicated for spending over 40 million dollars of church money on luxury unnecessary updates. I recently read it in the New York Times. I find that funny. So funny. I find more good in people who are good just to be good, then for people who believe in a higher power and that is why they are good. I have been able to witness more corruption in the Catholic church then in any other higher, non-governmental institution.

    If Jesus will save the Bishop for wasting people's money, when it could go to helping people, then I'm sure he can save a non-believer like myself. If there isn't a God, then it's a win-win for me.

      Just to believe in God doesn't make you good.
      There are many people all over the planet that are evil.

      Jesus did not just die for Christians, He died to redeem, reconcile, and ultimately save all mankind.

      God loves everybody, He understands everybody, and He has a covenant with everybody , whether they know it or not.

      Every human being is and was created in the image and likeness of God.

      What is very important for us Christians is to create a personal relationship with God. When we truly repent, believe and create this relationship, when we have Christ living in our heart we don't want to sin, we don't want to do harm. Yes still we see evil things happening, still we see "church folks" do evil, but you know,

      In Gods love is also Gods judgement. In Love is also boundaries.

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...
