And The Argument Continues

In 2008, Armenian and Greek Orthodox (Christian) Monks fought (psychical fighting) over a service at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. It was over who had the right to occupy a space. There are six Christian churches that share control of the ancient church. Clashes are not uncommon but the confrontations rarely end up in violence. AND THE ARGUMENT CONTINUES.

Christianity has been argued on the American soil. It was argued in the framing of the US Constitution. Many argue (today) that American was founded as a Christian nation. According to Bill Flax, Forbes Magazine, “America wasn’t founded as a Christian nation and many of our beloved Forefathers sadly were not, yet America was largely comprised of Believers. Liberty allows us to worship freely or not at all per conscience. America was never meant to be the theocratic or homogenous religiously, but Christianity has always been indelible to our social fabric. The Founders, even non-believers, considered that a blessing.” (Was America Founded As A Christian Nation?: 2012) Even some major theologians (as quoted in the article) have the same contention that Bill Flax mentioned. AND THE ARGUMENT CONTINUES.

Can evil be done in the name of religion? Religious people can be mean and some are often evil. Standing on a street corner and screaming “murderer” is wrong. Any self respecting sinning Christian that does that is judging thy fellow man. If you fly a plane into a building to prove a religious point and commit suicide you are violating the laws of God or the translation of its Arabic word Allah. History has such examples of burning heretics over which Christian religious individuals felt was correct. Interrupting a funeral by calling the decedent horrible names to prove one’s political religious views is horribly judgmental and shows no respect or honor as mentioned in the Bible. Heretics come in all forms—Judaism, Christianity, and Islamic faiths because of the lack of intellectual knowledge in which man themselves stifle. AND THE ARGUMENT CONTINUES.

How far do religious people have to go to prove a point? What is and what are the religious sects trying to prove by violating the word of God in the name of their beliefs and religion? Improper behavior can turn off a person seeking the word of God.

As it stands right now, hundreds of thousands of Christians are lost because of their inability to follow the word God in a rational manner. Christ is the doctrine I have chosen to follow; which makes him the incarnate son of God and he died for our sins to save humanity. Other religions like Judaism or (true) Islam recognize Jesus in their religion as being a type of prophet but not like we Christian believe. AND THE ARGUMENT CONTINUES.

In America, we so chose to believe just about anything that anyone tells us without personally investigating to see if it is the truth. A deacon’s wife once told me that, “Everything the Republican Party printed was truthful and the Democratic Party only printed propaganda.” She was responding to a statement I had made from seeing something with my own eyes. What is the truth? Both Republican Party and the Democratic Party print words on paper for personal selfish reasons to help their candidate to get elected to a specific office. Millions of dollars have been used to hire people to print what is most appealing to the masses including using religion as a tool. AND THE ARGUMENT CONTINUES.   

It breaks my heart deeply and I am so sad when I think about what so many in our society have become which is closed minded and ignorant toward what is truth and what is real in our religion. We are truly not accepting the word of God and the works of Jesus simply as shown in the actions of so many. Our society would rather believe a lie than the truth. Our society would rather use parts of the words in the Bible to make a point and that point is made contradictory and incorrectly as means of justification. When will it end? AND THE ARGUMENT CONTINUES.

I respect your opinion, and I expect you to respect mine; but, you do not have to agree with my opinion. I urge you to investigate on your own and draw your own conclusion.

Keep in prayer Natalie Hightower who is a young high school lady fighting cancer; she is ill and is on antibiotics and breathing treatments to get her over infections; continue to pray for Roy Jennings and his family; he was injured in the Vulcan Plant explosion in Foley; pray for each other.

“How forcible are right words! But what does your arguing reprove?” (Job 6:25)

“Who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” (Hebrews 7:12)  

What are you going to do about all this? Change yourself first. It all begins with you!

God bless you all and keep you safely in His arms.
