| God Spot This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome! |

Saturday, December 11, 2004 I believe .....#3Well I haven't been called a heretic yet; even for believing that Adam and Eve were not the only people on the earth and were representatvies of all.I will hold out for the 'plain meaning rule' in understanding the scripture, but knowing the setting, and the customs of the day are important too. Jainice raised: are people born sinful. No they are born innocent, but the propensity to sin in within all and sin begins with wanting, demanding, not considering others, egos. What do we do from an early age: we look after ourselves. Then we want nice things. We covet. And society tells us: if you want it charge it. Most people are considerably in debt. Ah and there are egos, egos in the church. People dressed up and glorious, leading services giving sermons, (where I can't ask questions), leading bible studies, organising, holding meetings, managing. Do we really know what we have to answer for on the final day. Why haven't church leaders brought about more amalgamations. A divided church wasn't meant to be. To the world it is an inefficient disgrace, with an enormous range of beliefs. Paul Barker once said that the next best thing he does to praying is talking to himself. I had already reached that idea, well I am 14 years older. We all need a dose of Zen from time to time. Finally some Gary "wisdom" be it the church or the football club, beware of anyone who has been doing it a long time. Gary # posted by Anonymous @ 11:25 am 0 comments
