I've decided to join the blogger site. While it may be slightly arrogant to post ones thoughts on the net I will say this in the defense of anything stupid, uninformed, misguided ect. that I post. This blog is for me and my enjoyment. I like it. If you do not like it. I still like you and hope you do not know where i live.
I got a "christian" chain letter and it bothered me. I am a Christian, and at first I thought it was cool, until I got to the end and it said something like this. "Jesus said, 'whoever denies me before men will be denied by the father' if you love God, repost this within 24 hours, and I will see you in heaven." something about it didn't sit right with me, but I didn't know how to address it. When I read a later post I decided a little sarcasm was best.
Hey guys, I have some bad news. I received a bulletin the other day that said that if I don't repost it, I don't love God, and if I don't love God, I'm obviously not going to heaven. I totally meant to reply, but forgot to, and when I went back the next day, it was gone, so I guess I missed my chance. I've totally screwed myself over, and I'm sorry to disappoint you all who replied, and were expecting to see me in heaven, but I'm not going because I didn't repost the bulleting. Oops...sorry God.
When I read that I genuinely "lol". I think Romans 9 says it best.
"And Israel, who seemed so interested in reading and talking about what God was doing, missed it. How could they miss it? Because instead of trusting God, they took over. They were absorbed in what they themselves were doing. They were so absorbed in their "God projects" that they didn't notice God right in front of them, like a huge rock in the middle of the road. And so they stumbled into him and went sprawling."
