all of mankind is cursed with at least one thing: the exterior world. man has constantly sought to possess, destroy, tame, harvest, and control the rest of the world. one has to question how good for mankind this is. as much "progress" as we claim to have made the world is still a horrid place. no matter how much we try to lasso in this bronco we just end up hurting more than helping. as i have pondered on this i have come to a startling conclusion, even if we try to change and work with others and purify ourselves from this outlook, we won't be able to "fix" our current situation. let's say we stop all pollution and stop all the wars and the hate. we will still be at this point in time. the world and ourselves are already doomed to the inevitable death that claimed those that came before. there is really only one thing that can change that, although man will argue about this until the end of the world. i personally bank on the fact that Jesus has already saved us, we just have to claim that. some others believe something or someone else will save them from their doom and there are others still who think no one and nothing is coming to save us. i have one question for them, what do you base your morality on. what/who deems things right/wrong? if you say the government then we shouldn't fight other governments ans countries because they would believe the opposite of us and can't they be right? what about you? do you decide what's right and wrong? then why am i not bowing before you? what makes you so right and unadulterated? no matter what you chose your choice can be turned back on you unless you have a divine basis for your decisions and morality otherwise we are simply animals undeserving of society and group accomplishments. disagree or agree i want you to sound off in the comments below.
randomness: you keep using that word, i don't think it means what you think it means.

I love you and am personally glad we're moving as well. I feel stuck here and am looking forward to making another place our home and I feel like it might help me out of the rut I'm in. I'll try to encourage you and you try to encourage me. We'll be alright as long as we have Jesus...and we do, so we will.
Alright buddy! Way to go critical thinking ;) Jesus is the only person who can save or change us for the better. Right on the mark! We have to keep him as our hope because in this world things are not going to keep going as we wish, even if they do for a time. This life is tainted with the sins and bad choices we make. Even when we make those good choices, it can't ever undo those bad ones. Our lives are like stones thrown into a lake, in which anything we do, no matter how small, creates waves that effect everyone around us. That's why we have to cling so much to our Lord.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have other believers to help encourage us. Jesus didn't mean for our journey on this earth as His followers to be alone. That's why good friends and family who also follow Him are vital to our growth!
Love you man!
