I Believe In The Bible

When criticized for believing in the Bible, and putting my faith in text which has lasted over 3 millennia sometimes I can be taken aback by the slights and disrespect which can come from those who aren't of a faith based mentality.

We see more and more atheism and counter culture pushing an anti-religion with a vengeful fervor. There is this lack of respect for anything sacred. They blasphemy and speak the and of Jesus, as if it were cussing. Not to mention, the disdain. There is a frightfully abrasive disdain for those who believe that homosexuality is a sin, or who look out for the poor and helpless. More so injuring is the person who claims to be Christian, but does not walk the walk. Much of the rage against those who are seen and called the Christian Right is the attributed to the deceit from those professing to be righteous, but acting in opposition the Jesus' teachings, and The Way.

2 Thessalonians 2: 13-17 NCV
13 Brothers and sisters, whom the Lord loves, God chose you from the beginning 14 God used the Good News that we preached to call you to be saved so you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So, brothers and sisters, stand strong and continue to believe the teachings we gave you in our speaking and in our letter.
16-17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father encourage you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. God loved us, and through his grace he gave us a good hope and encouragement that continues forever.

Not Congruent: A Response to FB Red Equal Symbol Marriage Equality Profile Picture Protest

Some good points on redefining marriage. I saw everyone changing their FB picture to the red equal symbol, and so I decided to change mine to the "not congruent" symbol. I used white text in a slate black field. http://s3.amazonaws.com/thf_media/2013/pdf/bg2775.pdf

Faith: Small As A Mustard Seed

Matthew 17: 16-21 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him." 17 And Jesus answered, "O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me." 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" 20 He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

12 Tribes Means Different Inter-connective Ways To Be Christ-like.

i had a kind of realization today that God works through people. And rather than having monocultures, or having people all act the same, all grasping onto the same way of doing things, the Almighty is at work through many different ways in everyone's life. We have to come to terms with His love in our own time, and in our own way, but there were 12 tribes for a reason, and each disciple was very different in his and her personality, persona and each had a different relationship with Jesus. i think today i realized that we aren't going to fully understand the interconnectivity of it all, until ultimately we get it explained to us in heaven. What can i do with this information? And how much of an epiphany is this anyway. Well, it gives me the power to forgive with an incredible amount of energy because i don't need to figure out what the other person is working on or how God is working within their life.
