| Answer me this, if you can. Do you like God?
I don't like him. But I still love Him. It's interesting how different people's perception and experience of God is.
God is Good. God is also Love... His Love frightens me.

| I figured its time for an update.
My last post was supremely depressing - things have improved greatly since then... or maybe I've just become use to all the stuff that happens. It's easter now, and being easter it's made me think about the things which really matter - God.
I know everyone perceives their relationship with God very differently - some people when they just think about God they jump for joy and can't hold back their emotion... others are more subdued... but with me, when I think of God I am gripped by a great burden of responsibility - that God has placed much in my hands and when he comes - He's really gonna tell me off for not doing everything I could have.
I talk to people about what they believe in, God, the word and I don't mean to sound arrogant but I wonder if they've thought about anything they believe in. Take for example this - I was talking to someone about creation. Now normally I really avoid this topic because people usually just say that its typical for a scientist to take the non literal view and that I'm really a heretic who needs to be enlightened...etc...But this guy... was... really... really.... wrong.
He argued that creation had to be literal (literal interpretation of Genesis account) - that we can't interpret the days in Genesis anything other than the literal 24 hour period - that is the rotation of the earth on its axis - orbiting the sun - thats a quote. "oh really... considering the sun was created on day 4... I really don't know what the earth was rotating around...and so how was he interpreting the day? is he taking the genre of Genesis into account?" was my thought.... But I held my tongue.
Another thing he said which really bothered me was the arguments he put forth "proving" that God existed - the "first cause" argument. "hmm.... 400 years old, set out by Thomas Aquinas, first cause argument was dismantled a long time ago..." Then came the final clincher...he said that the Genesis account is supported by the big bang theory that when God said let there be light, that represented the big bang..."r u kidding me... so you use science when it suits you, yet you reject it when contradicts your beliefs? and big bang supports Genesis? r u kidding me!?!?
I really don't know what to do in situations like that. I know I need to be humble ... but I really struggle to stay quiet...Any bits of advice anyone??
but I really don't know what to think when people say stuff like that. It just makes Christians look more stupid and more ignorant of the facts, no I'm not talking about the facts of science, because that isn't fact, but the facts of what the bible says - I'm not talking about interpretation, I'm talking about simply what it says. If it says heaven and Earth existed before God created Light, and if you interpret the Genesis creation account literally, then you need to believe that the Earth is the oldest object in the universe... etc...
If you believe in the literal interpretation of Genesis then thats fine with me, our salvation doesn't depend on such things. At least I guess in the end the truth of everything and something we can all agree on lies within the historical figure of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior - that he lived... died and most importantly rose again from the dead - and thats something I will NEVER stop standing up for and never keep quiet about.
Thank you God for sending Christ, so my freedom has been bought... Help me to live a life, always striving to be worthy. AMEN.
