"GRAVY FOR YOUR BRAIN!" – Conspiracy Theory (1997)
If your minister tells you “don’t question it”, then they are taking on the mantle of God.
(and that means the minister might not be on God’s team)
The Lord gave us freewill and a mind for a reason: USE THAT POWER
(throw in the Holy Spirit and discernment? – you’re cooking with gas)
I’m a Christian, I question everything – including my faith.
I think the Lord in Heaven smiled when Thomas stuck his hand in His Son’s wound …
I think he might have said: “they’re growing up”
“I don’t fear death, I fear that I’m already dead and this is HELL.” – Dr. Freckles
“Statism endures, in part, because of the heresy of Emperor Constantine.” – Dr. Freckles
“Jesus was engagement farming.” – Dr. Freckles
“There’s WAR-GOVT VS PEACE-LIBERTY, those are the sides.” – Dr. Freckles
We are forgiven and saved through Christ.
But he also expects us to live the Kingdom Life in each day – and it’s a little more complicated than just “don’t drink beer” or “smoke cigs” …
We need to dedicate our day to Jesus as disciples, spread the Word, act and do as Christ would, lead by example … not perfect, but Christian.
If a person spends their whole day on the internet, then that is also a limit, a control, a separation from Christ.
But meditate on the engineered loneliness, so “accidental” as a side-effect of modernity. I am not surprised people spend their day online … it’s as much of a connection they will get that whole day. Doesn’t make it good or bad, but it does call into question our ideas concerning community.
Any who – the Lord knows me better than any, especially YOU the random internet voyeur …
I await His judgment.
If you believe Trump represents Christian values? – good luck.
“You don’t need to ‘make peace’, you just have to turn off war.” – Dr. Freckles
“Eden seems like a boring place.” – Dr. Freckles
This IS the horrible truth, and it does NOT make you anti-Semitic to express it:
It comes down to the belief that only the JEWS have ever suffered … and if others have suffered, they haven’t suffered enough by comparison.
I believe this is FALSE.
and also
This is a toxic and non-empathetic perspective, and it is not a mystery that so many Israelis seem okay with the GAZA war crimes.
Does this mean God does not love the Children of Jacob? – NO!
God loves the Hebrew people deeply, as He loves any Christian disciple. But to say this means THEY have only ever suffered is to ignore both the Bible and wider history. You might say they were clever at creating their own suffering, but no more than others.
