What’s next mein kampf or the little red book? The insane are being allowed to rule the world. . .
Just my small thoughts on all this mundane arguing.
We are mere humans, sinful, subject to all the deadly sins, and we create churches, sects, and religions, with human notions and rules about what we should believe, and who we should disdain.
We are so silly to believe that we know God, and how to interpret His desires/rules for us. We are mere humans, and we can only see through a glass, darkly.
We only need to know that God gave his only begotten Son to die for our sins, and that we are not worthy of that sacrifice, and we never will be. It is only by our faith, and our hope that we can daily do a bit better than our sinful yesterday, that we can be saved.
It doesn’t matter which denomination we attend. God has told us that His house has many mansions. It does matter that we do our best to love and forgive each other for our sins, trespasses, and failures to live up to the ideals expressed in the Sermon on the Mount.
It matters that we keep the faith in the straight and narrow path, and continually try to find our way to that, and not let ourselves go for the easy wide one.
It is so tempting to change/twist scripture to fit our fallen selves, so we can feel smug/good, rather than to realize how selfish, ego-driven, proud, slothful, petty, envious, etc, we all actually are.
Yeah, I know - you all think you are “without sin among us”. Well, I am not, and I weep every day that I can’t measure up. But, I have faith and hope that His sacrifice, which I do not deserve, will save me,
