This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

today was a rejoicing day. it was beautiful. it was productive. it had people. but moreover it had God. i think that i tend to forget God in my days. it was one of those days that i just wanted to sit outside and look around at creation and marvel. i listened to james ( Read more... )

Wow...Really? anonymous April 8 2006, 00:42:40 UTC

Wow, I wonder why so many people see Christians as pressing their faith on others....posting a livejournal about how people should strive to do what you're doing and "be like god" is REALLY helping the stereotype. In essence, we can never "be like god." If you know anything about christianity, you are supposed to know that God is said to be perfect, so saying you are trying to be like him is actually conceited. While I'm not arguing the point of trying to be more generous to those around us, I still don't think people should be made to feel as if they can never reach this goal unless they go on a "christian walk." Terms such as this ("journey for the lord" or "trip with jesus") demean the Christian faith. It is my personal belief that each person should focus on their individual relationship with God, and a true religious experience cannot come at the hands of Acquire the Fire, or Pilgrimmage.

I'm really not trying to get in the middle of a debate or anything because I feel that everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I would just like to respond to your comment ( ... )
