THERE IS THIS ONE REVIVAL AT LIVING WORD (REGGINA & MIRANDA ATTEND THERE) AND IT IS ALL THE TIME. THEY ARE LIKE AT CHURCH EVERYDAY UNTIL 10:30, NO JOKE. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT MY POINT WAS HERE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT I DISLIKE THAT CHURCH VERY MUCH. DANCING AND SHOUTING IS SOMEWHAT UNNECCESARY FOR SOME REASON... AND WALKING AROUND SHAKING STRANGER'S HANDS SEEMS TOO STRANGE.
AMY TOLD ME THAT THE BIBLE MAY HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED, BUT GOD WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CONTENT TO CHANGE. UM, SHE GAVE ME THIS SCENARIO WHERE I GUESS A SCRIPTURE WAS IN THE WATER FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND AFTER SOMEONE FOUND IT, IT WAS AS GOOD AS NEW. I ASKED WHERE THIS GUY WAS. SHE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS DEAD.
HOWEVER, I DID GET CHILLS WHEN I PASSED THE POLE THE OTHER DAY DURING SEE YOU AT THE POLE. THE MUSIC WAS TOUCHING. AND REALLY, THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION WOULD BE NICE WITHOUT THE PEOPLE PRACTICING IT. IT'S IDEAL, SOMEWHAT. JESUS, WHAT A GUY, REALLY...
SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS. UM. REGARDLESS, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS--I DOUBT YOU COULD GET THE SAME TRANSLATION FROM THEIR LANGUAGE TO OURS. YOU SEE?
SHE ALSO TOLD ME THERE WAS NO GOVERNMENT BACK THEN SO RELIGION COULDN'T BE A PRODUCT OF GOVERNMENT TRYING TO CONTROL US. RIGHT, BECAUSE JESUS WASN'T CRUCIFIED UNDER PONTIUS PILOT, NOW WAS HE?
the bible has been translated many times.. but the point is the same, and thats what matters. like different languages.
so many Christians are depressed because they live on earth. God is awesome. I am not. and plus, why doesnt anyone give Christians chances to lack hope? i mean Christians are people too. they get discouraged along with everyone else in the world. but they are held accountable and called hypocrites when then do normal things like get sad.
this post makes me sad. mainly because its true about a lot of people these days. all i have to say is taht most of the time, God is not the source of depression. He's the solution to getting over it.
beowulf is supposedly the oldest story ever. in the book, beowulf is a pagan, but because christians translated it, there are several parts in the book where he contradicts his characater and thanks God for all the gifts he's been given. christians changed the book to make it propaganda. i doubt that that is different than the bible, especially since early editions were handwritten, and monks could have put their own twist on it. and i don't understand why christians would be sad if life is supposed to be the greatest gift God gave them. wouldn't that be them not appreciating it? almost like a slap in the face to God? and i don't think they're hypocrites when they get sad. i think they're hypocrites when they have sex in the cemetary next door to church after the service is over. or if they take a party bus and get drunk on the way to prom and then wear shirts that say, 'i went to suchandsuch retreat and i got more than this lousy shirt'. or talking about messed up they got the previous weekend while wearing a shirt that says 'C.O.P.S
( ... )
I think that people need to develop their own relationship with god, whether it be through Christianity or not. Some people feel like to be spiritual they have to fit within a certain set of standards. I can't really explain, maybe you get it... but I think that's the secret to living successfully with religion.
