If you believe in Atheism that’s fine. If your belief is right and mine is wrong, I’ll still be okay. If mine is right and yours is wrong – well, for your sake, I hope you’re right.

Try to lighten up.

As far as being shameless goes, you’re right–we’re all shamelessly plugging ourselves on this site, by virtue of it containing each of our points of view.

Indeed, Jesus was radical, diametrically opposed to all of the social norms of his day–and many social norms of this day. After all, how many of us would consider hanging out with prostitutes and lepers? Selling everything we own to serve those who are in need? I’ll be the first to admit that I would struggle with that, even though I know it’s what I’m called to do.

In Jesus’ day, women weren’t even allowed to go inside the inner rooms of the temple. Their husbands went, learned God’s Word, and then taught it to their wives and children at home. Yet there was Jesus, not only teaching women regularly, but allowing them to play major roles in his ministry. And Christ chose Mary Magdelene to be the first witness of his resurrection, although the testimony of a woman wasn’t considered valid unless it was corroborated by a man.

I could go on, but I’ve said quite enough, and this isn’t my post (sorry, James!).

I think it’s hard for us, as finite human beings, to understand the eternal nature of God.

Blessings,

I have an issue with “Seven Deadly Sins” since I believe they no longer matter. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it! Cheers.
