Philip started a nice trend in his LJ, and I've been thinking a lot about the questions that he's raised. So from here on out, my LJ is going to still contain some random shit from my skull, but will be primarily dedicated to important concepts that I want my friends to discuss, learn, and discover all there is to find out based upon our little

P.S., though, I am a member of Jesus's "fan club." Were you tacitly saying that you have a problem with me, as a person, because of that?)
As for your point made in that last paragraph; you're darned right I feel that my beliefs are more correct than yours. Same way you feel yours are more correct than mine. As a matter of being, everyone adopts a belief set. No matter how that manifests itself, everyone believes something. And that given person will always feel their beliefs are correct, otherwise, they wouldn't choose that as their belief. As a point in general, the "oh, you feel that you're more right than me" is defunct.
Also, I feel you misinterpreted my... well, my interpretation, or at least the way I presented it. All I gather from the "crowns in heaven" passages is that I'm not gonna get anything for doing God's will on earth. Nothing. All I get is a pat on the back when I die, and, believe it or not, I don't really find myself wanting any more than that. You speak of these "crowns" as though they're some sort of motivations for me, or Christians in general. The Bible makes it clear that new believer or old when you die, all are equal in Christ. No person has "more" than anyone else in heaven.
And... I appreciate the compliment, I think, although I might have detected a touch of condescension. You know I'd love to be a "good man," but "in my standards," I am not.
That being said, and argument aside, I'd love to hang out some time. I haven't seen you in quite a while. Gimme a call, the cell still works ;).
