PRAY FO ME

Oct 02, 2006 06:26

i'm meeting with Arkell tonight...pray for me. i'm afraid of forgetting what i need to say, and i am also afraid that i will speak as an accuser rather than in love, which is what i am supposed to be doing. if i don't speak in love this afternoon, i don't think God will have His say in me and i will amount to nothing more than a resounding gong or ( Read more... )

A church like that wouldn't make me feel guilty as much as it would inspire me to help them out too! It sounds like a great church to be a part of, and with people like that, it is surely a great place to serve God.

And really, is there anyone you can ask questions to that can provide you with absolute truth and not just opinion? (And nobody reply to this saying "God", because that's not what I mean) Someone's opinion can be firmly based upon the truths they do know of in the Bible, and pastors spend all sorts of time studying those truths in College, so even though they still have opinions, I think their opinions should be more justified than that of a random person, such as myself!

I know of that "pat" answer, but I never liked it, haha.

I won't beat around the bush, I think that saying makes it seem like looking for any thorough explanation or answer to why God does something the way He does is "making it complicated" and we should just take what we are given in the Bible and go with it, even if it doesn't make sense to us, because that's what a child-like faith would be like. A child wouldn't even think about whether it made sense to them or not, they would just accept it because children are trusting in nature.

I dunno, maybe that sounds like a good thing to some people, but I don't like it, I feel like I'm just supposed to blindly accept things when I feel like I want concrete answers, not things that scholars will debate about for centuries.
