Fatherhood
If you're reading this, you might need to pretend the following information comes on the supposition that Christianity is realistic as a theory about the universe.
There's something I'm not getting.
Christ came into the world,
Chosen by God
To perform God's will
Dying on the cross
Like a ritualistic sacrifice
To fulfill God's prophecy
That would make all mankind
Able to enter Heaven
And become God's again
As it was meant to be
When God created Adam and Eve
In the garden of Eden
To be God's
And to accept and love God
And to live with God.
Is divine theory like witchcraft?
A ritual sacrifice
To promise a new fate
With a certain ending
Like cutting a lamb
To have a king fated to die.
Like burning a certain candle on a certain pedestal
To have luck entering a man's bed tomorrow
Does God practice witchcraft
Is God a witch
And is witchcraft the devil
Because it's arrogant to try to do God's power as a mere mortal?
Like the devil challenging God in Heaven before the war-inspiring fall?
I think every religion is worth hearing out, there's going to be something deep to it.
But, maybe, God, witchcraft and Devil-worship are all in the same boat for a reality. It's arguable, even if I I'm wrong, I can totally pose arguments. I kind of love it.
What I don't get though
What's Christ's relationship to God?
Catholics and most Christians say the Christ was either
the direct son of God, made by God alone
or God embodied as a human, directly coming from God
While then there's the muslims
Saying Christ was a prophet and was accepted as seeing God with wisdom...
I'm not sure how to interpret it yet,
But, in certainty, Christ was chosen by God, or represented God
In life, before being put to the cross...
So it seems certain that practicing the following of Christ
Is practicing following God's will
And will make us as God's will
That we might be saved
And be fit, being of God's will
For God's kingdom, and God's plan for us.
We'll mold into the pieces of the puzzle that is what God means our world to be
By pursuing in Christ and believing in Christ's example.
It scares me to think of losing what I am to God's will.
And my idea of perfection is not like what God showed in Christ
My idea of paradise is not like God's promise of eternal life.
As a faithfully practicing Christian, with love for my fellow man...
I find myself baffled with what to do.
What does it take to find peace through God in these conditions?
--- personal thoughts, comments welcome, criticism and arguments probably won't help much, but insight, opinion and personally-relevant quotes might offer direction to my thoughts. I will respond to criticism and arguments and try to gleam from them what I can, but the headache might not be worth it. Please refrain from negativity and toxic responses for the sake of how sensitive I currently am in trying to contest with God's vision for me, while trying to also obey God's will out of love for God.
