"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world." What is the pattern of this world? Is there really a difference between the way people who don't know Jesus live, and the way that people who do know him live? Should there be? Of course there should. We shouldn't be focused on us and ourselves, but rather God and others, right?
Why is it ( Read more... )
Hmmm i have a lot to say about what you wrote so bear with me if you can be bothered reading! And i won't be offended if you don't agree with what i say ok?
"you have an acceptence for everybody just as they are, whether they believe as you do, or not. Don't you?" Well........ i hope so. But i have to be honest and say that i'm pretty judgemental sometimes, whether it's to people who believe the same things as i do or not. But yeah Jesus loves everyone, so i can't not, really.
What d'you think it means to choose to follow God? Is it about going to mass, or going to church to you? Coz i know from reading the Bible, that Jesus didn't care about that, really. In fact the people he was most angry with were the religious leaders who thought they knew it all, yet their hearts were far away from him.
"whilst someone chooses not to follow God, they may be perfectly happy with that decision." Hmmm. I think that people may think they're perfectly happy when they're not. I'm speaking from my experience here... it's like when i know that God is asking me to do something or not to do something and i choose to go my way because i think i'll be happier, i trick myself really into it. And if i sit and think about it really carefully, even though i got what i "wanted", i'm not happy. Coz i know that God's way is the best way, and i have to believe that for everyone. Does that make sense to you?
Have so much more to say, but i think i'll just leave it there... maybe just for now?
Really appreciate your comment, you don't know how much. =)
