Just Thinking

You all know that I am hardcore Christian. I truly love Jesus with all of my heart, all of my soul, all of my mind, and all of my strength. I believe that you can look to one place and find the truth, the answers to your problems. HOWEVER, I am NOT the type of Christian to sit and judge people and be narrow minded.I think that people take advantage of that, and in turn attempt to judge me. But that's beside the point. I believe that to live up to the true meaning of being a Christian, one must cast away the human desire to judge others and look at other ppl's sins. We have to understand that in God's eyes, all sins are equal. Murder is equivalent to a white lie. There, I said it, and I really don't care if anyone gets upset. God's not going to say to you on judgement day, oh, you stole that piece of gum, but you didn't prostitute yourself (and then proceed to give you a pat on the back). Um, no. There's going to be hell to pay for either sin (crying, embarrassment, and pure shame).

Then, there's a lot of things that I don't agree with when it comes to fundamentalists/ traditionalists. Now I know why confused sheep and I will never be meant to be. He completely is against abortion! Yes, I think that abortion is wrong, but to a freakin extent! Ppl don't seem to understand that there can be exceptions to the rule. What if a woman has been raped? Why should she be forced to keep that child when looking into his/her face will remind her of that terrible trauma, perhaps even causing her more damage? Why should a woman be punished if medically, she has to have an abortion, because if she carried the baby through the full term, she would definitely risk both their lives? Next, I'm sure that he's going to say that EC is completely wrong. Or that birth control pills are sinful. Oh no, the worst: that sex is purely for procreation. Um, Song of Songs can cure you of that (I like to take it in the literal sense, hahaha). But most of all, the point is, that God gave us all free-will. A CHOICE. We choose to do the right or wrong thing. Just let people choose. Yes, in the end, I believe that ppl are predetermined to have eternal life, but in the meantime, STILL just let ppl choose.
