Hey so I started this whole new blog, for this whole new person I think I am becoming. It's called "seansgod.blogspot.com" Pretty simple. Well, the title is "Tell me All Your Thoughts on God". Anyways, if you can't figure it out already, I have become Christ. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, but even more than that, I have dedicated my life to Christ, everything that is EVER mine, any of my actions, my thoughts, my stuff, they belong to God and Christ to tell me what to do with it.
That's a LOADED statement, believe me, I know. It involves a few pressuppositions. First one that comes to mind is that I think God has talked to me, is talking to me, and will talk to me in my life, as long as I continue to listen. My new blog will deal with that concept.
Another one is that I have to express what I mean when I say I believe Jesus Christ died for my sins on the Cross, some 2000- years ago. Fact? Fiction? Folk tale? Fable? Made-up story? My new blog will also discuss this.
Another is that I have express how being "Christian", or at least, following Jesus, is so distinctly different from any other religion. The idea of it being a story that we accept, which is sprinkled with instructions on how to live life, as opposed to instructions on how to live life, sprinkled with story illustrating those instructions. The new blog will try to go into this more.
Another is that I have to fully express my conviction that this world we live in, it is Broken, or wrong, or something's just not right! That will be delved into.
Another is that I have to find out how deeply self-defeating, selfish, and egotistical I was and am.
Another is that I have to explore the idea of sin, sinners, etc.
How did I deal with the idea that my faith now demands of me to hate Gays, look down on abortion, and take so many different stances definitively? (Hope you note the sarcasm)
What about the other religions of the world?
What have I to say to those who knew me when i was questioning broadly the veracity of Christian thought?
Conversion?
Evangelism?
Other world views being valid?
Mind shift?
Lensshift?Godandpainandheavenandhellandsolvingallofmyproblems?
I want to express all of this! I must. So I set forth, as God would have me do, and embark to make this clear in my new blog. Please join me. And question me. And press me. And challenge me. And make me feel horrible. And all that.
Love you. All.
