Controversy

So my last post "Judas" could definitely offend some people.

But it really should not.

Why not?! Someone may ask. It's not right!
Judas is in Hell!
That's what the bible says!... That's what my church says! ... That's what my heart says...


And that is what you believe.
Some religions or religious people are obsessed with the condemnation of others with different beliefs.

That is not right.
Let God judge.

Everyone thinks their own beliefs are right, otherwise they wouldn't think them.
So how can you, you who is so sure of yourself, tell someone else, who may also be just as sure, that they are wrong?

There really is no way to know who is right.
You can feel that your beliefs are right in your own heart, and that is so wonderful.
But that doesn't make it the right for someone else.

Every religion has 'experiences' that provide proof for its followers.
Every group has seen miracles.

The natural world works because of it's complex diversity.
Couldn't the world of humans work the same?

God made us different. God put us through different things.
Why would we come out with the same beliefs on the other side?


Thanks for reading
thoughts?

  1. Don't see why anyone could be offended by your last post. Can't remember whether I made a comment. It would have been spot on (again). Ever since I was a kid I thought Judas was a bit hard done to. His action lead to GOOD Friday and the resurrection. If it was Good how can an action that leads to that be so condemned for 2000 years. Ignore the self righteous. Some people think just because they invite Jesus to live inside them they become God.
    You are a cool person and I enjoy your blog keep it up no matter how many it offends.

    psI'm going to post now on a slightly similar subject. Thanks for the inspiration.
