My last post has been online for quite a while now. The reason why I have not posted anything lately is because I have changed my mind on what I wrote about. I wanted my next post to explain how and why this change came about. Several people that I would consider "wise" men and women have read my last post. These people have brought to my attention some interesting points. Some of these points, opinions, and biblical referrences actually contridicted my view a bit. I still hold true to my opinion on many levels but I have examined my writing and need to voice how God continues to help me grow. In my last post I spoke about my opinion on how I do not think christians need to constantly defend the bible and their beliefs. This statement I made is not all the way true. There are two differant situations a christian is going to have his or her beliefs challenged. My opinion in my previous post holds true when the challenger is not seeking sincere information. Basicly when a person is just trying to peck a fight or get you riled up then its time to hush up and be the bigger person. In this situation no matter what you say or try prove is not going to change the challengers attitude. However, if a person comes to you with questions seeking sincere spiritual information or advice then IT IS a christians job to help guide them. It should be very easy to tell the differance between the two situations. I want people who read this to know that all of these are my opinions only. I love posting a public journal, but I don't want my thoughts to be a stumbling block to anyones growth in Christ. I try and live a life that Christ would be proud of, but I fall short very often. I want people to understand I am a growing christian man who is far from calling himself a godley man. I encourage everyone to get into God's word whenever possible and form your own beliefs that you feel confident in and be able to explain why you are confident in that belief. But always be aware of what situation your in. Explainging yourself to provide information, or explaining for defense. Thanks for reading this and feel free to comment whenever you want.
