Subject: RE: BS: Another View of Religion
I personally have no doubts in my Faith. The way I came to know God/Jesus/Holy Spirit left me in no doubt and where I am happy to tell anyone about my experience I don't believe I have the right to try to push them toward that belief. However, because of the way I live my life in line with the New Testament of God in the Bible.... people ask why I am different... and I tell them. Others have come to a knowledge of the Trinity as a result of this and that pleases me...... There are some on here who perhaps are unable to understand that someone can have a relationship with the living Christ and would criticise me for talking with that imaginary friend.. there are perhaps those who think I could better spend my time not reading my Bible or praying. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions/choices/followings... I am comfortable enough with mine not to worry about criticism from anywhere or anyone. That is not arrogance by the way, that is confidence. I have something in my life which I wish all others could have........ When I first entered "Mudcat Cafe' I was highly criticised for putting "Be Blessed' at the end of each post.... I now sign off with Best wishes. If people are not happy with what I say/do.. then I have to assess whether it is correct for me to change or to hold my position in line with my belief. I try hard not to offend or appear too forceful but I sometimes make mistakes ... in my belief "We all fall short of the Glory of God" and every Christian makes mistakes and maybe sometimes chooses to take the wrong path. We then have to go about trying to make things right..... not always successfully.
Best wishes, Mike.
