| Ok Shaun - you and Stew need to chat and agree: You say you want to do away with religion totally "And the problem with that is WHAT exactly? Of all the things a human being can possess, a religious belief is by far the most unnecessary." So you agree secularists want to do away with religion totally eventually? After all, that is secularism's logical conclusion. You say "I see your postings on here and your almost Asperger's like obsession with this utterly mythical 'son of god' character you keep banging on about and I wonder, has it not occurred to you to get a life rather than a religion? " Yes - I would agree that I am obsessed by Jesus Christ. My faith in Him is not just a crutch - that would be a massive understatement! He is my all - the cause of my purpose in life, the one who changed me and rescued me from myself, the one who convicted the depths of my heart over my sin and rebellion - and He is the hope for the nations. He is my life. So I don't need to get another one. If only you would see the hopeless state you are in before God and the severity of the judgement that waits for you after death - then you may be a little more interested in finding out now about how to be forgiven, how to repent and change, how to get assurance of eternal life with God and how to know the work of the Holy Spirit inside you. I am concerned about the increase of Islam into this country - in fact I believe in 30 years or so this will be a Muslim country. However, I see the massive growth of Authentic Christianity in other countries. I read God's promises in the BIble that in the last days there will be hard times for Christians. But these are just birth pains. Waiting for something bigger to happen. And I for one cannot wait for that day. Halal meat doesn't bother me. What bothers me are people having 'other gods' both secular and religious, before the true God of Creation and the Bible. |
