I know as I write this that I will probably offend a lot of people but sometimes you just have to get your opinion off your chest. I began struggling with the thought and concept of religion once I got to college. A few events in the church I was attending made me step back and think “what the…
While this may be written by my best friend in the whole world, on this point we have different opinions. Yes, people do bad things (lie and steal) but we are human, we are not even close to God. People make mistakes, this is what makes us human. As far as the murder of innocent people, I don’t have an explanation and I continue to search for this answer everyday. (Also, why He would take people too early (Eva)) I have struggled with my own faith being raised what Mel would call a “hardcore christian”. But I’ve come to realize— all I can know for sure is the presence of God in my own life.
I make my own decisions, that is obviously clear with the path my life has taken. I fail continuously and move on (mostly to different colleges). BUT I cannot help but notice how God takes care of me through these “failures”. I couldn’t get in to the A&M business school so I came to Tech. I now have the job I would have never had a chance to get with my grades at A&M. I met Joey. Without going into detail, he was exactly what I needed at that point in my life. I could never have predicted this would come out of such a huge failure. But God has a plan for my life, and I believe he was behind “my own decision”. I know that I don’t act as a normal “Christian” and this is due to my fall from faith in the contemporary church. I don’t think you should force your beliefs on people but let people decide for themselves, as I have.
Just an early morning thought. Back to researching IRC § 1038- gains on reacquisition of real property.
