The Bible must be read in it’s entirety, by my Faith I believe that it is the Word of God, written by men that were inspired by God, it is not meant to be picked and chosen to push ones personal belief/opinion of a subject. A lot of folks like certain verses, like God loves them, but they don’t like the ones that says God will judge sinners. I am not talking about the Gay Marriage issue that is being debated right now, but when it talks about sinners and sin, really think about what this means, most think that there are levels of sin, a really bad sin vs a small sin, a rapist vs just a plain old liar. We can’t just pick and choose what we like and disregard the rest of it. Many have tried and this is why we have many different denominations within the Christian religion and if I over think it, it can be overwhelming. A preacher told me one time, that you just have to take your brain out of your head, hang it up on the wall, and then you will be forced to believe with your heart, the Faith that comes with knowing God. I always that thought that was so simple an analogy to use when talking with someone who over thinks everything.
With everything going on in the world today, there are some things that I know for sure and it’s what I believe. Jesus is the only way to Heaven, there is a Heaven and Hell, Good and Evil, Just and Unjust Causes, Right and Wrong; this is so ingrained in me that I stand steadfast in my beliefs and there is not anything that anyone can say to change my mind, I am who I am. I’m not going to worry too much about everyone’s opinions on everything, because in the end, I am the one responsible for my family. “Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens” Psalm 119:89
