Political correct nonsense is basically the religion of man. It buries truth and discourages free thought and free expression of good and bad opinions. In my opinion, the whole purpose of following Christ is so that He can transform you into a new being. The decision for Christ comes first and then comes our conversion/transformation. Repentance is part of our transformation. Problem is people say that want to be born again but they also want to cling to all of the attachments of their old life. That will never work. Can’t have it both ways. It would be easy, but many of those at ...

I was also writing of spiritual brokenness. What would happen to a church that has only spiritually broken people? Just walk into any ”Christian” church and see for yourself. I agree that people without beams in their eyes should go and try to help people get the beams out of their eyes. The problem is when everybody has beams in their eyes, all pointing out the beams in the eyes of others, it becomes futile. As far as the agenda of Satan to get us to believe that all types of sin are okay, that is always the agenda of the flesh and always will be. Man is always trying to warp ...

I agree with you Vektek, we shouldn’t define ourselves by our sins, and honestly I haven’t been involved in churches enough to really know what is going on. I know there is a big movement for people who want to declare that homosexuality is not a sin and I don’t agree with this. But there are also plenty of people who are homosexual and realize that it is sinful but still want to surrender themselves to Christ.

True, we are always God’s creation, but the feeling emoted by the author of the quote is that we feel like a lowly creation when in the presence of God. When in fact, we actually feel like an amazing creation when in the presence of God. Those sanctified by God become a new creation and cease to be a creature of the flesh. The quote is implying that we feel even more of our existence as a creature of the flesh in the presence of God, when in fact it is the opposite.

Just a quick additional note.

I find it somewhat irrelevant if Christ was crucified on a cross or a pole. What is important is His victory over death. I find the symbolism of the Christian cross (regardless of it’s accuracy of the actual cross or pole) to be quite appropriate for anyone that knows what it means. The horizontal beam represents death that was always present to man, man is in a constant state of death. The vertical beam intersecting the horizontal beam transforms death into the symbol for life. Christ gained victory over perpetual death and turned it into the Life that precedes primordial life.   [End]
