I dont really think we are all sinner from birth. I think that people become "bad" when they do bad things-murder and such.<br /><br />I also think there is HUGE difference between believing in God and Jesus and believing in Religion. Religion has had literally thousands of years to change and interpret. I dont think my salvation (if there is such a thing, because again, I dont need to be saved from anything, I have not done anything wrong)depends on what a pastor or priest says. It depends on my own actions and what I do in My life.<br /><br />I like your views because you try to balance it out. You are not like that lady who thinks you have too little faith and you are not as you said New Age. <br /><br />I can be a question of if there is a God and if so, I dont think its the God that many of us are so afraid of. God would love us, sins and all and make us feel worthless at all.<br /><br />I follow many paths and beliefs and the truth is that we can never be sure what is correct. Faith is wondeful to have if it is not imposed on others because then it is not Faith. <br /><br />As always I enjoy your blog.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551174028128814636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-76447991516963374582009-08-27T10:36:20.394-07:002009-08-27T10:36:20.394-07:00just came back to comment on what you were ...just came back to comment on what you were saying about your Pastor 's sermon.<br /><br />I think balance is important.<br />A Christian should not over-estimate or under-estimate himself.I am what I am by the grace of God.<br /><br />My Pastor is not a good speaker at all Kathryn. I' ve heard much better sermons and preachers. But I listen to him as an act of spiritual discipline. He is good at heart.He is not on my intellectual level at all.<br /><br />And our church is a training ground for budding theological students...pastors in training...some of their sermons are very childish, they have language problems and many of them have not received proper education - again its spiritual discipline.<br /><br />I hope you don 't mind me saying this.Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887884977787790642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-80787497865580560202009-08-27T09:15:38.411-07:002009-08-27T09:15:38.411-07:00Hi Kathryn, may the lord grant you the dersires ...Hi Kathryn, may the lord grant you the dersires of your heart.Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887884977787790642noreply@blogger.com
