I follow the blog of an extremely dedicated and methodical and steadfast Christian . Daily his posts back up consistently his views through Bible quotes . Some disagree with him on levels that are complex and beyond my " pay grade " . Recently he posted that all he had written about and believed was if push came to shove , based on faith . That was the bottom line . The last defence . I find it hard to put into words how impressed and even deeply moved I was by that statement . For only so long can anyone of any faith rely solely on dry academic quotes from ancient manuscripts . There must be more . That more is a little madness . That more is a little illogical . That more is FAITH in the unseen or unprovable ( KETHER )That more is what makes my blog tick too . Not everything needs to be proved in black and white .
Now what annoys me is when beliefs are not treated equally . Someone recently called my blog mad . They said it to my face as well . All beliefs are subjective and those who fear and loath this blogs subjects back up their own beliefs from very old sources which are far from clear , and many believe are incomplete . We need to validate our beliefs on what we see every day . I believe this is the future
Just to re-cap as some may now think ive slipped into an anti-Christian rant : I was deeply moved by this mans admission of all relying on faith and I wish him all the best in his current troubled time .
I think I used to follow this person you are referring to, but I decided to remove people who only added me so that I add them back but they never read my blog...that sort of thing. I also feel that some people make Christianity sound negative, and I don't like being bombarded with his entries which were often negative sounding. To get a sense of genuine Chrisitanity I would read the works of Kierkegaard. As they say the way is narrow and few enter...this includes Christians too. Many of them won't enter, as the entrance is too narrow for them and they are too narrow minded.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this isn't the same guy I used to follow?
