| Mead 11/17/17 4:00:40 AM #1: | Gonna see what all the fuss is about. I mean it's free. Using this app that gives me daily parts of it to ponder or try to figure out I guess. Full disclosure I consider myself an agnostic person. It is not my intent to offend anyone with this topic, I am merely exploring my own spirituality. If you are sensitive about your faith this may not be a topic for you. Here is the first bit it has given me to ponder But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. This uses the word victory, so that makes me think that it is about winning. So maybe through faith in Jesus you will win at life? Or maybe it means that Jesus died so people could get to heaven in sort of an ultimate victory? I feel like that might be the right interpretation since it mentions Jesus but also says thanks to God. Not sure how I feel about the idea that all of your sins can just be forgiven and wiped away though. I try to be a good person and make decisions that help others, but I've also made mistakes and done bad things as well. I feel guilt about those choices, but I also remember them and how they make me feel so that I make better choices in the future. If I was to believe that my sins were simply absolved, I'm not sure how that would affect my perspective. --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead "I'm Mary Poppins ya'll!" ... Copied to Clipboard! |
