by may belong to the social or ethnic groups I talk about below. If
anything I type offends you, just be like, man this offended me, and I
will probably answer you ina way I can't think of right now.
Also I am not really into this politically correctness (I may do my speech on that this year.....
)So, after doing some voluntary and involuntary research, I have
discovered some of the following (others probably have discovered this
as well)
First off, truth is opposite and incompatible with Tolerance.
Because Truth in its very nature is intolerant and exclusive, and in
society today, those terms are up there with racism and such.
But here is why truth is so.
say there are 5 sayings, and one of them is true
The true saying will exclude the other saying from being true, and that makes sense, if it doesn't then I can't really help you.
And then it does NOT tolerate them to claim to be truth. So basically truth condemns lies and casts them down.
So when a Christian says that jesus is the ONLY way to heaven, and they
use John 14:6 (Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me.) They are saying,
the truth is Jesus, he claimed to be so, and thus everything else is a
lie, and thus is wrong. That includes the Muslims and the Buddhists and
the Hindus and the Atheist and the other religions, even those weird
cults like Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses.
When someone says the Law of God is true, it means that they are saying
what the law says is wrong, is wrong, easy as that, murder, lying,
homosexuality, and so on.
The basis for truth is terrible to the ear of one who does not live in
the truth, however to one who lives in the truth, the truth is a
beautiful sound.
Society today (or at least in Canada and the United States in some
states) it is almost fact that one must be tolerant and politically
correct and that materialism is the way to go, and evolution is true.
But the truth is that Society is Evil, and is leading people to hell,
where they will burn because they were deceived by these crappy lies.
Seriously, whoever believes that evolution is true, is ignorant of some
very simple mathematical and scientific facts. And you have the most
amount of faith in the world, or your stupid, I'm sorry, there is no
easy way of putting it.
And believing this whole Evolution + Creation is as bad.
Because the simple fact is that we didn't evolve, it is IMPOSSIBLE
the Mathematical probability is 1 in 10 to the power of 1024
That is so close to 0 that it makes things like winning a lottery 100%
and that is pretty improbable.
Also Society tells us that we should respect people's opinions and to
be politically correct (I really forget the meaning of it, but meh).
While I say that we shouldn't go kill everyone who thinks different,
and we have should respect people. You don't need tor espect someone
else's ideas, I mean if someone thinks its okay to kill babies by
chopping off their legs, you wouldn't say "Mate, I don't agree with
you, but I respect your opinion" no, who would?
respect the person
if someone is a homosexual
you can say
"man I respect you as a person, but I got to tell you, that being homosexual is wrong, and I hope you would change"
There is nothing wrong with that, but people will say, oh well, just
because they do something that you don't like, or agree with, doesn't
make it wrong.
However remember the fact about truth?
if the truth is that we were created straight, man for a woman and a
woman for a man, as it is, than saying homosexuality is okay, is a lie.
And it is something that we cannot tolerate to exist. Not to say kill
everyone, because that would be mean.
But (side track) I noticed that we in the West don't get death
sentences. And I only realized this after readying one of the
Corinthians (1st I think) where he quotes from Deuteronomy and sasy you
must purge the evil from among you. And when the law was given to
moses, the Isrealites were to be pure, and to purge any evil that may
corrupt them, which is why adultery and other crimes have consequences
of stoning and death.
But a lot of people don't get that, or that they can't, or do want to get it.
And maybe that is what is wrong in our society, people don't want to
admit they are wrong,and they don't want to have to change their
worldview, and they don't want to be held accountable, which is why
tolerance has become so important. And perhaps if we were all a little
less Proud, and were perhaps a lot more humble and willing to submit to
the truth, wherever it may lie (and in case you were wondering, there
are people who have found the truth, and I don't want to boast, but I
among Q and many others have found it, and submitted to it, which has
begun a change in each of us [I am talking about Jesus] that [speaking
for all, but at the very least, for myself] is awesome, just awesome,
plain and simple). That was an epic quote by the way, two quotes inside
a quote, anyway it seems that people are lazy sloths and to take the
time and really look for the truth or look at the solid facts is too
much of a challenge and the idea of believing in something paper thin
is a much better idea.And when they are proven wrong, or guilty, they
don't know what to do, they will try their hardest to save themselves
to make themselves look good, or get rid of their guilt. But they don't
want to live righteously, because they love sin and wickedness; and
sadly most people alive today on this planet love wickedness and sin
and refuse to turn away from it, because they love it so much, no
knowing they are rejecting something much better.
I think the words from one of Phil Joel's songs called My generation says it best
"Watch you walking away, it's driving me crazy, it's my generation"
People are deceived and its so annoying, and their stubbornness is almost unbearable.
But don't think that I am an except of this, because I know full well
that even as I sit here typing this, I am comdemning myself, so I say
that is is better for me to be condemned and redeemed in the truth than
to continue and think I am innocent. I can also tell you that there
will be no one alive on this planet who will hate me more than I do,
and I can assume confidently that it is the same for every person.
Something else though, that bugs me is the accepted though of Justice, Mercy and Grace.
I guarantee if you ask 10 people randomly what is the definition of grace, 8/10 at least will not say this
Grace is getting what we do not deserve.
Justice is getting what we deserve
Mercy is not getting what we deserve
Grace is getting what we do not deserve.
And it bugs me that people cry out for injustice when someone dies.
Oh so-and-so was a good person, he never killed or committed a crime, was a good student, why did he have to die at 25 (lets say).
but the truth is we are all guilty of sin, and thus deserve to die, that is justice. When someone dies, it is never a case of injustice, and it may sound harsh, but that is how it goes. it is written that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God
also in another place that the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
And its not a case of sinning once or twice (by the way, sin is a thought, an action, or a word that breaks God's law)
If I asked you or anyone, have you ever lied, or stolen anything, or wanted somethign someone else had, or committed adultery (even looking with lust in your eyes is adultery) or killed someone (even hating someone in your heart so much that you say [I could kill him/her] is murdering them in your heart) everyone would say, well yeah, I guess I have at one point or another.
But the fact is that we haven't sinned a couple times, I would say for myself I have sinned about 10,000 times at the most right now in my life, and if I live a long life I might sin 50,000 or even 100,000 times.
But everyone younger here on this site would probably have sinned between 1,000 and 10,000 times.
can you imagine someone who broke the law 1,000 in our society?
That isn't even possible, justice would have been dealt upon him long before that point. Can you now imagine how Merciful and Patient God has been with us? Can you see why Hell is the punishment for us if we reject God and don't accept salvation? Our sins condemn us so much.
Also people always say that Hell is unfair for a punishment
but is you sin against a Baby, it will cry
if you sin against your girlfriend/boyfriend they will break up with you (depending on gender)
if you sin against your husband/wife, they may divorce you,
if you sin against the law, you go to court
if you sin against the government, you can possibly die, or go to jail for the rest of your life.
As the authority gets higher, the consequence for sinning against that authority also gets higher, so sinning against God, who is infinitely graeter than any authority on earth, how much more terrible will teh consequence be?
and so I know I got off topic, but this is a rant, and its me.
Actually, we are more intolerant than tolerant, or we should be
Because we do not tolerate anything innately evil like child rape or anything like that, to say we are tolerate would be hypocritical, because we would only be tolerate to things that are not against our law.
I would go on, but its late and I have things to do tomorrow
