My View.........

Christianity, Yes, I am a Christian. As you can see by my header above. I am firm believer of Gods word and I stand on it daily. It is life, Truth and our daily direction to help us live the best life in this crazy of a nut shell world. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."

Gods ways are not my ways, Gods plan is not my plan. What He desires for us is to have the best life we could ever imagine. I am not ashamed of Christ, He is my Lord and Savior and I am happy He is always there when I need him. HE loves me unconditionally, He corrects me when I do wrong, He shows me all the things I need to see, hear and know to live in this life. I will do my best to follow Him and be the best leader setting the best examples I can and know how from all I learn from HIM.

Whats My Beef? I am so angry tonight that other people and Christians in general set poor examples about Christianity. They should be ashamed of themself for casting judgement and forcing their beliefs on others. We are not to judge others nor should we condemn them for their decisions. Tonight I have seen a few Christians attack other Christians and non Christians and I am so sickened by it. What is so sad, was the topic is not just on Christianity, there were other things. 

 Mark 2:13-17 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him. While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

In this verse we see Jesus sat with the sinners, there are other chapters and vs that relate to this same topic. Never once did he condemn a man for making a decision that he didnt agree with or believe.  He always spoke Truth, Gods Truth and taught about Gods word. He left it up to the student if you will to make the choice to follow the truth or not.  [Matthew 9:9-13; Luke 5:27-32]

It angers me to see others, Christians and non Christians judging others for their decisions because it is not right by that person. [James 4, Matthew 7, Romans 2, 1 Corinthians 4, Luke 6, Romans 14.]
God has a plan for everyone and no one person will have the same plan as an other.  Just because you may believe one way do not think an other should believe your way. God made us different for a purpose. Please do your best if you are a person who consistantly condemns, judges or shoves your belief an other. Ensure you are speaking Gods word of Truth daily and not formatting His word to be based around your beliefs or what you think should be the truth. These are grounds we all should be careful of.

To you who may have been mistreated, or had someone poorly represent Christ, My apologies to you. Please forgive their ignorance to Gods word. Not all of us are like the ones who poorly represent Christ.

God bless you and Thanks for hearing [reading] my vent.
