I went to the usual Monday meeting. The subject was exclusive faith. The DVD spoke about other “faiths” and used
philosophical arguments to speak about the differences in these faiths. The conclusion was that Christianity is
exclusive because it preaches that Jesus is the only way to God. I found it to be a bit too intellectual for
my liking. I would say that as Christians
we are bound to give offence. Have they
never heard of the offence of the gospel?
I am beginning to get used to the style of these DVDs and even afraid I
am being sucked in by them. They blur
the gospel and numb the mind.I only go because I have friends there and I want
to do any damage limitation I can. We
usually discuss them again on Tuesday evenings at our Bible study group.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
