Christianity is not something you can approach like a
buffet. You cannot take this part or
that and leave the rest. The Christian faith
is only found in the Bible and again you cannot pick and choose as you
please. It has to be approached humbly
and not with an attitude of, “I know better.”
The Christian faith is not something that you find; it finds you. Last
night’s DVD was more about the physical writing down of the Bible and nothing
about God inspiring it. I know the DVD’s
on future nights will upset me and I had determined not to go, but then a
friend wanted me to go and for her sake I will. Next week is about the
supernatural. No doubt there will be
some miracles explained away. I don’t
want to hear that tired old explanation of the Red Sea crossing being the Reed
Sea and was a spelling mistake. If you
believe in God Almighty why do you think He would have any trouble parting the
Red sea and please don’t tell me about earthquakes nearby, even if that were so
what marvellous timing!!
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...
