The moments of serenity and oneness that interrupt the daily bullshit are growing more frequent
I believe in Jesus being the son of God. I will admit it’s mostly an upbringing thing. The Bible tells me so, my father told me so, and so I know it to be true. Not very convincing I know.. Mainly stems from my admiration for my father and for the Book.
But the man Jesus did exist. And by all accounts he lead the perfect life. And his actions here on Earth, have had an impact like no other man. So logically speaking, if anyone was the son of God, it was him.
I think about this a lot. My wife was raised a follower of the ‘World Mission Society Church of God’
Basically they’re Christian but they believe that Jesus already came a second time. The guy never claimed it, the organization did after he died. It reaks of scientology/ money scheme.
My wife is mostly cleansed of it.. not that I took an overly active role in getting her there. To each their own...
But I wonder how God reacts to these people. They’re good people, they love Jesus. They just also love his second coming..
I think God will accept them, and they will learn of their mistake in the end.
I’m rambling now, but at the core of what it is to be Christian- accept that you are inherently evil, and that it takes effort to be good. Accept that there is a God/greater power, and that you owe your life to him.
The Bible, the philosophy of it all, is the next step in the process. Not necessarily a necessary step.. but it shouldn’t be viewed that way, as if it’s the price of admission. Just the easiest way to put it.
