When Atheists become bullys.

No this is not a play on words but the truth in my life right now. Some would ask the question what harm am I doing you if I don't believe in God? But this is the wrong question to ask. What has been going through my mind the past couple of weeks is how can a loving God, with all his power allow someone to go so far into the deep end (spiritually) that they have become a danger to themselves and others. I am talking about the angry atheist. To answer your question, how does it hurt me when you don't believe in God? When you kill me because I do (answer.) I think when someone looses the ability to see right and wrong they not only become a danger to themselves, but a danger to society. There is no danger physically to hold your atheistic view, I do believe you will suffer for it, but can I ask you please to allow me the same freedom I gave you to not believe in God...to believe in God myself? The angry atheist is not a made up story, it is what rally happens when truth is suppressed and the one who has found the truth are forced to live together..as brothers. What happens? One becomes the slave and the other becomes the abuser. True story.

My brother has just returned from Montreal and has solemnly wore his own atheism to the detriment of his own soul. He has vowed to influence me just enough in his Godless way of thinking, so that I will one..kill myself, or two, reject God. Obviously he has enough power to make my life a living hell (as a christian) but he can't get me to kill myself, for then I would be a martyr. I have enough courage with in myself to keep standing up to him, but the question is "How far is he willing to go to get me to renounce Jesus Christ?" (I think he has his own limits.) So my question now becomes.."How do I live with an angry atheist?" I think I should send him flowers every day. That's how.

This is Mike.

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
