What if 911 Happened all over again?

No I am not a terrorist, I am a peace loving christian but it seems we have reached a point in time when we have forgotten what life was like prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001. In no way do I believe that this should happen again, and it feels weird writing that, but I believe this blog entry is going to sound a little weird at certain points. Lets get off the ground there are good things and there are bad things about computers, little things like e-mail that make our lives easier and then there are more scary things like virtual sex that you may not know about, but every time you visit one of those adult web pages, you are putting your computer in jeopardy as well as your mental health. I think we all need to do a spring cleaning of all the filth that we have been exposed to on the Internet and keep a clean mind and a clean heart and stay away from web sites that will damage us, and our pocket books and our freedom.

I was watching TV late the other night and happened to catch one of those documentary shows, and this one was talking about the suicide of Amanda Todd like it was some kind of murder. The murderer was the man who committed all those illegal Internet crimes by blackmailing the late Amanda that brought her to the point of taking her life. They interviewed the parents and of course they didn't blame themselves for not reaching out to Amanda, or trying to understand why she spent so much time in seclusion on the Internet, why she didn't get out more to clear her head from the trash she was doing on line. There was or is a web site, that teenagers go on to have virtual sex and then capture the pictures to sell to pornographic web sites for money. These web sites are like porno for teens with teens. One of them is blogtv. This was the website that Amanda Todd was using for virtual sex for a very long time. It's kind of like the problem that some adults have with pornography. Once you visit one of these pornographic web sites you get hooked.

It's kind of like being addicted to drugs or sex. Chemicals in your body changes when you view the pornographic image, and it is kind of like being on a high that you have to have more of that virtual sex. I call it sex because when most people view other naked human beings they get aroused, some to the point of masturbation. When you are a teen, your mind works in a very different way, the arousal part is the same but the dependence on the sexual image becomes more intense and acting out sexually in real life or virtually in real life has more real consequences.

With the web has come mass communication and one way human beings communicate with one another is sexually. We are sexual being and desire intimacy with one another. That is the way that God created us. Sex with our own kind in the bonds of marriage is what the bibles calls proper morality. But Satan and our evil hearts like to twist sex and make it evil, by making it a commodity. Something you can get on demand for free, and something that has no relationship behind it. What these teens are doing, and what Amanda Todd was doing was selling themselves through publicly revealing parts of themselves that it is illegal to do on the Internet. Basically child porn. Anyone under the age of 18 who has sex or shows dirty pictures of themselves in real life or on the Internet is breaking the law and we have webs sites like blogtv who are promoting the wholesale sex trade of our teenagers and our youth. A danger that wouldn't even exist in our darkest fantasies when I was a sexually active youth.

Oh ya before I became saved, I visited bars under age, I visited strip joints underage. I did allot of things that could get me into trouble, but the difference is now that when a teen sins sexually it is there for the whole world to see. I did stuff behind closed doors, but the youth these days because of the Internet are opening up their doors and basically flashing the world. Amanda Todd didn't have to die. She was overwhelmed with the consequences of her actions and felt she had no way to end her pain, other than taking her life. If Amanda committed the same sin back in the '80's there would be no consequences, because we all didn't have the Internet back then. Lets say she was at a party, the only people who would get her into trouble might be someone like a family member who heard she flashed and told her parents. She would be grounded for a week and would still be alive. I think I've made my point.

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...
