I havent up-dated in a while so excuse me. I have been busy at school & have realized something.
My new friend since 12-14 weeks ago was on the fence about believing in God. It's not something he and I talk about, but he told me he finally made a decision. He does NOT believe in God. He said "you just cant pop up and say your God and you made the earth".
I didnt say anything, because things tend to set him off, so I just listened. & he knows where I stand on the situation.
Am I or have I stopped being friends with him because of this? NO. He is my friend and like I have said many times 'I Don't Judge'.
But I do have an answer for one of his reasons not to believe. God didnt pop up out of no where. He was here was a long time, before he created adam and eve or Jesus. He was here and his name is God. Always has been. Things can seem forcefull and very un-realistic when looking at them a certain way. Its easy. Which is why I think, people can come up with a ton of excuses. Heck if I think about it, I can make a couple of excuses for you! But that would mean taking a minute to stop what I belive in & I cant. Or rather, I dont wont to. Not because I'm afraid I will turn against what I believe now, but because believing is MY LIFE. Not like you would think a christians life is though. Last week ( 11-7-10) was the first time I've been to church ( for church & not a funeral) in months. I dont read the bible, no where near like i should. Things have been slipping away lately and now I'm taking a grip. The POINT of this page of THIS BLOG??
Well it's okay to be friends with non-belivers. But you shouldn't let them influence you to belive diffrently. Or get you to do things you dont want to do.
& whats with the picture on this page? It symbolizes innocence. Youth. Religion? Maybe. Probably not. But as kids we learn from other people examples and what they teach us. Just remember, kids are watching us, as we watched our Parents, Gaurdians, Elders, Etc.
