My mind is today just trying to whiz through the motions of what it set out to do. I pretty much only took about five minutes to read a few pages of the Bible really fast a minute ago while I was sitting here to write something on this blog. A topic that I find interesting from having read the Bible for a few days now is unintentional sin and still being guilty of it, even if we didn't mean to sin because of the intent. I recall from listening to some sermons that sin is characterized as pleasurable. I really need to ask this question- where do we draw the line of being satisfied and obtaining pleasure without committing sin?
From exploring myself quite a bit, I feel that our passions are God-given elements that will help us to acquire what we're looking for in that ultimate peace and direction. Obviously, they can also be neglected or abused by some of us. Thinking from a God-centered, Biblical perspective, people are placed in a light that really examines their hearts and sometimes, we hear a calling of how our ways are evil and wishing to let go of a sin that's been messing with us for some time. The power of the gospel is pretty much equated from placing faith on the Son of God who gave up his life and even died in a very painful manner through being nailed on the cross so that God would treat His perfect Son as sin. Through God's justice system, it has been said that no sin will go unpunished according to the Bible. The Bible says that God's love is patient and slow to anger. With the Father sending His Son to allegedly fulfill a prophecy of the Old Testament, the Son became the perfect lamb that was supposed to be sacrificed for the sins of all who wish to be followers of God in the Bible we know about today.
I remember I was hammered by a believer who kept saying that you need to repent from your old, evil ways and turn to a new direction of hope to find this new relief that is filled with a new raw sense of peace and joyfulness. In other words, believers repent because they simply choose to accept Christ into their hearts and follow after their glorious and marvelous God. Repentance is pretty much one of the fruits that mark the life of a true believer who strives to have some fellowship with God. Lives have pretty much changed because of this simple message that asks us to put faith in a loving God, which is based on reasonable faith as probably determined by some Christian researchers who strive to put together a more intelligent model of life as supposed to the evolution theory, which I find a little hard to accept right now because of some missing puzzles that have to be inferred or deducted based on the Earth being billions of years old which is a little hard because can the sun actually last that long? Wouldn't some form of entropy take place by then, which is a mathematical form of eventual chaos in the universe from having gone long enough?
