Change of pace.
First of all allow me to say that I consider myself a Christian although I express a certain amount of curiosity and respect for all types of religions. Lately I've been ranting quite a bit about a certain subject and so far I've been given no support or understanding for the way that I feel. I'm hoping to change that tide of opposition today.
Where to begin.............
Ok, as christians, who believe in christ as Lord and savior, and who are encouraged to have a personal relationship with him all through our daily lives, sometimes it bothers me that none of them even know his favorite color. Or for that matter what his favorite food was. My point is, think of every other relationship you hold with so many others in your life and you know and for that matter should know everything thing about them. But how well do you really know Jesus. The disciples spent atleast 11 or 12 years with him before he was killed and they never just spoke of a day when they was just kickin it, everything mentioned of him was so pivital, critical, and dramatic. I'm simply saying that it took away something that I don't think people really grasp at times.
JESUS WAS A MAN people, he slept, ate, pissed, took a shit, all of those lil things we are all burden to do from the pretteist face to the most unappealing person you can think of in your life. The MAN blew his nose, passed gas, add body odor if he didn't wash, everything. Those things didn't take away his glory if you believed he was the Son of God, or that he was God. He was an example of how God intended us to be even with all the ailgments that come along with being human in this world. And maybe it's a temper tantrum but I want more, like anyone would want more when they are in love with someone, I want to know him more personally and I think we all should. I can't sit down and worship like Catholics do because it's seem so ceremoniously drawn out and staged(no offense), but when I think of all the people I love in just plain human nature, I don't approach them that way, which is probably why so many more can't relate.
My site/blog is named after a book a read some years ago, very hard read. It's subject is about original sin, the tragedy behind Adam and Eve's transgretion. But it made me realize that sin didn't orginate in man, but in heaven it self when Satan took arms again God. Jealously I believe is the word(amond other things might I add). It interests me alot how people relate to God, inpart because most assume that I don't, but it's not my fault that can't see it.
I just don't like when you take so much from a person, that all you end up knowning is the legend.
Yall be cool.

Well I am glad you are really thinking in depth about our Lord! Yes Jesus was a man God came to us in HUMAN form in the flesh. We had talked about GOD before and you were just kinda like,"OH yea i believe in GOD" like "Oh yea i seen that movie!". What did you mean by this Post? I do think its cool that your thinking about GOD on a more personal level and you WANT to learn more about HIM. Hope your doing good!
Well, I must say that it is good that you have thought about the Bible on this level. I will ask a question before I make any further comments though because I was not clear if this is what you were implying. Do you feel that Jesus and God are the same?
PS: Nikki sent me to this blog in case you are wondering.
Actually i was leaving that open to the reader(whether or not Jesus and God are the same or not.) To answer both comments above and whoever might be a bit confused at my point.
I'm really just asking people to analyze there relationship with Jesus and God. I'll stop at the for now too not seem long winded.
read it again.
I needed to hear this, thank you.
Thank you, my dear brother. Thank you for simply giving the relationship consideration at all as opposed to just going thru the motions as so many of us (catholics, COGIC, and whomever else, no offense)do. Any one of us who thinks that because we managed to make it thru the doors of the building this Sunday, we know the Creator, the Master--we have much, much more examination of ourselves to be doing. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security. The bible says--"study to show thyself approved..." Continue on your journey, Soldier for you will find new rewards (and not only for yourself) at each turn. Blessings and prosperity to all who read.
