The Double Standard

Can we be real for a moment? Like. For two seconds can we be honest about what is going on in society right now? You're going to have to be a bit more specific, Sarah. There is quite a bit going on in society right now... Correct. There is a lot going on in society right now and each issue is just as important as the next. Except, we have to choose our battles, right? So which monster am I pulling out from under the bed tonight, you ask? Why do we not start with the infuriating double standard that Christians are supposed to live by. Society is all about "acceptance" and "coexisting" and "say what you want" and all that "all streams eventually lead to the ocean" except for the fact that some streams lead to Hell, but that is taboo, right? We do not talk about the fact that if someone is right that means everyone else is wrong, and that all those other streams we think are going to "eventually lead to the ocean" will never make it to the ocean. They are going to dry up and all those fishies are going to die. No matter how much they believed they would end up in the ocean. All the positive thoughts in the world, all the "good deeds", and all the self improvements will get you nowhere if you are living a lie. This world wants acceptance for everyone. Everyone except Christians. Everyone else is applauded for their individualistic opinions, but Christians are regarded as narrow minded followers blinded by the opinions of their parents. Why am I not allowed to share my opinion without offending everyone, but the greater population is allowed to bash everything I believe, slander my creator, and disrespect the very life I live, and it is totally acceptable? Is the way I live that threatening to you? I think the main reason the world has so much beef with Christians is that we claim to be right. We are right. We have the truth, and not the "kind of" truth. We have absolute, 100%, not a doubt in our mind truth. and that scares people. In society we are supposed to be unsure about everything, because being sure about anything says you are narrow minded. I don't buy it. Why claim to "believe" something if you mindset is "well it might be right or it might not be right" NO! Whatever you claim to put your faith in you better believe that you are diving in head first with no hindrance. But that mindset scares the crap out of people. What if I am wrong? What if they are right? How can anyone be sure? "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" Hebrews 11:1 To believe in anything takes faith, and if we do not completely but into what we claim as our "religion" than we are neither sure nor certain. So excuse me if I have no doubts whatsoever because I have found truth while you are still wandering around in the dark. I am sorry if The light I am shedding into the pitch black is offending you, but truth does that sometimes. You want me to doubt what I believe. You want me to say "Maybe I am right. Maybe I am not right. Maybe we are all right in our own little ways." But thats the thing. I can not do that. Because guess what? When you know something for a fact. When your life has been drastically changed by a sovereign Lord, you no longer doubt, and you will never deny the truth. All religions can not be right. I am sorry. They cannot. And that is why Christianity is so hated. Because while other religions have their beliefs, they also do not claim to be right. but, guess what? I do. Because I AM. and that is infuriating for you to read, because you want me to doubt myself, think "Maybe not." The creator of the universe came to earth to die the death of crucifixion for MY SINS and ALL THE SINS OF THE WORLD and HE LOVES ME AND HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND GIVEN ME JOY AND RESCUED ME FROM THE BOTTOMLESS PIT THAT WAS THE RESULT OF MY SINS. You are on crack if you think I am going to even think about saying "Maybe not."  So that your faith will not rest on human wisdom but on God's power 1 Corinthians 2:5
