In Reply to: ? How do you tell somone who thinks that if you happen to use a brain and challenge them, when and if you do challenge them and made them think outside thier box and still considers you a brother? posted by Ryan on August 06, 2002 at 09:17:24:
: I know I shouldnt let the pandora box open, but this has been on my mind for the last 3 months about Jesus unconditional love and also the fact that God allows suffering in ones life.
: Lately I have been going through some spiritual awakenings about my beliefs and it is contrary to some of my Church's creed statement, some of the changes has been about the life of Jesus and His calling about His suffering. arent I supposed to imitate His life and going to the cross and lay down my suffering to Him? I don't see that in my life because I'm lazy and not being challenged to go to the Cross.
: Well I need to go for now I will see ya on sunday, please pray for me as I search the Cross of Joy, Happiness, Peace, and Death.
