I have had to evaluate and re-evaluate what my Christianity is, and why. And what does our faith really cost us? Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He proved who He is by His life and love. He never "imposed" His own message on people, but allowed them to decide for themselves whether His message was the truth or not. "If anyone wishes to do (God's) will, he will know whether the teaching is from God, or if I speak on my own authority." Take it or leave it. As for Hillary, it's really sad that some people who disagree with a Christian worldview cannot do so without resorting to accusations of "psycological terrorism" and resorting to profanity to make their point. True Christians are not terrorists or dictators of truth. The truth is its own proof. Jesus is not a "terrorist" or a "rebel"--Indeed we are the rebels that He died for. "O taste and see that the LORD is good"--That's all I have to say. I heard that message by Francis Schaeffer, and it’s a real challenge to the entire church.

I certainly don\'t believe my view is the one and only. My view means nothing. However, God\'s view is the one and only and means everything. That would be a scary statement if God was not trustworthy, kind, fair and loving. But thankfully He is and we can trust that what He says is true and has our best interests in mind. Now you can\'t judge God until you have the EVIDENCE of his nature and that only comes when you let Him have a relationship with you. Have you done that? Hillary, thanks for the comments.

You push your views on people who don\'t want to know about yor b***s***, who like to believe things that can acsually built on EVIDENCE. You are an idiot.
