These people who are in-betweeners I'm not really worried about. It's the people that KNOW and want to push their God on everyone else that I have a problem with....and they are everywhere. Could Dawkins be guilty of this? To some degree maybe, but the burden of proof is on those who make the most outstanding claims. Dawkins just asks for a bit of evidence which no one seems to have.
I believe it can make sense. You know that I consider myself a
true Christian and I do honestly believe that God is real, Jesus is real, and that Sin and the devil are real. But I am also woman enough to admit yeah, I could be wrong. I don't believe I am, but I know there is no way I can prove it beyond the shadow of a doubt on this side of life.
Now I know many of you might have already heard this saying but please allow me to repeat it any way...."I would rather live as if there is One True God and die to find out I am wrong, than to live as if there is no god only to die and be proven that I was wrong."
I think maybe that is what Schu's friend might be doing. He probably believes, just as surely as I, that God is real. But at the same time admitting that yeah, we could be wrong. Only time will tell.
Now I hope I have never PUSHed my God onto anyone; however, I do feel like I need to at least tell others about Him so they can make a decision as to if they will trust in HIm. It is up to the individual as to what they wish to do. I hope that I have been an example that a True Christian can serve God without shoving religion down other people's throats. Christian can witness in so many ways besides just word of mouth. In fact, more often than not, actions speak louder than any words.
I'm not perfect and never will be in this life time. (as several of my posts have testified) But I can admit that I do not hold all the answers, especially when it comes to the mysterous ways of God.
