What I Believe- Part 1

I was debating for a while today about what i wanted to write about. There are lots of things i plan to right about, but i decided on this. This post will be the 'What', on my beliefs, the other parts like how i came to believe this will come later

In a nutshell, I believe God created the world. How he created it, i have no idea. A friend of mine put it well when he said, " If god created the world in six days, THATS AMAZING!!!!" "If god created the world through billions of years by using a process similar to evolution, THATS AMAZING!!!!"

Either way, god created the world.

I believe that god sent his only son to be born of a virgin, to die on the cross for my sins so that i might go to heaven and be with god eternally. He was crucified, resurrected, and transcended into heaven.

I believe that God is Love. Unfortunately, this is where i start to split off from the mainstream.

I am an adamantite supporter that people should have the right to have a gay marriage should they wish to. They are not hurting anyone else. All these laws that are created in order to remove their right seem to me to be self styled 'Christians', wishing to impose their beliefs on others.

I do not believe that is what Jesus would do. Jesus didnt hate the non believers, and force them to follow him. He loved them, and should they wish to follow him, he was their teacher waiting with open arms.

Why should we force our religion on others, when christian, in its simplest form, means Christ-Like.

However, i do believe that abortion is wrong. I believe that when someone has an abortion, they are preventing the unborn child from having a life. They are committing murder, and that is illegal.

Bottom line, i love Christ with all my heart, and strive to be closer to him. I think that Christianity in its simplest form, is love. Because of this, i do my best every day to be a friend to everyone i meet. In this way, i hope to become a beacon of Christ's love. I have a long way to go, but then again, with Christ in my heart, i have an eternity to work on it.
