Wow, has it really been almost a month since my last post? Sheesh I guess my life has been pretty boring as of late. I honestly can't think of anything exciting to report... the weeks have gone by quickly just keeping up with the daily routine of life.
My church blog recently posted an article on Calvanism ("so hot right now") which was really interesting. Just as the post describes, it's attractive and appealing to me because I like to have the easy, black & white answers sometimes but disturbing, because on the other hand, there are some grey areas where there has to be room for discussion and the realization that there are mysteries of faith we may never understand in this life. I have a lot of thinking, studying and room for spiritual growth left in this life, and while I try to be open to learning and listening to other people's experiences and world views, I do think there has to be a line in the sand at some point, where you determine what truth is or whether you even believe in absolute truth. I do believe there is absolute truth in some matters, such as the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God. I don't believe that all religions lead to salvation or absolute truth. To me, that makes Jesus out to be a liar, and even if you're not a Christian, believing that all religions are inherently good, lead to God, are all the same, etc. just waters down the integrity of the beliefs or tenants of each religion, so why would anyone want to follow them anyway?
Ok, off the soapbox for now. Here's a fun little theology quiz. I am apparently a 50/50 split between Roman Catholic and Evangelical/Weslyean theological worldviews. About as random as it gets!
