Prayers for strength

Postby Momo-P » Mon Sep 10, 2007 10:33 pm

Lately I've been in a fight with someone about God again. Not like I wanted to, but unfortunately they have a habit about picking on me.

He says he's a Christian only because his gut said God sounded better than no God, but otherwise his views follow pretty much everything science says it seems. Drives me mad. Especially when he actually says that it's logical that, by chance, the earth and all it's creatures really did end up the way they did. Even though science itself is amazed at the complexity of the earth and it's organisms and how it's seeming less and less possible it's all by chance, he's convinced that it makes perfect sense.

Ugh. Just stuff like that and little things. I don't want to put up with him, especially because he never changes his opinion, but like I said, he always attacks stuff I say. Then I can't let go of it until I prove how relying so heavily on a bunch of guys in lab coats isn't a smart move.

Over all, not only do I want my faith to be strong enough to withstand the doubts he puts in me, but I also want to be strong enough to ignore him and stand up strong to whatever he tries to pester me with.

Another thing I need strength for is dealing with stuff in my future. I rather not go into detail on that, but this morning I was crying over it and barely got any sleep, so prayers would be nice.


Erm, oh ya. Someone named buddha sent me a PM trying to convert me to buddhism it looks like. What the heck? ._.

yeah, I got the budha one. I pray that he'll get saved. :(

And I'll pray for the guy. Tell him he's not a Christian, then tell him what a Christian is. He sounds awfully Agnostic.

I believe that if someone believes there is a god out there, but that this god doesn't really do anything and just lets the world do it's thing, then that person is a Deist.

It is pointless to argue with someone over the logic (or lack) of believing in our Christian God (as we know Him). That's a faith thing. So, perhaps you can just stand on that and say "It's obvious that you don't understand God as I know God. God is infinite and, therefore, cannot be defined by finite human science. I believe God exists and is active in my life because I KNOW He is."

Praying for you, too.
