"It's proof-texting, which is using the scripture to fit their opinion," said Hepp. "They are using the idea of love as the foundation of Christianity, instead of sin and God's will."
.......
now do you see why sometimes i don't want to claim Christianity?
sometimes it is easier to say "episcopalian," because at least then people will know my beliefs are probably out-of-the-box.
lol, oh well. in the fullness of time there will hopefully be resolution. and loving kindness. and no divisions. and people who love.
until then, i will say my prayers. and i will try to love everyone, with God's help.
(and those last 3 words are the most important, srsly.)
About Me
- EJW
- twenty two year old with a bachelor's of science in english and creative writing, currently attending seminary of the southwest to get my masters of divinity. i am on a journey towards figuring out who i will become. i am an aspirant for holy orders within the episcopal church, which is terrifyingly beautiful. still, i will always be a writer. i am a big dreamer with a yearning to travel, as i've not seen much of the world. i tend to think that i'm an open book, but i'm pretty sure that's not the case as i have many questions for myself that have been left unanswered. in my "free time," i study birds. i am trying to have a strong heart for social justice and lose some of myself in caring for others. i am a proud episcopalian, with a respect for whatever it is that anyone believes. i love to write, i hope you enjoy.

I'm right with you.
"sin and God's will" ?
I suppose that's what paul wrote in corinthians when he said "And the greatest of these is sin and God's will".
Of course people have sinned. Of course God's will must be done. But some people need to also realize that God's will is going to be done with or without our help. The only thing God expects from us is love for Him, love for each other. Those two things encompass every area of life for the believer, even sin and the will of God(odd as it may seem to whoever told you what you had posted in this entry).
Keep the faith. :)
