Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I see it all the time, time and time again. My own friends!

We go to church and they act like they're the most innocent sweetest things on the planet, they throw on their cross necklaces and suck up to the pastor and their parents and everyone there. I know I have no right to judge others and talk about them, espeacially if they are my own friends but it makes me sick! You cannot say you are a christian then turn around and make fun of others and put them down and laugh at them! You cannot judge and scowl your face down at sinners and preach to them that they are going to hell. God says they are more righteous than you, when you do things like that. He favors a sinner who wants no part of him that dosn't hypocrit, rather than a false christian who takes god down off the shelf when certain people are watching. I dont get it! Dont they fear god?! Dont they care that when they say they are christians and they sin and act like they dont care is making god look bad? He hates it when people do that, and I try to be careful of what I say when I bring god into it, I would rather not say his name than dishonor him. I love god, I cant leave him, when all he does is love us, and stay by us throughout everything. Sure things get hard and I want him to just fix things so my life would be easier, but thats not how things work. The hard parts of life is what makes us stronger, it teaches us to appreciate the good in things. well here I go preaching, ok back to the point.

I do not ever want to become like the pharisees. I will never look down on others and tell them what they need to do with there lives and not be nice to them because they arnt like me or because my friends wont like it, thats not what jesus did, and neither will I.

Jesus hung out with the outcast, and thieves, and low lifes. The outcast as I shall put it. This made alot of the important people angry, and it ticked off the pharisees. Jesus treated them like they were equals. Thats how I was raised to be like, my whole family actually. My grandmother when she was a cop, would run the jail most of the time, she would allow the prisoners to talk to her as long as they kept their mouths clean. She said it was really hard for some of them but they tried hard. They respected her because she treated them like people. I love my grandmother she always makes me want to be a better person. My grandmother has always been like that as long as I can remember, people are always drawn to her, I guess thats where I got it from. You can talk to me as long as you remember your speaking to a lady, keep that mouth clean and we'll get along just fine. Just kidding, not everyone that talks to me remembers that but I remind them nicely and they try harder.

What I am trying to say is this, if you feel like I'm being pushy tell me. I dont want to ever hurt anyones feelings, I care about how you feel. I except you for the way you are. If your ever hurting and need someone to talk to, I'm a good listener, and whatever we say is strictly between us. I might quote from the bible, but thats the way I am, I wont try to push you or condem you, because I have no right to, just tell me whats on your mind and I'll try to help the best way I can, and if you ever get uncomfortable just let me know and I'll stop. Either way its up too you.

Well I feel better now, I had alot of stress I wanted to get off my chest, and also wanted to ensure you that I'm here to help friends out. cool


p.s. I apologize to my friends that I wrote about, its nobody on gaia so dont worry, but I still shouldn't talk about them, I just wanted to get it out, I'm sorry. neutral
