They act just like the apostles who told Jesus that he should call fire down from heaven to consume those that had rejected Him in Samaria. Jesus’ reply was, ” I came to save life, not to take it” People can sometimes get just as heard hearted and heard headed as these disciples were. Jesus even told them that their hearts were hard because they did not consider the miracle of the loaves and the fish, when they were so surprised at Jesus calming the storm.

With Christians who are trying to develop a close relationship with the Lord, there are many things we have to go through. Many things happen in our lives that we cannot explain or have no answers for. There is a tendency to then say that it was God who allowed these things to happen to teach us something, or that it is God’s will to get this sickness, accident or disease because He is punishing us, or that it is God, who did this or that to cause such a one to suffer. People have even said that “God took my child, husband or wife”.

Thank you for offering some insight into how to interact with a Wiccan. A very dear friend of mine is entering into training to become a priestess and I’ve been very concerned for her. Thank you for pointing out the differences between her beliefs and others as well as outlining very briefly how to show God’s love to her especially since I feel that she probably does have a distorted view of Christianity…much like the 3 commentators above me have a distorted view of Christianity. I appreciate your time.

I used to regularly attend church, study the bible and considered myself a Christian. However I was unhappy with the way people followed a path, fundamentally through fear of judgement, and how anyone who did wrong were under the influence of Satan!! Yet they teach about agency and free-well to choose… too many contradictions. This to me produces many people who behave not as them ‘true’ selves; many people come across as false and a little creepy.
Also I was unhappy with the viewpoint that humans are the only beings to have a spirit; considering all species follow a highly similar blueprint. All you have to do is see an animal’s compassion to its young to know that is bull, elephants are a prime example. I am a molecular biologist and research fellow, and there are many things in nature which are still to be fully elucidated in science; aging, instinct and emotion/cognition for example. Many fellow Doctors I know believe in an unknown spiritual energy, yet few are Christians, most believe in intelligent design or celtic pagan beliefs.

Wow your mom must have not loved you as a child when you were growing up or something.It’s the views of morons like yourself that hinder the progress of your beliefs.I’ll have to post this on myspace first thing when I wake up In the morning so that any wiccans that are on my friends list can comment on this just as I’m doing so now. Your religion has brainwashed you Into trying to convert everyone else to It.Truth of the matter behind your madness Is simple.Most of your type feels so small about themselves that they have to tried to convert others to believed It also.Which goes against the bill of rights.We have the right to study our religion just as much as you do to.Nothing pisses me off more then someone that tries to convert me to their religion.Most of your kind are narrow minded and full a bitterness that far suppressed you.I hope everyone else that read this blog of yours gives you a piece of their mind too.We don’t go around trying to force our religion on other people like you do,because we have respect for other people.So you really should look at yourself In a mirror and asked yourself.How did I become such a moron In life?

I too like to “win” an argument so thanks for giving me a better perspective! I would also like to enlist your help. My church wants to host a “Biker Sunday” service this year. Any hints or ideas you can offer to help us get off the ground would be MOST welcome!

I like this. You are right about not needing advanced degrees for simple apologetics. The simplest apologetic is simply giving an answer, an account, for the hope that is in you.
