Thoughts of the day [1/25/09]

Rough Day, but here it is.

1. "You make everything glorious and I am Yours.What does that make me?" I think God has been helping me to see through his grace filled eyes. Yes, I can still be very critical about appearances. But recently, I think I've been able to see a glimpse of how everyone, EVERYONE, is beautiful in God's eyes. That nerd walking down the street, that kid with the weird mole, those people with braces, etc, etc. Everyone is beautiful in God's eyes. I hope to see more and more how everyone is beautiful.

2. It occurred to me today, "What if there's no hell?" What if, despite all of this emphasis on receiving JC as our savior, God just allows everyone into heaven? It seems like something God would do right? Like he did with Nineva, except in that case they all repented... -.-

I dunno, I was just thinking that it would be really surprising if in God's ULTIMATE love, he just ended up letting everyone in. I mean, we're all undeserving in the first place, so maybe it's not THAAAT far of a stretch. =X hopefully I didn't say anything blasphemous. lol

3. I want to be a humble intellectual. This is hard. Dumb people almost always annoy intellectual people. Sometimes I get frustrated when people can't see/understand things my way. Not saying I'm smart...I guess I just wanna be humble ^______^V

4. I feel that a lot of the time, intellectuals and scientists don't accept any of our faith because science says that things don't work like that. Like, evolution disproves creationism. Or the water to wine. Or all these other miracles.

I think they miss the point that God is not bound by logic or the laws of nature. My English teacher once said was that religion, by definition, was irrational. And I think that puts it well. Yes, scientifically, water can't be instantly turned into wine, but the thing is, our God is not bound by science. I know, I know, in an actual argument, this just sounds like a cop out/easy way out. But it's the truth. You can't argue God with logic or science, because He is confined by neither.

Hopefully my thoughts are not that discombobulated. It's a definite possibility since it's late.
