A great read! To take the thinking of avoiding or ridding ourselves of the temptation to sin to it's logical conclusion would have us putting women in a total covering from head to toe and to chop people's hands off for stealing and guess what - people still do what is wrong. Rather we should look to our hearts were all the trouble or goodness comes from and work on that. Mel Haha! A great read!

With this one in particular I like your take on being more like Christ in the way we work out our fatih. Sometimes though I envy those who can throw their arms up in the air and Praise God and be wrapped up in the religious experience. After all Christianity - being one with Christ is not just an intelectual pursuit nor is it just the moral working out in real life what one believes. It is in fact a spiritual happening from which we work out all these other things. For some it is an extremely emotional thing by which their inner man wants to shout out praises while for others it is a stoic commitment and a serious things. Either way, thank God, our level of intellect does in no way compromise or promote our capacity to receive God's salvific graces. Cheers Mel Hey Ben,

You almost made it seem that the people who live to be inspired by those "praise sessions" are bad people. As long as they also have the living like Jesus thing it should be okay. Some people just aren't deep thinkers. I agree with what you say in here, but you have to be careful with what you’re saying.

I think he intended that to be the end goal: to have him as a constant companion. Problem I have is that a lot of young people today start out by going straight to that idea. They view god as a kind of imaginary friend they talk to when they have problems and in doing so create a god in their own minds that bears some symbolic reference to the trinity but is insubstantial in all other aspects. This view is not only an idolatry but also leaves one open to disappointment when the "genie" does not deliver. We must also not fall into a trap of viewing god as a friend that we can disagree with. He is our companion and friend yes, but we are not (in this life anyway since we are promised this to some extent in the life eternal) his equal. We can easily try and say that our friendship with god is the same as our friendship to each other. I would only say that we should view it as being the childhood friend of a king. We know them and can be intimate with them, but at the end of the day we but still conform to their will. It is easier that we love them and understand them that we conform, but we still sacrifice ourselves. I do agree that he eventually wants us to view him as a friend.
