Doing His Bidding
"We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified."
Galatians 2:15-16
Ever wonder if high school kids ever shower or wash their clothes? I'm sure that when I was in high school the adults would think the same thing.
I was on the 95 at Rideau a few days back (when it was supremely gusty and windy and I saw a 400 pounder get moved backwards) and there a number of high school kids on the bus. One of them was standing close to me (packed bus) and I could smell his stench. Now whether this was due to him being negligent in personal hygiene or not knowing how to wash his clothes, I do not know since I was doing me damndest to keep my lunch from erupting. So yeah that was an experience.
The above passage shows how Christianity is different from Judaism and Islam. We are justified in Christ by faith and not just observing the Law. I received in my letterbox a pamphlet on Islam. It talked about how peaceful and wonderful Islam is and can be, however at the end of the pamphlet, there was a little phrase; "Every child is born in a state of 'Islam', then, his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a Magian." To me it sounds like a singling out of Jews and Christians and placing them in a bad spot by making it sound like Jews and Christians force their own to be Jews and Christians. But, what to do....
Had a odd dream a few days past. It was dramatic and "violent"? because there were guns and car chases(I think?). I should have written it down when I woke up from it in the middle of the night, now I forget most of the parts. But somewhere in the dream, I remembered that Em was in trouble of somesort and I began to worry. I started to do or plan something (her rescue?) that's all I can remember. Like I said, should have written it down. Sometimes my dreams tend to me "prophetic" in otherwords, they tend to come true. However, these dreams are not overly important. They are just about minor things that would come true in a few weeks to half a year. It's wierd and interesting as well.
Wow, only one more day before I get to meetup with Em! Can't wait for that. : )
Neways, back to work for me. Back in a bit, later!
