You sound like you're trying to solve some sort of mystery or puzzle. If we all begin to cast suspicion on every one else's faith, what's left? <br /><br />I read your profile and you talk a lot about love. Don't the Scriptures teach that love is ready to believe the best about a person? Why would your first supposition be that there's no evidence that the Jesus Anne loves is not a construct of her fantasy just like the vampires she wrote about? <br /><br />I'm confused but appreciate your contribution to the conversation.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406445533353691421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150974407718812261.post-34239209797249288682010-08-29T03:49:04.794-04:002010-08-29T03:49:04.794-04:00Anne described how she created her vampires to fil...Anne described how she created her vampires to fill the void of the faith she left behind. Is there any evidence that the Jesus Anne loves is not simply a similar construct?<br /><br />From her list of "I can nots", it seems that what she loves bears more resemblance to a secularized American Democrat than the Jesus of Scripture. We should all search our hearts, to make sure we too are not worshipping a Jesus-shaped idol of our own making.<br /><br />What we think of her ultimately matters nothing...what she thinks of the real Jesus when they meet also means little. What He thinks of her, means everything. Pray hard for her and all of us, that when our time comes, we do not hear the words "depart from me, I never knew you."
