There are three things that are holding me back from being a Christian, they are
Moses
Hell
and History.
When I read about Moses, I find that he killed many people. He killed the Egyptian slave master and he killed all his own people that were worshiping idols. Moses is a man. He is a flawed man and he is not God. why should I turn away from God because of a Man. He was used as a messenger but he was just a man. The other thing is Hell. It would bother me if people that I knew in life were being tortured with fire for all eternity because of sins committed in the space of a life time. I don't think that hell is like that. I think that hell is a second death. Hell would be a place where people get what they deserve. God is perfect and torturing a person for millions of years is not a perfect thing.
The other thing is history. People burned other people alive in the name of Christianity. Again, burning a man because he knows Mars does not orbit Earth is something done by People not God. I have been allowing people to stop me from being a Christian.
Meeting God would be amazing and a feast for the mind, I could ask God what the core of Jupiter looks like and he could show me. I could ask what my ancestors were like and get an answer. I could ask to see other wonders of the universe and God could show me. Meeting the one all knowing perfect creator of the universe would be the most amazing thing in my existence. I would know that the creator is perfect and I would be given punishment that I deserve and it would be perfect justice from a perfect creator. If I am forgiven for my bad deeds then it would be from a perfect God that is able to forgive completely and pardon any retribution.
I must read the scriptures more and learn more about God. I will learn more about Jesus Christianity.
I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself.
