Larry’s Log

I have no problem with people who claim to be agnostic. Lord knows I’ve been there and still find myself wondering at times. Still I consider myself a devout Christian who can recite the Apostle’s Creed with conviction.
Atheists, however, are another matter. I don’t dislike them I just can not fathom how anyone can say, […]

This past week I’ve been talking to some friends about God. One of my friends wanted to know how I rationalized other gods to my own. It’s fairly easy. I’m a monotheist. There is only one God so the other gods he’s speaking of must just be different names for my God. He wasn’t very […]

There are some things I believe.

I believe in the Big Bang theory in that the universe exploded into being from a singularity.
I believe that all life on earth evolved into what it is now from a primordial soup over millions of years.
I believe that all the universe and all that is in it came into […]

My friend, Dan, found an article that he termed about the problem with Christian Identity from the perspective of those who aren’t. I read the article and I have to agree with it. When someone calls themself a Christian I have to take them at their word regardless of their deeds. It goes back to […]

The Gospel of John, Chapter 1:
1 In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone.
5 […]

Joe was a fervent believer in prayer. Every day, two or three times a day he would ask God to please let him win the lottery. Ten years went by and Joe did not win the lottery.
One day in his prayers he called out to God, saying, “Lord, I know you answer prayers I’ve seen […]

This weekend has been very busy and very hectic and it all revolved around Church activities. Saturday morning I was up and at my church around 7:45am where I met with and had breakfast and took communion with well over one hundred fellow members of my church. This was deemed “One Great Day of Service” […]

I recognize that Islam is made up of people and that some will be violent by nature and some will be peacful by nature and that both groups can find justification in their Koran for their violent or peaceful nature. It’s the same with my religion, Christianity. I also recognize that when outsiders point out […]

My friend Cat is a pagan. I don’t understand the draw to that religion but then that should be expected because I’ve found my religion and I’m very comfortable with the relationship it affords me to my God. I don’t understand the draw to Islam or Hinduism either. I’m sure none of the practitioners of […]

Joh 3:1-6

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said […]

Yesterday I asked if you would live your life any differently if you were faced with absolute proof that there was no god. I was asking that from my perspective as a Christian. I know some of you, my readers, are atheists and some are agnostic and some are believers, just not in the Christian […]

Okay, here’s yet another question for you. If you were faced with absolute proof that there was no God, no afterlife and (assuming you are a Christian) that Jesus was just a myth would you change anything about your life? Would you reject the current values you are living or would you continue following those […]

Here’s a question for you. What does the following bible verse really mean?
Mat 10:14 And whoever will not receive you, nor will hear your words, having gone out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
I think it sets limits. I think it tells me I am to tell people […]

For some reason when people point out natural phenomenon as explanations for miracles in the Bible it just reinforces my faith in those Bible stories. I think the reason is that, while I freely admit a belief that God can perform acts of magic, natural phenomenon occuring at the time it is needed is far […]

My friend, Cat, notices a difference between the way men and women think about organization. She is a member of a pagan community that, from what I can tell, is a very attractive alternative to organized religion to many of its members. It seems, though, that the men want to organize the community while the […]
