The usage of BIBLE

I wrote this sometime ago in HAVE FAITH site... but never saw the post...Received email from the team admin saying that it will take a day or two before it got published. I waited so long and never saw this post got published. I dont know who moderated it. So i decided not to write for Have Faith anymore, until just now when I found that my post actually got published but it was the only post that was set to be private. Again I wonder who was the moderator and what was the meaning of all this.Maybe it was a mistake.SO I guess I should start writing for Have Faith after all....But first thing first and I am gonna post this in my sight..I think somehow this is my most structured post ever, plus it was helluva task to write without any curse. I guess I should start refining the way I write..Any way here it is :

Here we are sitting in the dark, middle of the night feeling so depressed, so miserable as if the world has come to an end, or at least for us who are sulking..I am not ashamed to admit I am on of them even till today…So what do we do when we are in heart ache…People like me know of one best option only..to read the BIBLE, hoping that some soothing verse could come across..Truth be told, every verse in the bible is soothing, but often when we are miserable we only want to look into the answer that we want to hear rather then the answer that is actually served..The best part about reading what we like is that, we do not exactly want it to sooth ourselves, but often to attack others and justifying ourselves. Yeap without doubt that is the case.

But the truth is bible is to be used to safeguard us, to guide us and to deliver us from evil, not to attack others.The bible is meant to be as a tool of love.How can anyone in their right mind use it to attack others unless of course some sadist people would like to look at “attack” as a form of love as well…

I wonder perhaps thats the reason why Catholic churches try to restrict people from growing on their own by dwelling in the bible. They prefer the idea of them teaching it as the bishops or other higher authorities do consider themselves to be at the right place to educate people.And of course they also recommend other scriptures unlike Protestant churches.

Protestant churches depend solely on the teaching of the bible and bible alone..but they do encourage people to read and grow as the believers may find it fit. That’s the problem why Catholic churches want to curb. We are only humans, and humans are fragile and emotionally bound..For we will use our emotions to represent the verses..When one could use the verse in a different way, other will be able to use it in another way.

Its fine as long as one knows how to use it well..Jesus didn’t say that there is only one meaning to the verses in bible..But then again whatever meaning that we may derive comes from the heart to shape the person we are today. Whatever perspective we are looking it from, it is never ever and should never ever be used to attack others. Knowing the weakness that we humans posses, Catholic churches must have been long before to centralised the learning so that people may grow together as one light and shadow. Think about it, if everyone has the same teachings then perhaps there wouldn’t be much of a collision course among us. But nevertheless it also limits to one’s personal growth getting closer to God..If we are ought to move within limitations, sooner or later we will tend to loose out on many abundance God has to provide, since the limitations gets us on a slow ride when we are in hunger for more..Eventually being weak beings, we will rather break loose from all those limitations in the name of freedom..Protestant church wants to feed us as much as infinitely possible to know and get closer to God.

So who shall we follow now…The answer my friends is within us…We decide who do we belive in..We move from there focused on learning what we want to know and what we search…Along the way, what we learnt is for the best of us and not for the worse of any others..Its not to justify our actions, nor it is to condemn others…It is plainly to help us learn what we want…Amen….

There is a reason why I wrote such a post. Unlike every other christians I have seen who tend to say much on god's greatness, I simply adapted the idea of showing men's weakness in following the way of the great one. Somehow I am just trying to say that it is us who fail us and not HIM due to our very own complications and differences in ideologies. I also felt that if any one going to get attached to something, they might as well see the defects of it rather than the greatness of it to avoid disappoinment when expectations goes beyond definition. There is time and limitations for everything. Patience is virtue as much have said before...I reckon if we learn to live with the defects, then we will sure be able to appreciate the little blessings showered every now and then instead of being ungrateful and greedy....More posts like this ought to come hopefully.....

Can you hear it.....the echoes of realmz....
