Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

What To Know About The Christian Faith

By Jayde Johannsen


You will find that if you are looking for a religion, there are plenty that are waiting for you just outside your door. However, before you can really make up your mind on what you consider to be the truth, you have to get a decent idea about what these particular factions actually believe and consider to be the truth. For instance, you can start with the Christian faith.

Now, there is rather a lot to explain about this particular religion to be able to fully understand it. Due to space and time constraints, you will have to settle for the brief synopsis detailing some of the most important aspects of this religion and what has influenced so many people over the last several thousand years.

If you were to meet a Christian, they would tell you that they are servants of a "Risen Savior". The savior to whom they are referring is Jesus Christ, who was a man born of miraculous means some two thousand years ago. He lived on the earth for a mere 33 years, but made quite a major impact in that short amount of time.

In this time that he spent in the world, he was able to influence people everywhere he went through his stories, parables, miracles and personable attitude. He was born of a virgin, which allowed him to escape the corrupted nature of all men and women in the world traced back to original sin at the Garden of Eden. He would start off his life sinless and pure.

He would continue to live this life both sinless and pure. This is important because when he was arrested and killed for defying the religious leaders of the time, he was setting up what would be the sacrifice that would save all who believe. Because he was sinless, he was able to die and take all the sins of the world on his shoulders as the perfect pure atonement for the evil nature of men.

Three days later, Christ would rise from the dead, as the Bible describes. This was symbolic of a new life that all Christians could experience if they were to believe in and follow Christ completely. He ascended into Heaven with the promise that he would return, via the Rapture, to collect the believers and take them into glory.

Now you might not believe this, and that is purely up to you, but this is a belief structure that has lasted somewhere near two thousand years. The Christian faith is a testament to the retelling and remembrance of these events and the impact that it could have on people who believe it.
