Faith

[Rick C. Hodgin]

If I could change one thing, it would be to dissociate the idea of faith
from virtue - now and for good - and to expose it for what it is: a
servile weakness, a refuge in cowardice, and a willingness to follow, with
credulity, people who are in the highest degree unscrupulous.

I, the real Rick C. Hodgin, did not write the post I'm quoting.
It is written by a coward named Leigh Johnston who likes to parody
my posts with his anti-Christ rhetoric. He teaches people false
things and piles upon his own head punishment that he cannot even
imagine. It breaks my heart to see.

Examine the headers and see the difference. I only post from Google
News, or Eternal September, and from Indianapolis, IN.

To address his false teaching:

Jesus teaches us the way things are, not the way sin allows
us to only understand, which is to say not just the ways we
see here in this world with our eyes, and understand with
our minds which understand this world. There is more.

What God teaches us is that He created us for a purpose,
and that He has a plan for our lives. Those plans are be-
yond the confines of this world, and are eternal plans,
and are based on things our sin prevents us from seeing
or understanding, which are spiritual things.

But if you come to Jesus and ask forgiveness for your sin,
He opens up your understanding and reveals those portions
of your existence you could not yet know while your sin
remained.
