VAMPIRES.
That's what non-believers are, isn't that wierd? I was reading the bible today earlier than usual, and I found this passage in John 3 19-21:

19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."[h]

It's pretty much what a vampire is, they hate the light, love the dark. Both (non-believers and vampires) are considered kinda evil (one by people, one by God). Eh eh eh. I'm wierd. Lets kill these vampires, put a stake through the heart, using our "wooden stakes" aka the salvation of God.
You know, there's a lot of metaphoric ways to represent our faith & christianly matters. Off the top of our head are:
  • vines.
  • harvest.
  • the words is the sword.
  • water.
  • fire.

This is a long post... and quite ramblish. But I'm reading the book of Exodus, and throughout the first couple chapters, it always says something like, if you commit a sin, and you didn't know it was a sin, you're not held accountable to preform a sacrifice until you know. It kinda stood out to me, how God is more than just one who examines facts, but really, who examines intent. Shows some more justice. (:

Parables: You know, how a lot of the people didn't get them, in the time of Jesus, they're pretty obvious to me. I guess I grew up with them and I knew, but it'd be interesting to test christians on their interpretations on parables. Brings up the thought, is God increasingly mainstream? Are we somehow changing through interpretations? Are these parables hidden throughout the media? I dunno.

hehe interesting point...

one comment tho...
oh the unintentional sin part, there WAS actually sacrifices that God did put into place for unintentional sins. It was called the 'day of atonement' where once a year, the high priest went into the holy of holies and sacrified to God for the unknown sins. Then they would send the goat out in the wilderness to atone for themselves.

God DOES look at intent, but what's more important is God's HOLINESS. That means that God cannot leave sins unpunished, even unknown sins.

your thoughts?
