ok so i realize that you may have read the story a thousand time. its on of Jesus's parables of a master who leaves one of his best workers to take care of things while he is away. if the servent takes care of things just like he should everyday he will be rewarded for he does not know when his master will be returning, because everything will be inplace when he has come home. At the same time if the servent doesn't keep things in order he may put things in shabbles for when his master comes home. when the master gets home he will be severly punished and thrown out of the masters house. the servent will be even more punished because he knew what he was suppost to be doing. "Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." Luke 12:48 now that makes me wonder are those who have more knowledge going to be punished more then those who are not as smart. given what is my question. it could really be anything. could it be those who were given the knowledge of Jesus and refused it are going to have a worse fate in Hell then those who never heard his name preached and never heard the good new. because they are in hell because there was no hope for them. no chance of them learning about him.
ok so here is were i get on my soap box. it is our fault as christians that they never heard because we never taught. we could be out there learning there language and getting these people a bible instead we stay in our comfort zones where no one judges us well even if they do its only a few people not a whole nation. or maybe were not scared of all the work but to lazy to throw your self into a new culture a new way of life something that you would never do here why would you do it there. personally i think the reason that there are some many athiests today is because of christians. how many times have we done something that we knew we shouldn't do or said something bad about someone else even when we knew that was against everything that we were taught and raised to know. just so someone wouldn't call us out and make fun of use because we were different. how many times have we hidden behind our masks just so that some one couldn't see the real us. if everyone just broke past there mask a was them selve at leave 51% of them selves we could really change some perseptions of christians. now don't get me wrong im not perfect either and i am ashamed in the fact that i have fallen short and become a hypocrite to many and turned them away from god i am not proud of that but i am moving on moving past the old me on to the new me. who will strive to learn more about this god i serve and just hunger and thirst for this word all the time. i mean it won't be easy by any chance. but it will be easier then excplaining to someone that i am witnessing to why i can't stay away from sin. i realize that sin follows us and it is in our nature to sin and fall away but if we push our way forward and make us stand up i really don't think it would be that hard.
God knows that we fall and he promises to keep picking us right back up. he may not be happy about it he may in fact be really angry about it. but he will keep on doing it.
sorry that was a bit longer then i intended
love and peace
