The Limits of Modern Christianity.

when I wrote this draft, I had gotten this lengthy letter about how Calvinism is wrong about predestination. I personally didn't even read it. Why? Because the letter wasn't about what God says.. it was a reaction to a belief. I don't care whether you believe that God has predestined some to hell, or if you believe you can lose your salvation.
During the last couple years as I have mingled with other Christians I've noticed the trend towards doctrinal division. Yes, it's very important to have beliefs and to have standards, but what is alarming and so wrong about this trend is the way it is influenced by our very human nature.
Why did this one person respond so vehemently against predestination? Why is losing your salvation upheld so strongly? Why do we as Christians take our interpretations of scriptures that has puzzled far wiser and Godlier Christians and shout that our view is correct? We may even shun those who dare to believe differently. But why do we behave this way?
My opinion, and I ask each of you to search your heart for the reason for the strivings among us, is that we are reacting with our human nature to things we hope that couldn't be true.
When confronted with a God that could condemn people to hell and not even give them a chance, we claim, that's not God, My God is fair. Predestination has to be wrong. We search the scriptures to back our views up because we small-mindedly believe we have a small God who can't be so unfair as to choose some over others.
We say that God doesn't do miracles today, because we don't see it today and because it doesn't match up with what we see. Our faith is defined by what we see.
We say that people can lose their salvation, because we cannot comprehend a God who could be so merciful and so loving to never let us go when we spit in His holy face and mock Him. Why? Because our human nature has once again put God into a box shaped by human hands. Our faith is not a Can-Do faith, it's a faith of Can't. The reason we don't fully understand and live for God is because we gave up and we limited God before we even started!
My God not only did all those miracles in the Bible, he's capable of doing it today. He condemned without second thoughts mass genocide because they disgusted him. His Holiness is so powerful and so righteous that anything He does is right. He chooses what He will do despite what we as frail humans say He does.
My God is so deep that I will never say what He can't do.. or what I cannot do through Him.
I believe that my God is so multifaceted that I will never be able to fully explain Him, and that someone else standing next to me can get a different view of Him.
What matters the most is not my fellow brothers doctrine, but that he loves God, that he lives for God. All that matters is Jesus. Let us see what we can do, not what others can't.
