Christianity isn't about having to go to church or not lie etc. It's about knowing and loving God. When you truly know God in your heart, you want to be truthful. You want to go to church (well, depending on the church). When you know God, you learn of the joy of following him :)

And it's about a journey of accepting when you do lie or not spend time with God, and being loved and accepted by God regardless of our flaws.

I think it's a lot easier for modern people to imagine that Jesus is always with us..

Because so many things are always with us now. Pretty much anywhere in the world, you still have the same internet, you can still log into tumblr 'unto the ends of the earth'.

So in the same way, we can access God's love and companionship regardless of our physical location

Celtic Christianity so so cool!

"They are unusual people: dedicated, and full of the Holy Spirit. They are also sometimes anti-social, quirky, and plain obstinate. They love remote islands, where they can contemplate the Creator through the creation - sun, moon and stars, winds and frost, mountains and seas and forest, birds and fish and great seals. They bless freely, and they curse freely. They lived plainly, and prayed much."

-Prof. Kathleen Jones on the Celtic Saints

Definitely my favourite flavour of christianity.

Cool Philosophy of Christianity Moments

Guys look at this bit in a philosophy paper I'm reading:

The result of God’s eternity is that in respect of time God can be more present with regard to a human person Paula than any other contemporary human person Jerome can be. As regards Paula, her contemporary Jerome can be present only one time slice after another. When Paula is thirty years old, for example, neither her three-year old self nor her sixty-year old self are available to Jerome. But eternal God is present at once to every time of Paula’s life; none of Paula’s life is ever absent or unavailable for God.

Man I love this subject. You'll be studying metaphysics and hard logic puzzles thousands of years old right alongside Aquinas, and then bam! They hit you with a reminder or God's awesomeness.

God is not just with you now... from His perspective, He is with 60 year old you and 6 year old you, right now. God has got you. At every moment of your life. He holds it all in His hands.

bless you all
