complexity
wats the big deal abt being complex?..i juz dun get it..ppl view complexity as the highest form of human achievement that one can attain in one's enitre lifetime..they love spending time with similar ppl to talk abt the complexities of life..to learn and understand and to try to decipher why the universe is like that or y human beings act the way they do..
their favourtie pastime is to question..they love intellectul conversations..to give seemingly sophisticated answers that might wow those who hear them..they use big words to replace actions and feelings that can be so simple described with smaller ones..tranquility, perturb, indelible and wat not..wats the point?..seriously, it bores mi..and once ever so often, it disgusts mi..
i haf always reckon that man's greatest mistake is to complicate the simple things of god..and ive never felt more strongly abt this till now..y wana be so complicated?..so wat if u are complex?..does it give u a higher stature among ur frens?..maybe it does, but does it gives u higher stature among the many other believers in the eyes of god?..no..complexity cloudes ur views of god..it makes u question things that haf absolutely no need to question..wats so difficult in obeying god that u haf to question every single thing that he asks u to do?..
simplicity brings u closer to god than any amount of complexity can ever do..ironically, simplicity is the ultimate complexity..to attain complexity is simple, but to attain simplicity is complex..god, i wana be simple..
stop questioning, start doing.
one more thing..i dun understand y ppl like to question the law..they look consistently for loopholes in the law so that they can use the law to their fullest advantage..if they cant find any loopholes, den they start to come up with excuses to justify their actions..wats wrong with man?!..wrong means wrong..wrong means dun do!!..take for example underage drinking..its against the law..which part of LAW dun u understand?..the law is not juz set up by men, its by god..GOD for goodness sake..GOD our LORD..there are simply no excuses for such actions..furthermore, it tarnishes ur own credibility..wat if younger believers follow u?..can u afford to be responsible for them?..no, u cant..and u never will be able to..
be careful, however, that the exercise of ur freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak. for if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who haf this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, wont he be emboldened to eat wat has been sacrificed to idols? so this weak brother, for whom christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. when u sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against christ. therefore, if wat i eat causes my brother to fall into sin, i ll never eat meat again, so that i will not cause him to fall.
