The problem with Christian perspective.

     We all have opinions.  We know those who believe their opinion is the only right one.  Sometimes our opinions are the only right ones...or so we think.  Little do we know that when we come to the area of opinions that our opinions don't really count that much.  Let me give you an example.  In my opinion, the rapture should happen now and you wouldn't even finish reading this unless you weren't a Christian.  My reasons are selfish.  I want to go home and be with Jesus.  There is not much that is a draw for me to choose to stay here when I can go there.  God's opinion is that Jesus will return when he determines that to happen and not a nanosecond sooner.  Why?  Because there are still people who need to come to know Jesus.  My opinion would have resulted in people lost.  His opinion is that those people are worth the wait.  Opinions are choices we make that affect not only areas of our lives but also those of our family, friends and enemies.  We are told to love them all.  The problem is we don't do so in the Christian perspective.  What we do is try to make God, in our opinion, fit into our perspective denying Him access to people.  My opinion sucks!
     The Christian perspective today is the same as it's always been.  God is love and we are to be that love to the world we are visiting without constraint.  The perspective that gets us into trouble isn't the constraints that are manufactured according to our will, but rather placing them above the love of God.  Who do we think we are?  God?  Well, I do know some people who think they are god.  You do as well.  Okay, I admit it!  I've played god to my world a lot!  There I said it.  I've been outside of God's perspective of what a Christian is every time I choose me instead of Him.  That's sin.  My picking and choosing (like yours) of who I will love and how I will love shouldn't be about me.  It should be about God and his relationship with mankind through the life and work of his Son, Jesus. Look around you.  What do you see.  All the lonely people looking back at me.  All the lonely people.  Where do they all come from?  The Beatles sang this song.  It could have been written and sang by John the Baptist.  The cry of mankind's heart is the same now as it was then.  The Christian perspective either cares about the separation between man and God or it doesn't. 
     Some people have told me (even in writing) that my up front, in your face, writing style is hypocritical because I'm no better than anyone else.  They are, of course, right.  That fact (and it is a fact) doesn't lessen the Scripture.  My perspective, like theirs, lessens the Scripture.   God doesn't want that anymore than he wants to see people choose an eternity in hell.  When I make my choice based on my perspective and opinion, I'm wrong.  When I make my choice based on God's perspective and opinion, I'm right.  Whether or not you live a perfect life, your words, thoughts and deeds tell God whether or not you believe that He is God.  There's that harsh perspective again.  Show me where in the Scripture you or I have been given the right to be the god of our world.  It doesn't exist.  The Christian perspective of defining Christianity according to our whims, biases, and prejudices are counter God's perspective.  The problem we face is submitting our free will to God and allowing him to fully live through us.  That's the Christian perspective from God's point of view.  How do I know?  I read the Bible.
