"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline".

2 Timothy 1:7

sin
this was written...probably almost a year ago

a guy i knew in high school died a week or so ago. he o.d.'d....i knew that guy since like 7 or 8 yrs ago. we weren't close or anything but still. he couldn't have been older than 19 or 20.

seriously wtf...he didn't lead the most holy life or anything but still...he's dead..no second chances anymore...its scary as hell man...frik..bad pun...you know, i'm starting to see what's goin on in the world more and more these days. all the suffering...all the death..i used to be very interested in world events and national politics. since i became Christian ionno...maybe i just stopped caring...not that i really "cared" before...i sympathized n talked about some of the stuff i learned but i wasn't about to do anything about it. but for a good two years iv been consumed w/petty bs problems of my own...still am...but now i'm starting to see what's goin on again...hundreds of thousands of iraqi children r starving to death cuz of UN sanctions...muslim extremists r blowin ish up left n right.

and you know my friend said, this is all a result of sin...n its becoming a little clearer now...i don't mean that the guy that passed away, he was a big sinner and he got what he deserved. That's not true at all so get that trash out of your mind. and its not about oh, those sinful evil extremists or greedy capitalist business mofo's are sinning against those people so they suffer...s'not that either...we need to stfu w/this hypocritical self-righteous bull....but when God said sin leads to death he freakin meant it. sin isn't oops i broke the rule or oops didn't do my qt again or oops I'll make it better. what sin does you don't have in your power the ability to make it better. sin leads to the death of a formerly promising intelligent young man who got influenced in the wrong ways by a sinful society, who happened to make the wrong choices cuz of his own inherently sinful nature...freak man...its the same sinful nature you and i got...the rapes and the murders and the crying children who can't freakin eat a meal that we don't see and don't care about...that's the result of sin. so don't try to stop sinning just so you can be a good person cuz that's a waste of life. Don't hate it cuz breakin the rules is bad bad bad. realize that your and my sin is what's causing all this suffering and all this death and all this waste of life in the world. that is what sin is. sin is death.

amidst it all though..remember there's hope...one hope..but what a hope it is....for though i'v been having trouble believing it lately, the Lord of all will do right.
