Response to Christianity as a Counterculture.

Hey guys,

Here's just a couple of comments from a couple of other Christian blogs in response to the Christianity as a Counterculture post. I thought they made some valid points so reproduced here.

Exactly, nothing could be more alien to this world than the teaching of Jesus Christ. Who wants to forgive and love his enemy? I think, for example, the majority of people still favors death penalty and wants their offenders being killed only to continue the conflict and its resulting misery.

What an insanity.

Also, here was another eloquent post.

You're right, sirgawayne. According to Jesus, we are the salt and light in this dying world. He has called us to be different from this world and different from those who don't believe.

When people who are not believers look at us they should see Christ in us! Sure they may see us physically and see the personalities that God gave us, but beyond these they should see Jesus in us.

But is the average Christian today really that different from the culture they live in? I ask this because I see people who say they're Christians whose lives just don't match up. In fact, statistics tell us that divorce rates among Christians are just as high as non-Christians and pre-marital sex among Christians is growing higher every year. You are right, we have a wonderful opportunity to stand apart, to be the living counterculture, but are we letting that opportunity pass us by?

We need to make the choice to pickup our cross and follow Jesus. Come on believers! We've all made mistakes and messed up big, myself included. But 1 John 1:9 says we have a God that will forgive us of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness when we confess our sins to Him. So if there's anything between you and God, repent of it. Ask for forgiveness. And then make the choice to be that salt and light, that counterculture to a dying world.

We are the body of Christ. Let's live that way!

If you'd like to continue the discussion you can either leave a comment after the Counterculture post, or in the blogs4god discussion thread. I think these Christian bloggers have identified some extremely relevant examples and it would be a shame to let the discussion stop there.

blogs4god is awesome!

Hey reson8rs,

The recent Christianity as a counterculture post has just been listed as a popular post on the blogs4god website. In their own words they are:

a semi-definitive aggregation of of Christians who blog. This 'democritized' user-based ranking system differs from a 'Yahoo-like' hierarchical system in that submitted posts are then voted on by other blogs4God registrants. It is the hope that this free, 'digg-like' service will provide the Christian blogging community with a showcase of the best content that can be heard above the white noise generated by the blogosphere on the whole.

It's exciting because it means that some of the stuff here may actually be worth reading and sharing :). Anyway, if you're looking for quality Christian content, and a useful networking tool, go and check blogs4god out, and join. While you are there, add me as a friend, and if you dig what's being written, then vote so we can keep gaining exposure.

Reson8rs @ the ends of the earth, changing the world around them...
