In the Beginning. . .

So, if by the title you assumed I was going to talk about the book of Genesis or something, you were too quick to think. Although, genesis has something to do with my first blog. I have breathed the words, then I actually made it happen. Sometimes, I breath the words, then because of my lack of divinity, nothing actually happens. For instance, I'm going to start my homework early this week. . . Like that is going to happen. Its funny how easy it is to say, and then not do. Like whats the point to saying what we know we aren't going to do. I know I am totally guilty of doing this, but I am just wondering why its so common. Jesus predicted his death 3 times. Every time he did, someone would pipe up and say, "Hey no you ain't Jesus! (the disciples also had bad grammar) We are just getting started here." One time, the argument got so intense, Jesus called Peter "Satan" of all things. Now, if I remember right, Peter ends up starting the church, adding 3,000 to it in a day, heals people with his shadow, becomes the first pope, and so on (and with credit to the other apostles as well.) Anyhow, Peter definitely wasn't Satan. So, should be calling ourselves Satan when we go back on our word or try to make others go back on their's. Of course there are certain circumstances where we should go back on our word, but what about when we say one thing and do another. It reminds me of the Pharisees. They were the ultimate say-one-thing-and-anotherers. As Christians, we are sometimes labeled as hypocrites. Say one thing and do another is the exact definition of hypocrite. So, lets take a step back, and see why we are being called Pharisees by everyone else. Lets show the world another way of living, not just another way of talking.
