Consistency

The word of the day is consistency.

First of all, I admire the consistency of Christianity. Despite objections, criticism, etc. from skeptics: we have an answer to every facet of life. If we base our answers off of biblical principles, we remain wholly consistent in our world view. Atheism cannot make this claim. Their world view shifts from person to person and is largely subjective. Objective truth can only be found through God.

So why the Christian God? Why not the god(s) of a different religion? Do they not all have the same truth? It is politically correct to accept all religions as true. This is beyond stupid. Religions are mutually exclusive, they denounce one another. It is a fool's dream to believe that all of the religions can live side by side in perfect harmony. Someone ends up compromising their beliefs.

Despite the number of authors, the Bible is remarkably consistent. The Bible has stood the test of time and stands as truth (despite all of "science"'s effort to prove it unreliable). People may differ on interpretation, but objective truth can be found there. Archaeological evidence continues to demonstrate that the Bible is true.

And what of you? It is funny. Despite knowing all these things about Christianity, the Bible, and God... I still find myself immature as a Christian. My faith is so lacking. I need to become a more disciplined, consistent disciple of Christ.
