Amazon rocks my world! Smartphones should be an unalienable right in our constitution. I may even upgrade to this Amazon phone from my current $10 flip phone. Now all that Amazon needs to do to make me completely satisfied is integrate Goodreads with Kindle Fire and my new smartphone. Almost heaven here on earth ……but the ebook Bible I bought from Amazon says that God’s Heaven is better than anything man can imagine.

Some Christians claim that they hear God‘s voice directly and that God tells them what to do specifically in every aspect of their life. This belief is dangerous because it leads them to believe that they are infallible and in essence they become their own God. Soon they begin to tell other people how to live their life and it is usually apparent that they have ulterior motives. Pentecostal TV evangelists usually fall into this category but average Christians can also be seduced by this attractive sin.
All human beings are fallible so don’t believe the excrement that is troweled out by these misguided Christians. The basic concepts of the Bible are easily understood by reading the New Testament. People should not give up their personal freedom just because a voice in another person’s head told them they should do a specific action. Religious manipulation of other people is disgusting and you should never let it happen to you. The principles of the Bible are the only totally reliable guide for your personal life. Voices in your head may be seductive but that doesn’t mean that God is speaking directly to you.
I went to a Church service today and my family sat in the back row. Some man came up to us and said that the Pastor at the Church hated “Back Row Baptists”. How unfortunate that this misguided person had to spoil an excellent Church service. I hope and pray that he gets a little closer to Jesus before he ruins the services for other people.
