the sword of the spirit
09.23.2004 at 2:36 a.m.

i got into an argument tonight. i guess you could call it an argument, i`m not really sure.

my friend called me with one of her jewish friends on the phone. he began to tell me how the bible was fake and jesus was never ressurected.

my reply back: "how can you say the bible isn`t real? i refuse to believe people from thousands of years ago knew the exact things that were going to happen that are happening now.".

that whole thing greatly upset me because i love Jesus with all of my heart and i can`t stand it when someone bad mouths him. especially one of his own people. how can anyone say that he was never ressurected? or that he wasn`t the messiah?

you know it`s people like jeremy who are going to be fooled when the antichrist and numerous other false prophets come in the name of Jesus and claim to be him. they`ll follow them everywhere and perish in the end. it`s so sad. it literally makes me want to cry.

and you know i blame myself for part of it, because maybe if i knew more scripture and more about how everything happened, i could of maybe of changed his outlook on things.

i never really knew what it meant to "put on the full armor of God". to be armed with the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. now i do.

maybe this was an eye opening situation that`s a sign for me to read more of the bible, take it in, understand it, memorize it, and take it with me wherever i go.

Lord, if i said anything that wasn`t of you, or in the way you would of handled things, please forgive me and give me a greater understanding of you and your word, so that in other similar situations and even greater ones, i`ll be able to overcome them by and through you. amen.
