Carrying your cross (Metaphor)

Some pictures I found on the internet about carrying your cross.

If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also.

LUKE 9:23

(Amplified Bible)

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

But you're missing the most interesting part of the story...where Jesus helps him across, since even a life of good choices is not enough to get you in to heaven, and the Good News is that God forgives.

@Lightmane321 The only way we have a chance of finding out the "truth" is by looking at evidence. I can see absolutely no evidence of the existence of a "god", however, I do see, time and time again, so-called religious people denying all the evidence in favour of "faith" and dogma. Faith is to believe in something despite all of the evidence to the contrary. As our knowledge increases and we learn more about the universe, this dogma has been exposed to show that it has no basis in reality.

@Nilguiri isn't it amazing how many christians think they've got it figured out? LOL

I'm a christian too, but I'm also a sinner & my knowledge is full of errors. Now if I knew which beliefs were wrong, then I'd change them. That's why I listen & try to learn. Some christians however, think they've found the secret truth, etc... how sad

Yes being pro gay marriage is in conflict with christianity, but that is the fault of christians to believe in that bigoted nonsense.

What about wearing mixed fibres or eating shellfish, is that right or left wing?

Of course, these bigoted morons just pick and choose to follow the bits that suit their character. If they are intolerant bastards who just hate homosexuals, they are delighted to find that the bible has something to say on the matter.

@queenofunderland

Your comment looks like it should make sense; it has nouns and adjectives, etc, but it is total and complete nonsense!

You know, (oh boy) that you people spouting that gibberish sound absolutely ridiculous to normal, sane people.

[queenofunderland]

You know,(o boy) , that the cross is the only way to go through river of death FINALLY to heaven?

Do you know, with which price each carry the cross?

You know, that all people is responsible to be built as Ekklesia, but also to live exemplarily before LORD HIMSELF?

Kingdom of heaven, when it completely comes to earth, is about the justice of the Lord. Every person that dont want to carry their cross will cry at the end before Lord, there of course no one can help him anymore.

Great message.....God bless you for putting this message on line

[Nilguiri]

Yes, I do realize that. I suppose I was just being deliberately pedantic and provocative.

We all have our own cross to bear. One person's cross may not someone else's. Meaning, what you are struggling with, may not be the same thing the other person is struggling with..

[Lightmane321]

I agree with you in part.  The right is hypocritical. They proved that and we kicked them out. However, is the left any better? They are (for the most part), pro-choice, pro-gay marriage. 2 issues that are in conflict with christianity. They embrace liberalism. Most atheists are liberal or on the left. Why? The right shouldn't be hypocritical. Should we be surprised that 'we' are? I'm not. It's human nature - christian or not.
