God and the Ten comandments

What I thought would be a quick post is takeing longer then expected I am still working on it though. In the mean time their is this post to read.

For thouse of you who know me, you know I am heaverly intersted in politics. So that coment is nothing new, any way I am doing this course with ran by FOCUS in hobart on the bible and politics. We are made in the image of God and have been given some Authorty to rule over all creation the question is as Christians what does this rule over look like and do we still have this Authority these are a few questions I hope to deal with and write about within the next few weeks.

The first sesion in this course has confermed some thing I have long thought, God's Law and the Ten Comandments, can not be inforced on its citizems by any goverment this is for verious reasens every attempt through the old testerment has failed. The book of romans sugest that the only time we can live under the such a rule is in the kingdom that christ will bring. Various verses in Romans suport this idea.

Going on to my own thouyghts know

In the broader context christians are called to go forward and carry the good news, does this fit into the role a christian politions has to if it is not to enforce the law and do christians have role in politics at all?

Some how I believe yes as we called to stand up for the weak and vonerable, we are called to be the light and salt to relfect gods glory and politics is one of the stages this can be done on.

What to include and what not to include?

How many of your deepest emotions and secrets do you include when bloging? As there is a challenge in wanting to write the truth and wanting to protect people, from being hurt or not wanting to create messy situations?
For various reasons I have made the decision not to hold any thing back in my blog’s so I am sorry if the truth as seen through my eyes hurts any one or makes peoples life’s difficult. Perhaps it may open some peoples eye’s up wider or perhaps no-one will read it. But a testimony is nothing if we just choose what to add.

So other the next few days I will add posts on love, and a few other things.

O-Week o what a week ? What can I say cheap grog and mates that I have not seen in 4 months. Unfortanterly I have given in to temtation 1 or 2 or 4 or more times this week. I have not been much light or salt, more a diming relfection of light a glimpse of what should be.

Spose least Jesus offers us forgiveness. I thank him for being a refiner but I wish he would work in me quicker so that I can reflect more of him and less of me.
