Perfect Chaos

Steven Colborne's Philosophical Theology Blog


Personal Update (31st May 2023)

It’s Wednesday evening. The last few days have been really eventful in ways I would find difficult to explain. God has been teaching me things and giving me experiences I had not anticipated. God does whatever He will. Even though He has told me I no longer need to worry about sin, I have realised that I still wish to live a pure and godly life. This seems sensible because I truly fear God’s power and His freedom to reward or punish as He pleases.

There must be good reasons why God gives instruction to flee from sin. And besides, worship is truly the highest joy on Earth, and God revealed in the Qur’an that He created jinn and mankind only to worship Him. So I plan to pursue my dream of establishing a multi-faith church, and while I needn’t fear the guilt associated with sin, I will try to live in accordance with the moral instruction of God as revealed in Scripture.

I suppose my decision is in line with Pascal’s Wager — knowing that God is all-powerful and that there will be a day of judgement, and on that Day God can choose to do whatever He will, it makes sense for me to try to be as godly in my conduct as possible, even if it makes no difference. After all, the whole purpose of Judgement Day is for justice to be done, and while the administration of justice is subject to the free will of God, my prayer is that He will allow me to live in such a way as that on that Day I will be saved and forgiven.

We have all sinned, but God is most forgiving and merciful. He is always ready to accept repentance.

“I’m here to worship You. That’s all I want to do.”
