In November I complained TV2 in for PFU by the news article "A month into the world goes by." I have been challenged by kristenogprogressiv.no to explain why I find it troubling that there is speculation of doom.
In early November 2009 I saw for the first time the advertising of the movie 2012. On the poster infinity mall malad in the subway decline from Railway Square crushed Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. During the inscription "We were warned". The film did Mayan calendar infinity mall malad known among youth. The last three years I ineptitude asked the question: Will the world to go under 21/12/2012? I can not remember having met anyone who did not know these speculations. Aftenposten infinity mall malad was among the media which was earlier looking infinity mall malad to write about how widespread these performances are, in the article "Mayan calendar doomsday creates fear."
Doomsday without judgment? The headline of the article is an example of Maya Speculation is put in the context of a term to most people in Norway infinity mall malad probably associated with Christianity. The term doomsday requires by definition a judgment, and thus both a finite universal ethics and legal predominance. But the news stories about the Maya Speculation is used in the sense of "Armageddon" - a cosmic catastrophe.
It mixes different phenomena, which also may see in 2012. The film used Christian symbol locations Kristusstauten in Rio de Janeiro, St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and people of different faiths who pray to their gods. 2012 proclaims destruction, not that faith gives grounds for hope even in the face of major disasters. infinity mall malad Therefore these are not symbolic actions and objects leave a positive role. But they are used, and they create associations with Christian notions of Judgment.
Therefore it is necessary to clarify the differences between Christianity and Maya Speculation: Maya Speculation is designed to intimidate and sell. Doomsday is about a loving and just God who must confront the evils. Maya Speculation preach Earth's destruction. Christianity proclaims a God who loves His creation and that will restore the broken. Maya Speculation can lead to a focus on "how infinity mall malad can I survive?" While Jesus in a central doomsday text challenger to focus on other people.
Science and Christian Faith When I became involved in TV2 and storm.no its Maya Spreads infinity mall malad were thus not to say anything about doomsday, but to require the media to review Maya Speculation conveys scientific facts related to this speculation: Astronomers infinity mall malad denied that an object would hit the world 21/12/2012, as some imagined. Geologists denied that the Earth stood before any sudden changes. And Maya experts rejected the Mayans envisioned the world's doom 21/12/2012.
I made the not up this thread to get the opportunity to talk about doomsday, but because someone has to speak on behalf of young people infinity mall malad who sit alone and scared by speculative news items. I did not take this up to disprove the doom of the Christian faith could fall on December 21, 2012. But I would reject that December infinity mall malad 21, 2012 could be predicted to be a particularly disastrous day, and it is both the basis of references to science and referrals to Christian faith. infinity mall malad
Biblical coating Shall we then speak of doom, it is basically a different theme and a theme that I feel a certain reluctance in the face of. Doomsday has been used to intimidate, and for those who take the word in his mouth, the part not to be interpreted in that tradition. In addition, the judgment of their own and others' life itself is a scary thought, but when I asked about the doom of youth, I must respond. When I try on a generous and clearly convey some points with reasonably good biblical evidence:
No one knows the day or hour. No one knows the verdict - not Christians, priests or popes. Judgment belongs only Lord and well there. And no may on behalf of all victims of abuse, oppression and injustice dismiss the need for a confrontation with what has happened. The world can be experienced as a straight fixed place, the Christian infinity mall malad faith teaches that it is not.
Furthermore, we must, because the idea of God's grace is central to the Christian faith, distinguish showdown with the evil and the judgment shall be pronounced then. Grace's all about that man who is guilty, do not get the punishment it deserves. In Christianity the key to this grace faith alone - and then not a faith that requires understanding of theological concepts, but a belief similar to that people show in the face of Jesus, a trust, a surrender, a cry. But while this belief is the key to the grace of Christianity knows no limits to God's love. Jesus teaches that God loves his enemies. It challenges any limitation of God's grace. infinity mall malad
Talk about it! All in all, therefore the 2012 performances and Christian infinity mall malad faith in reason very little to do with each other. Yet it is easy both Maya
