Food For Thought

[WIP]

Occasionally, I like to tune in to a morning program on the Catholic Channel on SiriusXM, channel 129, called, "Seize the Day." The host of the program, Gus Lloyd, often includes what he titles his, "60 Second Reflections" and yesterday he asked the question (I'm paraphrasing a little), "Suppose you found yourself as a defendant in a court of law, charged with being a Christian. Would the prosecution have enough evidence to prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?"

I thought it was good food for thought.

"Suppose you found yourself as a defendant in a court of law, charged with being a Christian. Would the prosecution have enough evidence to prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?"

I suppose if the intent was to seek to condemn me for being a Christian, yes, they would find sufficient evidence. If the intent was to condemn me for being a hypocrite, they would also find sufficient evidence to condemn me. The point being, whatever it is that the world seeks to condemn professing Christians about, whether it's for being a Christian, or being a hypocrite, the world has a way of finding the evidence they need to get the outcome they are seeking.

3I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.
1 Corinthians 4:3-4

Unless you confessed to being a Christian, I don't see how. But if being a Christian were ever made a crime, I doubt they would care about evidence.

Oh, you mean like Democrats.

Oh, you mean like Democrats.

Or like the Inquisition.
