YOU NEVER KNEW HOW IT COULD BE
WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE FREE
THEN YOU MET AT YOUR HEART'S DOOR
THAT'S WHEN HE CAME INTO YOUR LIFEYOU ALWAYS KNEW THAT THERE WAS A REASON
YOU NEEDED SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD BELIEVE IN
IT'S A FAITH WALK
WITHOUT FAITH YOU CAN NEVER KNOW CHRIST
TO COME TO HIM YOU MUST BELIEVE
IT'S A FAITH WALKKEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS CHRIST
HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE HIS LIFE
HE FREED US ALL FROM ALL OUR SIN
HE'S OUR EXAMPLE, LOOK TO HIM!

I am heartened that you do not propose that the only way to Heaven is through an individual human being or some other object.
> KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS CHRIST
In Jesus of Nazareth, I do. He had wisdom beyond his years.
> HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE HIS LIFE
Like so many others who freed us from tyranny.
According to the Trinity, I guess so. I can't help to believe that the Father is the first and the last. In between lies the Universe and all of its miraculous Glory. In between lies us.
> HE FREED US ALL FROM ALL OUR SIN
So sin, we may? I don't understand what you mean here.
> HE'S OUR EXAMPLE, LOOK TO HIM!
In Jesus of Nazareth, I do. There are fewer better.
I don't know if that makes me Christian or not. I am resistent to the notion that there is divine intervention. I don't think God likes to break his own rules. I believe that all of the Universe was set into motion at the moment of creation. Just like a break in the game of pool, the path of every ball was determined by a single master shot. In this is the paradox. If you were to follow a path determined in advance of your birth, you must surely be where you belong in the moment.
I was meant to walk my own path as I seek it out in freedom of thought.

I think all Christians would agree with me if i said that though Christianity seems at first to be all about morality, all about duties and rules and guilt and virtue, yet it leads you on, out of that, into something beyond. One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of those things, except perhaps as a joke. Everyone there is filled full of what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light. But they do not call it goodness. They do not call it anything. They are not thinking of it. They are to busy looking at the source from which it comes.

I like that.
