I thought that Tuesday’s class was really interesting. The idea of how the church is at fault for a lot of the nation’s problems and how sin is possibly to blame for disasters that occur is interesting to me. It sounded to me that some people think that the church is to blame when bad things happen, that somehow if as Christians we did something better along the way things would be better. I don’t necessarily think that the church is to blame. I think that the church’s job is to take action in times of crisis, but preventing crisis? That isn’t always possible. Now don’t get me wrong there is so much corruption in the church that there is probably some truth to the idea. But for me I just can’t put the blame on the church.
P.S commented on Danielle's post with a title that said somethin about coffee.......
I agree! If we begin placing blame on the church for things happening in the world, where do we draw the line? That line of presumptive thinking will eventually lead down the slippery slope that ends with the point that everything in the world is the church's fault, and that all bad things could be prevented if the church acted right. No blame on the church in my eyes.
