Part 2 10 step

*Declaimer* a lot of this blog is not doctorine or medation on a verse but oppion on what I think this is about and what my fellow ST. PAUL BIBLE STUDIERS THINK***

I am going to reveiw the 10 step:

1. Encounter the Gospel
2. Realize there is a God
3. Admit that it is not you
4. Acknowledge that Christ is God
5. Admit that you are in sin
6. Realize that you need a Savior
7. Repent and Reconcile
8. Believe in the Gospel
9. Change the way you live
10. Share the Gospel with others so theycan encounter it.


I want to say one thing, when we were at bible study. We talked about this, idea I didn't think of it as the rest of the people their (John Thomas, Jen Harig and Paul Dillick) did part of the reason is past life experinace, going to the new Green Campus of Parkside church. It wasn't a bad experince but you could only listen to this as a 10 things to do then your christen, and then you start believeing it. But Paul saw it diffrently, he said it was more of a guide to your life and how to livebit. More of a Circle, because think how many times we Go around this circle. Defantly 5-7 and then 9, I also think step 3 and 4. We do 4 all the time at mass. I can say that 3 is repeted in my life every day. In just the way that I am not God or a God, I am a sinner trying to be a saint.

Then next thing we talked about was step 10 and how hard for a lot of Catholics it is to do but to non Catholics it comes easy. I would say that it is because they practice that a lot, talking about their faith. Unlike a lot of young Catholics end up with a 2nd grade education in religion. I know if I was to compare myself to a non Catholic I would have about a 6th grade education of my faith. I feel that it is somthing the Lifeteen Program has done for me, With my non Catholic or even non religous friends I have been able to practice.

To talk a little bit more about the circle Idea, I think that non Catholics go though the circle a bunch of times in their lives and Catholics might only go though it once or twice. But it is not the times you go thought it or quanity but the quality in which you do it, think about it if you went though this process 100 times in your life but never put your full being into it. But then someone goes though it once but they put everything into it the quality is most important.

Somtimes Non Catholics like I have stated they use this as a 1 time 10 program. But like AA Alchohalics ana. it is a ever going process like how as Catholics we see slavation not like Baptist or other Protant sects see it as a one time process...

LOVE,
