This won't be a long post. I just want to air my frustration over all the attention this Travis Scott thing is getting.
I don't know what happened or didn't happen because I wasn't there. I do know that some of you have a lot more to worry about than what I keep calling "The Travis Scott Thing".
First, some bullet points from my Christian perspective:
- There is a supernatural world.
- There is demonic activity happening in this world - and that ain't new.
- If you believe in ghosts, hauntings, zombies, UFOs, etc, but don't believe that there is a Satan/Lucifer/whatever, you are either blind, delusional, or not a critical thinker.
- While Satan/Lucifer/whatever is not the equal of God, he is the Opposer.
- If there exists Good and Evil and Right and Wrong (and we know that is true), then there are reasons for that.
- As a person, you have a soul and your soul has a destiny.
People like to ask Christians to explain and prove that there is a God. That can be (and has been) done with the proven life of Jesus - Son of God. Jesus' life and death have been proven the same way as has been done with the lives and deaths of other historical figures. You never met Shakespeare, Plato, etc but you believe they existed.
For Christians, there are fulfilled prophecies Many of those prophecies and their fulfillment can be shown with secular archeology, writings, and other artifacts of history. Israel becoming a nation in 1948 is one you can start with.
Now, if you can explain and prove (without emotion) that there is no God, please do so.
Prove that there is no demonic activity. Prove that there is no supernatural. And don't prove any of this for me. I have my answers. Prove it for yourself.
One of the many, many videos posted by people who attended the Travis Scott Thing, was one by a young man who was seriously shook by the experience. He seemed to be understanding for the first time that there is a demonic realm. I take it from the several f-bombs in his statement that he is not living the Christian life. I have a feeling he will be doing some soul-searching in the days to come.
One young woman stated in her video that although she doesn't believe in God, she found herself praying to Him as she was almost crushed or suffocated by the surging crowd. I wonder if she is realizing anything about death or eternity now?
So this Travis Scott Thing isn't about anything new. Not to me and many Christians. I just hope that, since the tragedy did happen, it will give people a reason to reconsider what they believe.
Don't have "conversations" with people about this Travis Scott Thing. Try having a conversation with yourself. A serious and thoughtful conversation. Then maybe you will want to talk to God about your soul.
