Dear Subscribers, and people who landed on this blog via Contradict Movement,
I am currently making a push to finish writing the book, Contradict – They Can’t All Be True. Right now, I am sitting at about 140 single-spaced pages in Word. I have about 2.5 chapters left to write. Until, the first draft is finished, I won’t have any new posts to this blog.
Please pray that I finish the first draft soon and I can get the book published as soon as possible.
The good news is that the sticker is definitely generating conversations. I hope the book will help further the depth of future Contradict kickstarted discussions.
Peace in Christ,
Andy Wrasman
Hi Andy — my name is Mary and I work for a ministry called truthXchange which is located in north San Diego County. I’m not sure whether you know of our work or my boss, Dr. Peter Jones who is an author and scholar in residence with Westminster Seminary CA? I randomly saw one of the contradict bumper stickers as I was driving to work today and was intrigued (never been so glad to get cut off in my life!!). That’s how I found your website. I’m sorry to lay this on you right as you’re working to finish your book. But I wonder whether you’d have some time to chat in the next week or so? I’d love to know more about your work and ministry, etc. It’s amazing to find this so randomly and then to find you’re in our same neck of the woods (approximately)! My email address is mary at truthxchange dot com, and I really do hope you’ll get in touch!

I’m offended that you elect your preferred religion as “true in its entirety” and dismiss many other religions as containing “only aspects of truth.” There were 2.18 billion Christians in 2010, which leaves roughly 66% of the global population that are either not religious or not Christian.
If we are judged after death, we will be judged on whether or not we followed our internal consciences, not on whether we live our lives according to lost in translation truths parsed from ancient texts.
What makes you certain that we’ll be judged on whether or not we followed our internal consciences? How can you be sure if you’ve followed your conscience well enough? Has God in some way revealed this to you?
Do you realize that Christianity is an exclusive religion? That it does teach that Jesus is the only way to salvation? Do you realize that other religions like Islam are also exclusive? If Islam is true, then as a Christian, I am screwed. If Hinduism is true, than as a Christian, I’ll have a very rough next life, and maybe even take many lives to recover.
Be blessed Andy in your calling and brave stance in this very dark time in our world:
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray and confess that the Spirit of the Lord-
the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge – shall rest upon Andy. We pray that as your Spirit rests
upon Andy, He will make him of quick understanding because You, Lord, have anointed and
qualified him to preach the Gospel. You have sent Andy to bind up and heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the physical and spiritual captives, and to open the prison and the eyes to those who are bound.
Andy shall be called the priest of the Lord. People will speak of him as a minster of God.
We pray and believe that no weapon that is formed against Andy shall prosper and that any tongue that rises against him in judgement shall be shown to be in the wrong.
We confess that Andy holds fast and follows the pattern of wholesome and sound teaching in all faith and love,which is for us in Christ Jesus. Andy guards and keeps with the greatest love the precious and excellently adapted truth entrusted to him by the Holy Spirit who makes His home in Andy.
Thank you, Lord, for the added strength which comes superhumanly that You have given him.
Thanks for the prayer. Those are very specific prayers and prayers that can not be remotely construed to be answered in anyone’s life apart from the work of the Holy Spirit, so I thank you, and I repent of my sins as I read it.
The world is very dark, but darkness fears the light, and darkness trembles and tries to hide at the voice of God.
Peace in Christ, Zanspence.
