Another story related to me was almost the same scenario except the guy wound up kicking the end of the bed to pieces yelling "They're coming for me" - those were his last words.
There's something out there.
Jesus is coming. Look busy.
I just can’t get into the “turn or burn” message. I believe the message of Christ was the good news as hinted at in the OT, preached in the hew testament and, specifically, the Gospels.
My take on acceptance of Christ is: Dont’ do it because you fear what will happen otherwise. Do it because you desire an eternity in His presence. IOW, choose your husband because you love him and want to please him, not because you think he will beat you endlessly if you don’t. The latter is not based on love.
‘Course, I’m more into the concept of “anihilation” rather than eternal suffering after one is not found written in the book of life. I believe those who do not accept the attoning blood of our savior will be simply “ended” at the second death much as animals and insects are in this world. They will, of course, be “eternally ended”, never to awake again.
I’m not married to this belief about eternal damnation, but it is the best I can come up with based on the personality of God as I understand it coupled with what is written in His Word.
Of all the “Wonders of the World”, life itself is the absolute grandest.
Wow, bkayce. I read John’s article back in the 1970s. I still have it my stacks of S&T, I think.
Excellent
In the highest sense, the spiritual sense, the eternal sense, the only thing that really matters is souls. People are the only thing coming out of this creation.
Politics, government, business, all pale in comparison, although that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pay due regard to the care of our fellow men, or to the interests of posterity. Quite the contrary.
Those with the best view of heavenly things are the ones we should look to for the wisdom we need to properly provide for the things of this earth.
