Can You Make Me See Red?

From what I understand, we will mourn for a certain amount of time, then God will wipe away all tears by erasing our memory from the departed..er people in hell.

Makes me almost cry just thinking about it, as I have people dear to my heart who aren't willing to accept him.

Jesus has earned heaven.

Bart,


What exactly is the question?

I am going to answer your question in the best way I am able. But, I first would like to point out some things about myself. I have chronic kidney disease. The scientific community has no clue what it is as of yet but I have just been referred to a cancer doctor.

The question is how does a man of sin enter heaven.

No one can go to the Father except by the son Jesus Christ.

This is my faith which I will take even unto the grave. I place my eternal hope in Jesus. Anyone can say that "I am deceived". But, I really cannot put my faith in anything else. Not myself. Not science. Not this world. Not you or your words. Not anything but him.

Some people may use their beliefs to bash others and I have at times done so as well. When I have...I have done so without love and therfore apart from the will of Christ and the Father.

I tell you all what I believe out of love and compassion. Without love and compassion.....none of us have......anything at all.

The richest man in the world can be in dire poverty. The poorest man.....can have riches beyond words. The most intelligent people on earth can be nearly completely void of wisdom.

I wish, hope, and pray for the greatest of riches and blessings to be yours.....forever.

I have spent nearly my entire life serving myself and primarily myself alone not realizing that such a spirit not only does not serve me.....but, is meant to destroy me from within. We were created for God.

I long for a different world and a new me. I long to be near him.

Bartikus,

Truer words were never spoken, my friend. My prayers are with you always.

I have a heart that was once waxed cold and now lives. I want to live the abundant life Jesus spoke of. I realize I have not really lived at all.....till recently.

May God's blessings and love remain with you as well Momma.

Bartikus,

I am, myself, just beginning to know what it means to be alive.

and now we know in part........ . Wow!

Ask away...

Ok, I have seen red today. Most definitely have experienced it.

Being on A2K, telling lies and everything?

(I try not to see red)...

Yes. I said I was quitting and I didn't. Call it a lie. Call it changing my mind. Call it whatever you want to call it. I'm glad I finally got to meet someone perfect on A2K. Nice to meet you.

It's not about me, it's about you...

Well, let's see. I did something stupid and I admitted it. So, I'm supposed to what? Feel guilty for the rest of my life? Puh-leeeze! Do me a favor? Talk to Diane.

Words from the most wise.

Careful, she is judging your soul.

Favors, why?

Francis,

I was being sarcastic. Look, you don't have to like me and I don't have to like you. I knew I'd have to put up with people making remarks about my saying I was leaving and then changing my mind. I look at it this way people will either get over it or they won't. I'm doing my best to do just that.

Let me ask you something why did YOU feel it necessary to essentially call me a liar?

It seems you being very upset with your own deeds.

Now it's not my intent to call you anything. What bothers me is people who can not face what they say and do.

From people who so strongly defend ideals, it's a bit sad, that's all...

But it was my last post to you "on this matter"...

Francis,

Yes, I'm upset. Not with what I did. I made a mistake. So what? I made a mistake.

I'm sure you just love it when someone points out something you may have done wrong or stupid or emotional?

What's sad, Francis? That I'm human and I don't mind admitting it?
