Dog gone it, you made me make a trip to my reference material----lol---only to prove I know nothing, PEACE --O.T. ----PEACE-- N.T.-----I got lost somewhere between page 1 and the end....lol....I am just tooooo thick....I think, and that is dangerous, so I will not think I will go with my opinion, but then when someone thinks then they are voicing their opinion & we know about opinions........TRUTHFULLY, sounds like I am up a creek without paddle........Bottom line, just to keep it simple..."IF" you are in God's arms you are at PEACE....If not----I suppose this is a time for self-examination, unless you just don't give a rip
Peace??? I believe I am at peace, but only before I changed my attitude.....Now this is just me, not you or them or they or those-----just me-----once I took a very serious look at "ME", then changed how I looked at others & other situations, now I don't know or would bet on it.....but I swear I think the real problem in my life was me....NOW!! that is a real hard pill for any self-professing Christian to swallow-----
"TELL ME it ain't so Joe---, I go to church, I pay my tithes, I sing in the choir, I serve the homeless,---I DO--I DO-- I DO----I am a good person, I work, I labor, I do all that is required,,,,,I am one of the Sheep on the right hand, not a goat on the left------OK!!! When Christ was crucified , one of the theifs on a cross, only said to Jesus "REMEMBER ME"----this thief was not a church member, not baptized, , he did not sing in the choir, he did not teach a S.S. Class, he was a miserable individual----and all he said was " REMEMBER ME".... How many self-professed Christians have forgot about themselves & just said to Jesus----"REMEMBER ME"
I only say this because I think I fit I with those folks filled with self-pride------That ole devil has more tools in his ole bag to trick us than we can ever imagine-----WE HAVE TO LEARN COMMUNICATE WITH GOD THROUGH HIS INSPIRED WORD........the Bible
Follow that gut feeling you get-----God Bless
