hell

how could a loving God send people to hell?
that's a commonly asked question. the question
itself reveals a couple of misconceptions.
first, God does not send people to hell. he
simply honors their choice. hell is the ultimate
expression of God's high regard for the dignity of
man. he has never forced us to choose hime, even
when that means we would choose hell...
no, God does not "send" people to hell. nor
does he send people to hell. that is the second
misconception.
the word "people" is neutral, implying
innocence. nowhere does Scipture teach the innocent
people are condemned. people do not go to hell.
sinners do. the rebellious do. the self-centered do.
so how could a loving God send people to hell? he
doesn't. he simply honors the choice of sinners.

remember...

pray all the time. if necessary, use words.

God forgets the past. imitate him.

greed i've often regretted. generosity--never.

don't ask God to do what you want. ask
God to do what is right.

no one is useless to God. No one.

nails didn't hold God to the cross. love did.

you will never forgive anyone more than
God has already forgiven you.

"they continue saying things
that mean nothing, thinking that God will
hear them because of their many words."

-Matthew 6:7-

today is sunday at my little foggy town...kinda feeling religious...and this is the reason why i am
blogging in a religious way...it's my way of relaxing my mind and soul...in a dead of the night...
before the first day of my work week. today is also my last day of my vacation. glad it's over na.
and glad that i got all the rest i needed...to mend my mind and body...ready to tackle another
week of hard work that is waiting for me at my work :(...but most of all had a great time spending my short vacation with my loving family. i don't know what's waiting for me at my work. i'm always ready expecting the unexpected. nothing much happened with me today. other
than just slept almost half of the day. didn't even go out and explore the world. i'll be doing that
tomorrow when i go to work. and now here i am just blogging this blog for everyone out there.
and also today maybe my last day to blog. until this coming july 15th when i'm going to be back
again. reason being i'll be probably busy at work...dog tired when i get home...still have my padre de pamilya chores to do...by then i'm probably in the sack already catching my zzzz's. sorry for this bad news :(...but don't worry i'll be back again soon :P'...15th of july. bush tail and
wide eye...eheheh.
and speaking of today...nothing much is going on in the world...except the same stuff that we hear all the time in the news...terrorist attacks...suicide bombings in iraq...starvation...mayhem
...murders...political upheavals...riots...what a mad world we live in. don't you get tired of hearing
the same kinda news. i do. but i still care what happens in our mad world. i got to stay open
minded all around me. i can't be walking around blind, deaf or mute. gotta stand-up and fight for
your rights and freedom. this what happened to Martin Niemoller (1892-1984)...

"in germany they came first for the communist and i
didn't speak up because i wasn't a communist. then
they came for the jews and i didn't speak up because i
wasn't a jew. then they came for the trade unionist and
i didn't speak up because i wasn't a trade unionist.
then they came for the catholics and i didn't speak up
because i was a protestant. then they came for
me...and by that time, no one was left to speak up."

do you want this to happen? glad we live in the great u.s. of a. this is happening in the third world country. where there is no freedom. where corruption is the game. where murder is
the law. where everybody is blind...deaf...and mute.

"come at last to this point
i look back on my passion
and realize that i
have been like a blind man
who is unafraid of the dark."

i guess this is it na for me for today. the last day of the week. my last day of vacation. getting ready and waiting for the beginning of a new day of the work week. i'll be back again soon on
the 15th of july. "enjoy life for life is too short." Godbless...and remember God is always
whispering your name. Adios :P'.

"midway along the journey of our life.
i woke to find myself in a dark wood,
for i had wandered off from the straight
path."
