Did you understand at least a little bit what this article was trying to convey? The article begins with the phrase: “THE FUNDAMENTAL BATTLE OF ALL TIMES is who establishes the truth, God or the world, God or Satan, God or each person?” It seems that you have added even a forth category: “God or Webster”! It seems that you have allowed yourself to be brainwashed by the motors of the culture, the mass media, the schools, and almost all the religious institutions, which have been taken over by those who do not pray or believe in God especially in the last 50 years. Do you believe that Webster can offer you eternal life after death, or have you even swallowed the lie that hell and the devil do not exist, or even that there is nothing after death? Whether you believe it or not, or whether you want it or not, God decides the rules of the game. If you want to believe according to your head and have freely allowed yourself to believe the “father of lies” and to be formed by our relativistic society, you will still be judged according to the Truth established by God. God does not force anyone to accept and live by His eternal Truth. God does not force anyone to be with the immutable Truth for all eternity in His eternal kingdom. The problem is, whether we believe or want it or not, there are only two places for all eternity. In heaven there is the presence of the eternal Truth, God, and this presences is an incredible joy to those who freely subited, out of love, to its easy yoke and light burden (Mt 11:30). True love makes the yoke easy and the burden light, just as engaged couples do not feel the difficulties. For those who followed the father of lies who offers us continually pleasure now and convinces us that there are no consequences tomorrow or after death, God out of love will confirm our choice for all eternity and we will be separated from the eternal Truth, God, for all eternity, and this final and definitive separation is far more painful than all other fires and pains combined (CCC 1035). Whether we realize it or not, the good and the bad are surrounded by God’s love here on earth. At death, out of love, God respects our choice for all eternity! Even if we choose to live as spoiled children all our lives or as animals without responsibility, we will be judged according to our dignity as human beings made in the image and likeness of God (Gen 1:26-27).
