“Though I wonder what disciplines He may exact for folks who’ve been warned to prepare and haven’t.”
If you are correct, then everything we type is lost and forgotten. If you are incorrect, then every heckler who mocks you looks like a genius in comparison.
I don’t mean to mock or heckle because I don’t want to be guilty of encouraging people not to prepare. At the same time, I’m trying to keep things in perspective.
I don’t think anything is lost or forgotten until after judgment.
I believe that everything we do, say AND THINK is recorded . . . and that
the judgment, in part, involves our
RELIVING in fast forward all our inputs/stimuli to others including our associated thoughts, feelings and actions
AND RELIVING AS THOUGH WE WERE THEM—ALL THEIR THOUGHTS FEELINGS AND ACTIONS IN RESPONSE TO OURS
TALK ABOUT AN INTENSIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE!
Which seems to be the major objective for those headed Heaven-ward.
Otherwise, I’m not sure I understand why you say all we type would be lost. Words have impact on lives. That matters, imho.
“I don’t mean to mock or heckle because I don’t want to be guilty of encouraging people not to prepare.”
I’ve hardly begun to prepare because my sons think I’m entirely over reacting when I even mention doing so. At the same time, as a mother, I do feel it is my responsibility to prepare as best I can, ESPECIALLY since they won’t. What to do in the catch 22....am thinking I need to trust my gut and do it anyway....who cares if I go to my grave the crazy, paranoid one in the family ;)
