I think Christ loves those He wishes to be saints, to a "higher" degree, though. That's why He supplies so much suffering for them.

The more God loves people, the more He makes them suffer.

So if you're really suffering, it's a GOOD thing because it means God REALLY, REALLY loves you......

Wow, is that twisted thinking about God.

And unless one is able to pray and suffer their way to the top while on earth, could it be possible they'll only see Mother Teresa of Calcutta as she passes by on the "up" escalator... :)

Anyone who thinks that suffering and praying is currying favor with God and going to contribute to their salvation is NOT on the *UP* elevator.

Who do you think suffered the most on earth? Jesus, perhaps? Do you think it is "twisted" that G-d allowed His Son to suffer that much?
