Next: forgiveness (this is what has kept me from bustin' a liberal upside the head). To be forgiven, we must forgive. Forgive me of my trespasses, as I forgive those who have trespassed against me.
Next thing I think about is this: In Heaven there is no sin. I aint draggin my filthy stickin sin into Gods house. While I was here, I learned this:
If you kill, you don't have peace
you steal, no trust
covet your neighbors belongings and you feel jealous
There is a consequence to sin. I believe God will write his law in my heart and I will not want to break it because I know exactly what we get. I have been tempered by the fire.
As far as the Rapture, I believe in it. I would have to restudy it, but at one time from my studies, I believed that there would be some Christians left behind to continue to try to bring the word to the deaf. But I believe a lot of these people get persecuted. But I may remember that all wrong. Like I said, I would have to look into it again.
Maybe XeniaSt can lend a hand with this and correct me where I am wrong? I don't mind, I would like to be correct when I am wrong. If I want to ride north but the horn toad says we should go to Mexico, well I want to be correct. I guess that is what makes me a Conservative.
