When I was six, my sunday school teacher didn't tell me
that Jesus planned to burn nearly everyone alive forever.
She just told me that he died on the cross for my sins and
wanted to be my very best friend and wanted to take me to
heaven. Then she asked me,"Charlie, would you like to
invite him into your heart?" And I said "yes", and so she
led me in a prayer and that was the day I was born again.
It was within the next two years that I learned the
feel-lousy gospel. Uh oh! I don't love Jesus anymore, but
I sure TRY to love him, you'd better believe it! He's
already torturing some of my aunts in uncles in hell for
eternity, and I'm such a chicken shoo shoo that I'm SCARED
to say that I hate his guts so that I can spend forever
with my loved ones in hell.NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I can't bear the thought of burning
forever so I--*MUST TRY*--to love Him...So, tell me folks! How MUCH sin can I commit and still
make it to heaven? How MUCH walking in the Spirit and
obedience do I *HAVE* to do in order to make it to heaven? I really detest the thought now of doing ANY obedience. But oh yes, I TRY to serve the Lord, only because I love Him, but truthfully I can only TRY to love him now. Oh yeah, that's a good question too. How much do I *HAVE* to love the Lord to make it to heaven? Is it okay if I just resent Him a "wee little bit" for wanting me to love Him more than He loves me--or more than He loves my aunts and uncles? Thanks for all the good input!Charlie
Sin, sin, sin. How much I can commit. That's all I can think about now that I'm listening to the feel-lousy gospel...
You guys are a real inspiration!
