Hello Chris....
>>Those who die rejecting God can expect nothing but fear and judgement. Those that I know who have lived for the LORD had such amazing tranquility when they died that you would think they were going off to a long awaited reunion! Chris>>
These guys were making fun of you.
Glad to see you contribute.
If a man is happy and joyful while walking down the street, he'll naturally want to smile, acknowlege and help anyone he runs into. And when others make eye contact with him, he'll shine with all the brightness of a sunny day.
Then there are some individuals who have a hard time making eye contact with others. The happiness and joy that comes from radiating light from within has a brightness that can startle those who are facing darkness.
When we face darkness, any light is energy to be possessed/taken/consumed/controlled. When we face and live in the world from a perspective of darkness all light and energy looks finite, limited, scarce, restricted, etc.
Where all of us trip up is that we kill ourselves and others with the pain and guilt we feel when we live from away from this perspective of light and love.
We aren't "bad" or "wrong" when we face darkness. We are just reaching out for someone, something, somewhere, sometime for answers.
And all that while, those answers are within us. Just a humble, risk and service oriented knocking with a good dose of faith and belief is all that's needed to turn the tide.
Peace.
