Alan and Nancy,
This post is so interesting, and you have made so many just like it, over and over and over speaking in the most simplistic Chrisitan way about the most simplistic basic tenants of the faith, all stemming from a simple love of God through Jesus Christ that was never meant to be a hostile battle among believers. Ever. So much to the contrary. My experiences with almost all of the thousands of people who flood my memory just now, so many I know that I just realized a small concept of the size of the wealth of heaven when we do get there, has been kind of like always talking to Shalom and Jack and others. Its so predictable and ordered. It just is a different realm entirely, and you can feel it.
Now please hear exactly what I'm saying, and I say it without judgment, and that is completely honest.
Alan, you keep talking here as if you are talking to Shalom, and of course the person you are responding to must certainly understand if you just keep talking to them. And I'm doing the same thing, thinking, of course this will work, there is a Christian there so of course they will finally see what I'm saying.
But see, they won't. It's not Shalom and its not me your talking to.
And I don't know why Alan, and that right now is a great mystery I'm just going to have to pray about to understand. But although it all sounds the same, and we think it is the same, it isn't. And that is what isn't going to change.
I do see it very clearly though, and without judgment because it is a situation of the heart that can't be judged and can't be changed either.
So its all explained there in some scripture somewhere, I'll bet, and someday I'm going to see it and think wow, that's the same thing. That's what it was on Askgod. But now I just still don't understand, and to my complete satisfaction the Lord has recorded the finding of the trial to my satisfaction, and I honestly believe there are such better things to talk about other places. Don't you agree? Think about it.
You don't need to justify yourself before these men any more Alan. I believe the ones you will grow the most with and find the most true Christian fellowship already know what you really are saying, and have never had a moments problem with it. CAn you now see what I'm saying? I feel released from this. |
