More on the subject, from Matthew 10:

37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

Best wishes,

I2

What a crock. You people are the reason I quit going to church. God does not take life. It's against His character and He never changes. Could God say don't kill and then kill? It's ridiculous. Yet supposedly intelligent people are so confused about even a basic thing, God's character, that they weave ridiculous fantasies about events and God's part in them.

><>...Good morning Brian...><>

How dare you try to beat me into submission with scripture?

You are one cold hearted person.!
How dare you judge me in my love for my son?

Yes he was my world. Yes he was my pride and joy! Yes he was my everything!

How dare you judge my love for him.?
And how dare you judge my relationship with God.?

I still wake up in a clod sweat in the middle of the night reaching for him. I still grieve out loud everyday. My heart is heavier than any one person should ever have to carry. I still go to bed every night praying that when I wake up in the morning the nightmare will be over...but it isn't.

And yes Brian I still shake my fist at God. But you have no right to judge me and my realtionship with God or... my son. And there is still one thing I hold close to me ...if the bible is true, then God and... only... God is my judge...and he alone knows my heart. And in that I can be at peace.

My son Stephen sincerely loved all people. It never mattered to him who they were or where they came from. He cared about them all. He was so full fo life. So full of promise. So full of love and compassion...for all people.
He was intelligent and wise...very wise. He was kind. He was generous. He was understanding.
He had a heart for all people especially those who were down and out.

Jesus was his saviour and was in his heart always...!!.
He talked with people not at them. He spoke of love and kindness. He never put his hands in his pocket to pull out a silly little bible... He never preached at people...he reached in his heart and always came out with love.! Love Brian, pure unscripted, love. The only thumping heard was the thumping of his loving, caring heart....!!
It was way beyond him to ever think of using the bible as a weapon.
He loved God too much to do that.

Shalom...><>
