I have been a very sinful man in my time, and one of the things I believe that the Lord had done is visit his righteous vengeance on me. i can testify that anyone who does not fear God's wrath and vengeance is very unwise. I'm a struggling Christian. I've been constantly under attack from what i think may be the Devil or a wrathful and deceptive elect angel calling me to account. I know now for certain that backsliding is deadly. I implore anyone reading this to take your repentance seriously. I myself have had trouble doing so. The residue of my time as an ignorant, Bible- and god-hating atheist when i was younger, or so I assume. How I now wish my parents had put me into Sunday School when I was a child, and raised me in the church! My atheism also led me into substance abuse, though I account that to my own folly rather than to my parents lack of church membership - both are firmly against drug use. With the harm I've done to myself, the Lord has seen fit to chastise me for squandering his gifts and taking things with a lack of sober forethought, and He has done so righteously. But He also has reached so far down to raise me up so long as I trust and am obedient to His ways rather than those of the flesh and the worldliness it put into me. Just count me as another former atheist who got his comeuppance before passing through the gates of Gehenna (Hell, for those unaware; it's the Hebrew name for that place). I praise the Lord every day for his disciplining of me.
