    I feel like my happiness is being strangled out of me...

    Consider, Love is much more than weak sentimentalism:As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Revelation 3:19 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Hebrews 12:7 If he did not, you would be...

    So had the Jews of old cease from reading it. Yet, God in His merciful Providence, had it waiting for them. They were even very sorrowful when they found it again in the Temple and actually read from it, knowing that Love from page to page was unto them, and after words, they had joy and light...

    None "deserve" the blessings of God, but we do have His all-powerful Grace. Pray, "Lord, help me." Matthew 15:25 He will. He promised, and demonstrated that He will. He came from heaven itself, to deliver us. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world...

    Let me ask you then. According to Roman theological belief, is a Christian judged at his death, before he enters Heaven? For those in your purgatory, why did they go there, if not Heaven in death? Was there a judgment that took place before the Second Advent of Jesus Christ in power in glory...

    [2] Notice also another very key to this text, which is in 2 Corinthians 5:5,7, speaking about "faith", and “earnest[ness]” that is waiting for the reality of the Resurrection, not of actual "sight" or of obtaining immediately upon one's death. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame...

    Why not? Is not there a judgment going on now in Heaven while the Everlasting Gospel is going forward to the whole world? Shall not the righteous be judged by God, and if so when according to Scripture?
