[QUOTE="GreenMunchkin, post: 54432040, member: 175920"] [COLOR=Black][/COLOR][COLOR=Green]If only you knew the freedom of being in Christ. I, and all people, that have accepted His salvation are assured a place in heaven. We don't need to desperately scrabble around for a place, doing good deeds, wearing the right things, praying in the right direction enough times a day, only to still not know whether we've made the grade or not. What a fearful faith that would be. It sounds loud, and painful and empty. In Jesus there is peace, and restoration and joy in knowing that you are loved by the Lord. Why would your god demand you not be happy? We are told that His joy will be our strength; that we are to rejoice always. He, in turn, rejoices over us with singing. We agree on the nature of this life, though. For the Christian, this isn't the reality we are to be attached to: we are here to do God's work; to be His hands. But this isn't our home.[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][/COLOR][COLOR=Green]That's another difference between our faiths, Ottoman. You wilfully act calm and well mannered when you catch your shadow.
