Ya know, I aplogize, I accidently came to the wrong place. I knew I was at the Christian forums, I just wasn't aware that I came to open debate forum. I do like to debate, it gets the blood goin, but I prefer conversations with other Christians at this point in my life. I am at the point where I have nothing to prove, and I know where I am going.
There is no gray areas. None. You can't walk ON the fence, you're either on one side or the other. You're either with God or your not. In the Bible, Revelation 3:16 says,"But since you are like lukewarm water, I will spit you out of my mouth! "
You know I'm not narrow minded, but I am on a narrow path... Matthew 7:14 " the gateway to life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it."
Matthew 19:24-I say it again--it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!"
God did not make us robots, that is the only way we could have all went to heaven. He gave us the freedom to choose, because he WANTED us to choose Him. But he specificly gave us His word, to show us the way and to help us live for Him.And HE never said it WOULD BE EASY!!!!
My heart hurts for anyone who does not seek His face and does not live for Him, because you are walking n the wrong side of the fence, and therefore I will not see you in Heaven. And for that, I am sad.
This debate , this topic, these words that I have said, are just one teeny tiny part of who I am. I have a wonderful life, I have a happy life, I laugh, I joke around, I have a wonderful,handsome husband whom I am in love with and still act like it, I walk with my neighbor, I go to the movies, I play cards, I play outside in the grass with my kids, I teach Sunday school, and I shop at Walmart til 2 in the morning with my mom and sisters! Just because I know what I believe is true, and I have that confidence, and I am willing to tell you, no matter what your opinion is of me, doesn't make me a know it all, or narrow minded, or a person"who takes life too seriously" THAT makes me a CHRISTIAN. And proud of it.
