CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

For me, i just hope to be obedient to Him in this world, and closer to Him in the world to come. And Love comes as you seek God.

Have faith that God treats all mankind equally, and those that have found favor in God's eyes are those that have become very close friends with God. Those that through great sacrifice, have drawn many to the truth, and revealed to the truth under great conviction from the Word of God and personal experience.
You, yourself, will be saying nothing but "amen", "praise the Lord" with all that the Lord has done, agreed with His choices for the different tasks that are before the throne. God is righteous, and all that He does you will praise Him for. When you walk through those gates, you will praise Him and give Him all the glory for saving you. When you walk in the New Jerusalem, you will see the wisdom of God in choosing, the elders, the people that get to be before the throne serving Him, and those who are chosen to judge with Him in righteousness. In all this you will be so happy and content with your lot in the Kingdom that all you can do is marvel at the wisdom of God. For He knows you so well.
Sit down with Him, who has prepared the wedding feast, and enjoy the fruits of the labor of another, rejoice that you have made it to the wedding feast with the proper garments. The last will be first and the first will be last, the servant shall be served and the king of kings will be the least of the servants who has served us all. Yeshua will be the greatest, not the argument that the disciples was having, like when they were wondering who will be on the right and left hand of God, which Yeshua showed isn't what is important.
Getting into heaven is like the eye of the needle, the narrow path, and it will be a miracle that any of us are there, we all will be praising God for His mercy, for we will humbly realize that we are so unworthy of such honor.
May you be rest assured that God knows what He is doing, and it is perfect regarding who does what and why even in heaven.

Isaiah 56:3-8 3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him
