I Have Been Asked On Many Occasions If I Attend Church. Sometimes It Makes Me Feel Uncomfortable When Asked. I Have Decided From This Point On I Will Never Feel Beneath Another Because I Choose Not To Attend. I Have My Reasons And I Feel They Are Justified.
There Seems To Be So Many People Who Like To Judge Others. No Different Than This Blog. There Will Be Someone Or Two That May Have A Raised Eyebrow Because Of The Content Of This Blog. I Don't Care. I Passed A Church Sign The other Day That Read; Love One Another. Love Your Neighbor. Yet This Same Church Has Denied Certain Individuals From Participating In Non Church Activities. I Don't Get It.
I Have Been Told My Son Was Not In Heaven Because He Killed Himself. You Can Bet That Person Got An Ear Full From Me After Making Such An Ignorant Statement.
I Was Also Told There Was No Need For Me To Be Baptized More Than Once In My Life.
I Get So Sick Of People And Their Religious Beliefs. From This Moment On I Have Decided Not To Get Into A Discussion Over Religion. If You Decide To Write Your Blog That Contains Your Views Based On Religion It Will Be Ignored By Me. Nothing Personal Because You Have Every Right To Blog About Anything You Choose. However I Don't Have To Read It. I Don't Need Bible Verses Thrown At Me To Strengthen Your Views.
So You Think I'm Going To Hell? Think What You Wish. My Relationship With Jesus Christ Is Between Me And Him. On My Judgement Day I Won't Be Judged By How Many Sunday Services I Attended. I Won't Be Judged On How Much Money I Put In The Offering Plate. I Will Be Judged By The Almighty On How I Treated Others. My Faith I Put In Him In My Daily Life.
I Suppose You Can Consider Myself A Liberal. Quite The Opposite Of My Upbringing. I Believe In Equal Rights Regardless Of How Someone Chooses To Live Their Lifestyle.
I Talked To A Minister One Day And I Casually Asked Him Of His Feeling Of Being Baptized More Than Once. He Actually Laughed. Not At Me But The Thought Of Someone Being So Judgmental Of Me. He Shared That He Has Been Baptized Several Times. A Few In The Jordan River Where Jesus Himself Was Baptized.
My Days Of Being Embarrassed Or Feeling Judged For Not Attending Services Are Behind Me. If I Feel Like Attending Services It Will Be Because I Choose To.
It's My Personal Belief That If You Live According To The Ten Commandments, Ask God For Forgiveness, Be Born Again, You Shall Have Everlasting Life With Our Lord Jesus Christ.
God Knows What It's Like To Lose A Son. I Have Struggled For So Long Over The Loss Of Bobby. I Will Most Likely Mourn His Death Until My Dying Breath. Even Though It's My Desire To See Him Once Again In Heaven I Feel It's Unlikely. Our Earthly Being Cannot Be Compared To That Of Heaven. Our Lives On Earth Is Measured In Time. Heaven Is Everlasting. I Don't Believe I Will Be Standing At The Gate Of Heaven When My Life Is Over. I Also Don't Feel I Will Recognize Anyone Who Has Passed Before Me. I Do However Believe I Will Recognize My Creator And I Will Bow At His Feet. When My Days On Earth Is Over I Truly Believe My Life Will Be Judged Based On How I Lived My Life. Not One Person On This Earth Can Say Who Goes To Heaven.
Jesus Loves Me This I Know, Because The Bible Tells Me So.
