you know that is one sure sign that a person is saved i think.... how many people, non believers, do you here not wanting to leave this place. They grip about some things they would liketo change, but they love the things they do here over all. undulging in the sins.
When your religion considers living your God granted life to it's fullest a sin, that REALLY ought to tell you something.
a true christias sprirt calls out to go home. It feels like a stranger in a strange land here.
Well, if you'd put forth an effort to be anything other than a sanctimonious doom-speaker, perhaps it'd feel better here. Also, delusions of grandeur much?
The sin that you use to enjoy are sickening to you now. Sure even saved we slip and sin still, hopefully not as bad as we use to, but the second we do them.... we feel the guilt.
Guilt for WHAT? Living? Having fun? You're here for a while. You might as well make the most of it.
we hate temptation.... we are not happy to sin, or like it... we want to be free from it.
And you still don't get that you're playing a rigged game. THINK ABOUT IT! Every drive, every desire, up to BREATHING is sinful. Most sin one is admonished for is unavoidable. But the Church says it's okay. So long as you're a good Christian, you'll be forgiven. Of course a GOOD Christian wouldn't leave the Church to fend for itself financially...and without it, you don't get the mojo to clean yourself of sin. So you pay into the collection plate, every time it drifts by.
We are forgiven Praise God, but the temptation is still around, and of course just seeing other sin in some ways that they do makes us mad... murders, rapist.... hard to keep from screaming.
Funny...you tend to ignore them...and in some cases even defend them. It's the gays...the pro-choicers...the evolutionists...those are the ones you attack.
yes, wanting to go home, dreaming of home is a sure sign you are a child of God!
Okay, ignoring the fact that you sound like all the priest needs to do is sneeze wrong, and you'll be chugging the Flavor-Aid just to make sure you're first, can you not want to get to Heaven AND enjoy yourself here?
