stian. "Many of you will
have to die in my name" said He. The point of this is God never said or
demanded ANYONE to ever do anything. In the garden of eden He told Adam
and Eve not to eat of the tree of life or the tree of knowledge of good
and evil. They did it anyway because they CHOSE to go against Gods
commands. They were warned but paid no heed. Another example is when
God told Noah to build an ark. Remember it had never rained before then
on the earth and Noah is building a 350 foot boat. It took him over 100
years to build the ark and all the while he was telling the people about
God and his wrath on the sinners of the world. But the people said, how
silly! It has never rained and your saying its suddenly going to rain
and flood the entire earth. What criticism he must have endured. Yet
it happened and all the people died. They also chose to be critical and
go against Gods commands.
Jesus said, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No man come
unto the Father but by Me". He also said, " Truly truly I say to you,
You must be born again to see the kingdom of Heaven". People still
today have the right to reject Him. No one since biblical times has
ever seen tangible proof of God and his prophesey but we Christians
will believe and rejoice when He comes for his Bride.
It is easy to be critical of something like The Bible. Especially
when it has not been studied but just picked at. Jesus said "You must have
childlike faith to follow me". So hang in there fellow Christians for He's
coming back for his children very soon. Maranatha!! Praise the Lord!mzp@uicsg.UUCP (03/22/84)

We've all heard it a thousand times, and it is much better off on the streets, in the airports, and on 'Christian' television. If you've got something worthwhile to say, by all means say it here. But don't insult our intelligence. Mark Papamarcos ihnp4!uiucdcs!uicsg!mzp "In a particularly obnoxious mood, so don't bother flaming"
