helian,

Unlike you, i believe in my, faithful God.

And unlike you, i believe and know that my God is just.

And i know also, that i am worthy of spiritual death,
....and i wait to be judged by my creator.



Knowing that my creator is just, if he chooses to 'delete' me, i won't complain.

Knowing that my creator is just, i will accept my fate.

That is the peace, in my heart,
.....I know that i am in the hand of a just God.



The spirit of my God, nevertheless, gives me the confidence and joy, to know that he has offered forgiveness [life, real LIFE!] to myself, and to all mankind.

I seek a brighter future for myself.

Am i selfish?

Or [knowing, what i know] am i a rational being?

The earth, and man, are dying, will die.i
Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.


Romans 14:7
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8  For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.



Choose LIFE.

In humility, and quietness, seek your God.

helian,

God is just.

You can have confidence in that, i do.
....[silly Yadda.      /sarc off               ]



I don't know what hell is.

So i can not answer your question.




I know is that we are spirits, locked in this flesh, for a time.

And i know that there are good, and evil spirits.

Look at mankind in this world.




If you want to know the mind of God, read, study, the Bible, particularly the OT.

Meditate on what you read, for its [deeper] meaning [allegories, and analogies, and such].

I do not know the mind of God.

But i seek it!




I don't know a lot of things.

But I seek knowledge of the 'holy'.

Silly me.

Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Calanen,


If you want to believe that, OK.

My experience is different.

Why?

I'm not sure.




Is my experience real?

I'm 'betting the house on it'.         




Can i prove it, to you.

No.

I wish you well.
