Tripete, We have a large gap in what our individual beliefs are considering "Being Saved". I made a comment in an earlier post in this thread concerning the fact that as sinners who have seen the light and are forgiven.....we should learn how to forgive ourselves. My position is still the same. Reading your text I see a constant under current of, what I can best describe as rage, or hate? It's my position that after being saved, we should express a continence of joy after the weight of our sins where removed from our shoulders. Where is it said that after excepting Jesus Christ ex-sinners are required to assume the job of punishing themselves mentally until called home?
Under that assumption, how could we evangelize? What potential convert would be drawn into a flock of believers who constantly exhibited negative behavior?
In My mind right or wrong.....God is pleased when his earthy children Laugh, and sing and spread goodwill and hope as they Glorify his name. I excepted Jesus into my heart years ago......but it's also my belief that he is much more pleased with my walk now as opposed to then. I will stand before God, Jesus promised me. On that day, I'm doing my best to hear him welcome me as a faithful servant.......Even if God doesn't consider it important......his spirit in my heart sure gives me reason to be joyful.
I pray it's contagious.
May God Bless Us All......................Glenn
