Hellbound The Movie
Dennis Vogel:
If you watch the second half of this video (in my favorites on Vevo) you will see a good imitation of being happy and loving God. Except I don't think these people are pretending.

I've said this before and I doubt many understand. In some ways I envy the ignorance of some Christians.

Me too Dennis,
True understanding, when it comes to all, will be such a blessing.
It is so true that God will wipe away ALL tears from EVERY eye. All in God's good time.
Thanks for sharing the thoughts. Indiana Bob

Not me. I feel incredible joy and freedom in knowing these marvelous truths. There is no real freedom in "blissful ignorance" and I am elated to no longer be there. 8)

Hi Rene,
I see your point and have thought about it too.
However, in the case of my own family, ignorance is better than frustration of trying to live with someone like me IF they are [I was] preaching all the time and are not convincing because the hearer does not have ears to hear or eyes to see.
Our friends and beloved family will be just as happy and pleased to be called as we now are, IN the future when God gives them faith.
What is better, to be an ignorant and happy, productive person contributing to friends and family or frustrated and hating God's Bible every day for His being so demanding and confusing?
I have known quite a few people who only love God because they are accepted into the local church and have come to believe that they are special and without any REAL or SERIOUS sins, just as they are taught.
Of course they think that God is going to torture folks outside their own group, or just burn them up in a few seconds, but they are also taught myths that seem to protect them from God's wrath. They live in a fairy tale world.
WE are so blessed to have answers to our questions that satisfy and build trust/faith.
But humans need to either be given faith OR to be given blindness until the time is right.
Just my view and thanks for your consideration.
Love and hugs, Indiana Bob

It was nice to be surrounded by 100+ people at a gathering of like minds every week.
But we pay now, they pay later.
Heb 11:35 ... and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
