Rene:
This thread reminds me of a question I have asked myself and given serious thought about.  Is there anyone (family, friends, lovers) or anything (money, career, hobby, home, etc) that is more important to me than the faith I have been given and the spiritual truths I have to come to know in the last 8 years of my life?  In other words, would I give up this "spiritual awakening" for anything, I can honestly saw that I believe there is nothing worth it. 8)

I agree with Rene. I would rather end up in a gutter hated by all and lonely, hungry, cold, but still having the truth, than end up secure and safe for the rest of my life but being deceived.

To the OP, how do you forsake loved ones? Accept the fact that they're all already dead. Or as good as dead anyway. No one who has lived before us has escaped death and none of us will escape it either. It's inevitable and so guaranteed that we might as well accept it now. I've mourned the loss of my wife, kids, and kissed this world good-bye in one way or another. My wife and kids aren't dead yet.. Or are they? Isn't time just an illusion anyway? One can tell the difference between the past and future but can anyone define the present? As soon as a second passes it's in the past. How long is the present? Or is all time connected?

Anyhow I believe that the time I have here with family is all borrowed time. God has declared the end from the beginning and since He has declared what the end will be it is already as good as done. We're all dead already. And we're all saved already.
