--- Quote from: David on March 18, 2008, 12:46:39 PM ---I've come to see that one of the reasons most Christians hate the idea that God is going to save all of humanity is because of the human condition. All humans, us included at some stage of our lives, like to think we're better than the next guy, that we have something they don't or can't have. Its in our genes, people like it if their car is better than their neighbours, or their house is a bit bigger, or their kids are doing better at school, or they have more money than their neighbour. How many people not only feel that justice is done when someone is jailed for a long time for a terrible crime, but actually gloat in it, rejoice that someone is going to suffer for what they have done. I've seen tv programs from around the world including the US where the death penalty is given, and people sure enough gloat in it, want to participate as spectators in the destruction of a human being. When Saddam was hung and someone filmed it with their phone, millions watched it on the web, and rejoiced in it.
Ray is right in what he teaches, people actually like to believe in hell, and want people to go there and suffer forever.

     Yes, Brother Alex, I will give you an AMEN to the above and to you Brother David, those are precisely the characters in some people I don't care for, those mentioned in your post, better house, better job, smarter and more successfull children, etc. I recall my Mother years ago stating that her children didn't turn out successfull in the secular sense, but they are good people, showing she meant well, but being a decent person wasn't successfull enough. Actually I think she meant we tried to be decent people. Thankyou Brother Alex and David for sharing this message, you made my day.

                                       Your Brother in Christ, Samson.

       P.S. Perhaps those people David mentions don't have anything better, at least Spiritually speaking, so they seek praise and adulation for the Physical things they've attained.
