So I'm sitting at work minding my own business when I checked my jacobbsladdr email. I had a "nice" present from one Ms. Carrie Bradshaw now aka Judah's daughter, although I am pretty sure Judah didn't have any daughters only sons, makes you wonder if Carrie isn't really "Carl".
I had sent her a email a while ago during the big uproar on hubpages. Oddly enough she appears to be much nicer in her communications in private than in public but that could be her ego. I can't say I'm surprised at her comments. But it does give pretty good insight to how or why she believes what she believes. She doesn't understand that the things she says contradict each other. It appears she takes each scripture at it's own value and doesn't compare or even care too. To her, if a Scripture states the sky is red with pink and blue polka dots, if another Scripture stated it was green with orange and purple polka dots, it's ok because neither is referencing the other. they is no connection. She doesn't view the Scriptures as all interpreting another. Each stands on it's own merits.
Below is her email.
Hi JL,
While I re-read Hebrews 11, it begins with Abel and states he died in verse 4. Verse 5 is about Enoch and that he did not see death. The remaining people listed are said to have all died without receiving the promise of the Messiah, in which they had faith. The Apostle Paul said he knew of a man who went to the "third heaven" or "Paradise" 1 Cor 12:2-4. This may be the "bosom of Abraham"; I don't know. I only put in my hub the scripture and people can read into it what they read into it. I didn't go on to say Enoch never died; I just wrote what is written about him.
My hubs are written with scripture and very little of my own narration. Like you, you hav e a perspective of the scripture, for instance, that the beast (the beast who comes up out of the sea) is each person, believer or not. I think this is contradictory, in that a person who is filled with the Holy Spirit is not of the beast, nor shall ever be. I do not criticize your hubs, for I understand that you have an understanding as you perceive it and have the conviction to write your perceptions to the world, as I do.
So, respectfully, I do appreciate your input; yet, I cannot say I am fully convinced. We don't know if Paradise is where the Father is. We only know souls are shown in the Word to either go to Paradise or Hades until the judgment day of the Lord (which, I know you don't believe). Because death nor life, nor anything else can separate us from the love of God, for the Word says, "though I make my bed in hell (the grave), Thou art there", we know that we are never separated from the love of our Lord. I have a hub on heaven that shows the souls communicating in a loud voice with our Lord asking Him when He will avenge them to those who dwell on the earth, indicating they are not on the earth, but in the presence of the Lord.
I wish you the very best and our hearts do seek His truth until the day we are appointed to die, unless He comes first. The Word is also clear that not all will die, but "we who are alive and remain will be changed and caught up to meet the Lord in the air". That puts a damper on your claim that ALL will DIE, as well as a damper on ALL will be SAVED.
Amen.
What's up, Jacob
Yeah, I was emailing back and forth with Carrie for a good 2 weeks during that whole 'attack' on Hell No's hubpage. She then commented a few times on mine. True, she was much more kind in private emails, but likewise true she contradicts herself way too much. I pointed out several of her contradictions and her basic response was, "'well, this is the way I believe" or "You know, I don't know..."
Yeah, you're right, I know that you don't know... [No, I didn't say that part, but I should have...]
One major altercation was when she kept calling Ray a cult leader and his followers a cult, and I told her that she should read a few of Ray's articles on BT as well as visit our Forum
before she condemned the man. Her response was "I won't, I don't wanna be deceived". I told her that it was ignorant and blatant deception on her part to write hubs condemning a man she knew nothing about. She didn't like that...
After awhile, I just stopped replying to her, and I haven't heard from her since. It's like Ray has said before that you'll never argue a person into accepting the Truth... But I have prayed for her several times, and who knows, maybe she is reading our hubs... God's Will Be Done; there's no reason for me to worry about it.
Peace, Out
Daywalker.
