Can’t be. Priests will take anything of value. It is politicians that prefer cash. Small denominations with no consecutive serial numbers please.

RE: Forgiveness
I might have a calling for the seminary, I have been thinking about it lately as a matter of fact min.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Being born here into this world doesn't make you automatically guilty.It just means that you have the capacity to do something wrong which could make you guilty later. God doesn't throw you away. Your own personal guilt is what makes your hell. It is not some physical place anymore than heaven is. You can't run from your own memories of what you know you did wrong. That is what the torment is. The illustrations of hell being some physical place were given as a picture for the common man to understand, but it too was a parable.

Of course god doesnt throw you away. God only exists in your imagination, and since you said he doesnt throw you away, then he doesnt throw you away?

I personally think God hates your fucking guts RDK, in fact he told me so.

Prove me wrong.

Honestly, I am VERY tired of christians trying to rewrite definitions, and this is ALL that this thread is.

Your quote is also DEAD WRONG. I had a friend once, he killed himself. For many years I was VERY pissed at him for doing such a thing, but eventually I forgave him.

I dare you to tell me that I didnt forgive him.

I don't know what that has to with the subject. Perhaps you have to get yourself worked up about it again to get back into the ballpark Wink Big Grin

If you do let me know and I will pray for you, actually I'll be praying that you will see Gods desire for your life.

To be angry is a natural reaction to something like this, and to forgive him for taking himself from you in such a way is for your mental health and he need not know that you forgave him. This forgiving helped you through your loss and that is a good thing. You probably felt betrayed by him and so you felt the need to forgive what you saw as a wrong against yourself. This is what God does.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
