PatrickHenry,

I am glad that you have reconciled yourself with Christ, and await as do I for that glorious day when we shall meet.

The Bible is a two-edged sword. Yes the Scriptures have recorded and warn of death because of sin and rejection of Christ. However, it is my absolute belief that the Holy Spirit has, is and will continue to open the minds of everyone enough that they will understand, and therefore can soberly decide to either accept Jesus's sacrifice or reject it.

The Bible also contains countless scriptures that give hope to us who are His children and receive it openly without reservation.

And, we who know Jesus are assured that we will escape hell and the lake of fire. We also are forewarned that in the last days it will be worse than Soddom & Gemorah. With that warning, we can lean on Him who will in nowise cast us out, receive His protection and guidance.

Our only real weapons in this world are paryer and living our lives as a witness of what He has done in us. Remember, justice in the end is God's to administer in His Righteousness.
