Hell and Happiness
Okay enough of the feel good blog. Time to really tackle some stuff. Lately I have been thinking about how me and God sometimes don’t get along very well. We are different in many ways. We don’t agree on some issues. One issue is the big issue. When I think about who He is I can’t help just for a second to question His methods. All of you who are reading this and call yourselves a follower of God, are you really are okay with Him throwing people into Hell??? There it is straight to the point. That is my qualm. God sends people to Hell. How else do they get there? Now don’t give this nonsense about them choosing it for themselves its bum Christians like me and you who don’t give or go for them to have a chance… So the Buddhists, according to God, have to be cast into the everlasting torment. The Muslims are thrown to the demons, the Atheist alone forever in darkness, and the millions of people before Christ hindered by simple geography who never even had a chance. The list could go on. Christian, right now as I write and you read thousands are being literally poured into God’s wrath and Satan’s anguish… Let this sink into you let this invade your heart and mind. No seriously do it, stop reading and think about it
The weight of these thoughts is too much to bear…. Your God is satisfied with this!! Jehovah will not have these heathen in His presence!! They did not heed the call of Christ!! Damned to Hell their souls will be forgotten and alone. Piling on each other, some know their fate.
Oh my God…I am in Hell
Some thought their religion was the way, and some hoped they were good enough for God…well they weren’t.
So I ask myself and you Christian, is this the God I want to love and believe in??? I studied Sinners in the Hands of an angry God by Edwards in high school and wondered if any of my friends wanted to follow Christ after that…Doubt it.
Hi I am Yahweh I send people to Hell in droves…numbers you can’t fathom…wanna be friends?
Hmm
What am I doing devoting my entire life to this being??? The thought of it freaks me right out. Putting someone in Hell feels like the worst thing to do to a human being. Forget rape and murder this is horrible!
The questions begs…does God have the right to commit this “atrocity”. The answer is profoundly yes a million times over and it drives me to my knees begging forgiveness. The real atrocity is not recognizing Him for who He is, He is that holy. He has every right to throw us hard into any lake of fire. What I really ask of God is to judge the world on my terms and not His. I wouldn’t send anyone to Hell because frankly compared to me they aren’t that bad. My standard is quite lenient, I know no other. Not only do I demand my standard of God but I fail to realize his mercy. He isn’t going to put me aside but he embraces me. I will watch as others are condemned. Millions burn and I will have joy. It sickens me while it gives me great hope. This is how the universe will operate, and I have no choice…In fact I do not have the right to have a choice. I realize that I may not feel that this is right, but I do know that it is Just. God is not fair, He is just.
My fighting with God will continue. Some may say my doubts are a bad things and that it shows a lack of faith. But when I stand naked in front of a holy God ready to haul me off into everlasting torture…
I knew it all along… You do send people to Hell…please don’t…all I have is Christ, He is my righteousness. Jesus!
Saying His name now on earth makes me feel a lot better.
I have secrets.
I pray sometimes and I hope sometimes that God would just save everybody. I pray that God would be telling us that people go to Hell when He is really going to save them all in the end…I believe he has enough grace for that. I would be okay with that. It would be a wonderful surprise in Heaven. It is His card He has up His sleeve, the last sentence in the Bible..V23- And everyone who ever lived, all of Adams descendants, Shall inherit eternal life according to the Grace of our Lord, The Lord WILL be with you all, Amen
Don’t tell my secret…My other secret is that it will be just me and God together forever. I won’t have to fight for his attention or earn His glance. He won’t be thinking about something or someone else when we talk, and He will be impressed with me. No one else there just me.
Maybe I can have both…which would you like?
Am I the only one with these thoughts?

So, this is definately the most buckwild post you've ever written. I still haven't soaked it all up yet. On a random note, I think you need to use more commas. I think. I don't know. Anyway, i would definately have to say, as usual, that I have not thought about this before. That's usually the case with me though. You're always bringing up thoughts that I've never entertained before. It's always exciting. Upon momentary pondering, i think i would have to go with secret number one. Here's why... i think i would get too prideful for secret number two. All i can imagine with number two is God obviously knowing so much more about EVERYTHING, therefore dominating the conversation. With number one at least I get some people who are on my intellectual capacity. i know... that's horrible isn't it? Well, that's it. Much love. Can't wait to talk to ya about this one in person. peace.
Sorry Aaron, I know I'm not a WUM member, but I felt the need to reply. :) I'm going to go with #1. It would be nice wouldn't it? However, it'd make the chosen few a lot more than just a few and that would have to be the
widest "narrow path" to accomodate everybody.

i wholly agree with your frustration over devoting your whole being to a God who casts those into hell who have been disadvantaged greatly by something as simple as you put it, "their geographical location." yet i am baffled by your other secret. i am unable to fathom the thought of God ever being impressed with us. And, because He is God, is He not now hearing you as if it were only you who prays to Him now? Does He not hear our prayers (aka "when we talk" as you put it) without thinking of someone else in the sense as a human would which is the sense I'm assuming you mean?
