Care Fear is a main tool fo the church, if that is what you are getting at.
do what we say or burn for all eternity, now that is real comforting :)

My point was though that I am concerned about the long term effects of all this fearmongering on our society....
 
And my point to you, USC is not to return to YOUR church, but to reach deep inside and figure out what you really believe regarding God....not your church or what they have told you.... the only reason I am saying this to you is because I sense something.... I don't know what it is....but something....of uncertainty maybe?

And I just saw a program on tv that spoke about this new infrared technology that can read a brand put on us...and that it was invented out of the "fear factor" of terrorists and illegal immigrants... it was being discussed as being used so that we can be safer....

And it dawned on me that this is how we will all be given, as the Bible states, the number of the beast....If we don't refuse it and IF we really are in the latter days as we know it.... and that is an IF.

You may not know latter days prophesy well, or you may only know what your church has taught you through fear and have rejected all of this and I don't want to approach this in fear as they have, but please don't get branded with "that number" if it ever comes down to it.... my gut is telling me that you were meant to be "up there" with me.... I hope and pray that I am right....

something is happening usc.... I can feel it and see it daily... and I, like you, don't go to or worship at a church establishment...but I do pick up the Bible and read it.... actually I am lazy and go to Biblegateway.com and have it read it to me so I don't have to flip through the pages...pure tech laziness! lol

And too darn much of my time is trying to read prophesy since 9/11....not enough time spent on the Good News or the Gospel with Jesus's words and promises to us, and maybe I am scaring the pajesus out of myself for no reason.... but MAN, it sure seems like it is laying out like a Broadway Play with the Bible Prophesy as its writen script....!!!!

And as the good Christian that I am :D, with all of what is going on around us, I thought of you....and some of the things you have told me about your frightening church experience in your youth... so I thought that I would just try to rattle your cage... but not push anything on you, just rattle it a little! :)

Anyway, you don't have to answer me on this....just consider it the rattle!

Mama, I don't think you can find God through fear, or institution or threat of a little red number that is placed on us.

God is personal. No books, no theocrat, no study can give God to you or me.

Spirituality is personal. Either you have it or you don't. And if you don't, you can find it on your own accord. You don't need a theology to have spirituality.
 
Care, thanks for the concern and caring for me.
I am fine, really.
I live a more Christian lifestype than most self professed Christians. As far as how Jesus taught people to live, not the spiritual thing though.
I help the poor and needy, I treat people with respect, until they show me they deserve no respect. Even then I treat them decently.
I have always carried my own weight plus some for others.
I do not gamble, drink, or cuss very much :)
I am very well thought of and trusted in my community.
I can "charge" something in many local stores just on my word, but prefer to have no debt. Well I do owe 75k on my small farm I just bought....
I still actually help the local church more than many of their members.

I enjoy building and fixing things, Take joy in others successes, and wish everyone a good life.

But on the faith , belief, etc in God, heaven, hell, etc I do not believe, and never have. I seem to be missing that "god shaped hole" in my psyche that most have.

I have no heroes nor worship anyone.
I do have great admiration and respect for some people, and true Christians are one of those types. People who actually walk the walk they talk about.

Death holds no special fear for me as I have pretty much been there and hell before. And I think I would get bored with eternal life....

In summary Care I am as close to being a Christian as I ever will be.

Keep your faith Care and walk the walk. After all I could be wrong ;)
