funny thing happened

[imperialgal]

today, a few months ago i was speaking with a awesome lady i know who is a christian lady , anyways it was just a the time i was questioning ET etc and i had said to her my concerns about maybe god dosnt burn people forever as that would be just cruel and wouldnt it be better they just dont exsit ( this is before i heard the amazing good news which im still trying to take the flying leap of faith, old doctrines can be a sticky mess to wash off! This lady had been showing her teenage youth group videos of hell and testomnies of people going there and comming back etc! Anyway today at the supermarket she stopped me and said She had done some investigating and had a heap of scripture to show me, my hackles when up for a tad in love of course haha and to my suprise she said that she read this guy research and he reckoned that people didnt burn for ever and ever and the scriptures and the wicked would just cease to exist! My response was that maybe all will be saved and that the wicked man in all of us will cease to exsit and that all may be saved, it was hard to get into it in the supermarket, im not exactly sure what i said but I know i said Now wouldnt that be a victorious gospel and she smiled! I just wanted to share this with you guys and gals as I dont really have anyone as of yet that understands what i am going on about but maybe I will soon have a friend who will be willing to discuss and study with me in my own town! And the lovely thing is even tho we may never agree we still are sisters and friends anyway no matter what belief either of us are! love it!!

The word is being released for those who have ears to hear.  Just questioning the doctrine for hellfire preachers is a HUGE step.  Praise God.

Awesome! Isn't it exciting when that happens? Just know that no matter what you are never alone. There are many of us, we're just scattered all over the world. :)

Now wouldnt that be a victorious gospel and she smiled!

This shows the work of God's spirit in those who are still undecided, even though you say you are not fully committed to UR, you have already planted the seed in another. Hear the words that God spoke through you to her.

Amen.

The fear of questioning was intense for me.  Once that fear was overcome, new understanding broke through like a flood.

I think im slowly coming to terms with its ok for me to believe this wonderful news! I think i always have known in a funny sort of way as when close ones die christain or not they are in heaven as far as i was concerned no question, infact i never really thought about anyone being in hell but the concept taught has held me back from gods love so much! I think for me also is im worried if i have got this wrong I might mislead some people and it would be my fault lol but then i think whats bad about this! nothing its the most loving message now i understand it  (i dont understand the bible yet tho lol) . I am so glad i am here and making new friends here also! Wonderful day over in nz today not sure if its because its the 7th of the 7th lol but sun is shining bikers are everywhere having a ride and i just got over a huge family tummy bug and being a large family mum has to do all the washing yuk!

[lomarah]

Omg Trace, poor you, I feel for you!! I'm so glad you reminded me it's the 7th lol it's my brothers bday today. :)
Do you ask the Lord for understanding when reading the Bible? Really helps me. :)
So good to hear from you again.

yes wasnt pleasant thats for sure a family of 9 plus a friend staying and all of us got sick apart from my son david! I do understand alot of things the bible teachers for sure, i love the wisdom of proverbs and jesus teachings etc etc the simple stuff i guess but the meaty stuff gosh i get lost in all that! But i will ask god to show me better and see what he can help me see! ya bros got a cool birthday date!

[lomarah]

Haha yep he's 7/7/87. Never thought about that before, but that is cool.

If you want some real meaty stuff, read Cardinals stuff, she has the deep meat. It took me awhile to understand most of it because it really is deep but the more I pressed in to God, the more He was able to show me. Now I can "see" pretty much all of it. Just click on her profile and go to "show posts" if you want to try and digest it hahaha. :)

Hello imperial Gal,
what you are experiencing is not uncommon
1. We realize there is no way a God of love could take pleasure and for his
own will torture his created children endlessly.
2. Then we think that maybe the fire of God consumes and the "evil" people go out of existence forever.
3. Finally, the overwhelming love of God shows us that "Jesus paid it all, all to him we owe. Sin had left a crimson stain - He washed it white as snow.
