Rob,
I am trying to be objective... Outlaw is not taking a shot at God. The thief on the cross went to heaven in a matter of one day after repenting... & just what kind of life did the thief live prior to that day??? He was no saint.... yet Jesus took him to Heaven that day. We are not saints... we are not perfect, we do not know every verse in the bible, some of us have some pretty ugly pasts I am sure. God loves every one of us... Outlaw included. The bible also talks about how God loves the poor, the lonely, confused, sick... etc... Outlaw was emotional about children having to die this way. He wanted to know a legitimate question that was answered by many. I don't think he intended on not honoring God... who are we to say what God thinks about anyone??? After all, I am happy to let God do the judging. You seem to know your Bible... so you should know of a verse somewhere saying "there is no condemnation in Christ"... heard of that one??
BTW- I have read alot of Galations 5... & all the talk about living in the spirt & the flesh, & the list of deadly things that keep us from honoring God... but I do not push my intirpritation of this on anyone here. Make no mistake, your personal interpritation can prevent you from helping & doing Gods witness. What have you done to help Outlaw come closer to God??? Rob... you just Bible-Thumped Him!!! Is that what Outlaw wants to hear right now? Rigsby
