• Firwat ass Gott sou streng?

  Dës Deeg, sou vill gëtt iwwer dem Jesus seng Léift a Verzeiung gesot datt mir dacks d'Iddi kréien datt Hien eng méi liberal Haltung vis-à-vis vun der Sënn huet wéi Gott an der Vergaangenheet hat.. Mee, tatsächlech, seng Standarde si wierklech vill méi haart.

  If Jesus warns us of a possible fate worse than death, dann musse mer froen, “Why is God such a perfectionist?” Why couldn’t He just create a world in which we all love each other – or eliminate evil without eliminating those who caused it? Surely most people aren’t that bad? And couldn’t the really bad ones just be painlessly terminated? Has Jesus’ teaching been overstated, oder hu mir d'Gravitéit vun der Situatioun eescht falsch verstanen?

• D'Onméiglechkeet vun der obligatorescher Léift

  No English word has ever been more dangerously devalued than ‘love.’ There are many kinds of behaviour or feelings that we call ‘love’; and the Greek language uses several different words to distinguish them. But the true love that God desires is where people choose to put the needs of others before their own. Its ultimate enemy is not hatred: but self-centredness and indifference. Without this kind of love, heaven cannot be heaven.

  But there are 2 major problems. How can it be enforced? If there is an enforcer, how does he avoid acting out of self interest? And how can a person act out of love unless they are free to choose not to?

• Evil's Vicious Spiral

  Men have always longed for a truly just society. Trotzdem, despite incredible intellectual and technological advances, civilizations still rise only to crumble into chaos. And it’s the same in our own lives. Also wat ass den Haaptproblem? Self-centred evil, like a gravitational black hole, has a kind of attraction for us; sou datt, lues a lues, we begin to tolerate and excuse it; and then defend it, gesot, “That’s just the way I am.”

  Wéi e Bam wiisst, seng Branchen härten; so it always carries the marks of its past. The same is true of us; we become what we choose. De Jesus huet seng Nolauschterer konstant erausgefuerdert fir Choixen ze treffen. By choosing our way instead of God’s, our natures become distorted. Evil’s corrosive influence makes us unfit for heaven, a kontrolléiert eis an d'Mooss datt eis allerbescht Efforten eis net fäeg sinn dervun ofzebriechen.

  Your own experience of the depths this can take you to may be more or less severe than mine. But we all face a death sentence from this spiritual killer disease. None of us reading this can claim that it has not been the product of our own choices. An, in spite of any temporary self-improvement efforts we make, ultimately things will only get worse – unless God himself intervenes.

  Can there be a point of no return? Eventuell: but one vital choice normally remains, for those who are willing …
