Don't eat late and let the food digest an hour before walking, otherwise the extra blood needed for digestion will go to oxygenate your legs so they don't get tired walking, and your food won't digest and break down as well for absorption.
I've went through depression too and as bad as it was, it is nothing compared to weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in an eternal hell. I have a stage 4 cancer now that will eventually take my life. I better KNOW where I'm going. I don't want to leave that to chance.
Yeah, and 5 verses later he said to Peter: 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Peter is just a man and he wasn't a pope. He wouldn't allow anyone to bow down to him.
I not condemning people. Just trying to point them in the right direction from condemning themselves. I was on my way to hell also like everyone else. I'm not perfect, nor will I ever be in and of my own self. That's why I need a Saviour to reconcile me.
You're getting closer to the truth. Understanding that eternal life is a free gift by the grace of God rather then through earning your way into Heaven is the next step.
A church can't save you. A fallible priest or pope can't save you. No dead prophet can save you. Only the perfect Son of God can if you will believe in him instead of yourself and your works.
Well nokundi, it's kind of like if there is a rule to follow at a job and you decide to go your own way and do everything against that rule. You wouldn't be there very long. It was your choice to do that, but it was the wrong choice. God says the only way into heaven is through his son and that ALL other ways are wrong. Once again, it is your choice.
The word of God says in Matthew: 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
There are 4200 religions in the world (the broad way).
But there is only one way that leads to Life...Jesus Christ (Christianity)
I gave you a direct answer to your question. Sin creates separation from God. If you don't receive the atonement of sins through Christ which has already been made for you, then you will end up eternally separated from God. Your choice
At the moment Christ took on the sins of the world he became momentarily separated from God. God is Holy and righteous and sin creates separation from God.
RE: Do you think the U.S. should take a neutral stance regarding Israel.
We need to back Israel at this point as corrupt as the US has become. To abandoned them now would be to cause God's wrath to come down on us.
