If you were the person that influenced \/ dragged them there, surely your suffering will be multiplied beyond anything we can imagine.\u00a0 As much as we look into the eyes of those we love and are overwhelmed with joy, that good feeling will only add to the torment of hell.\u00a0 So leading people we supposedly love to a place of torment, is that loving them?\u00a0 If you are upset because God condemns sin, and you are willing to condemn yourself to hell, are you also willing to drag others with you?\u00a0 If you have been hurt, or are standing in allegiance with someone whom you love, is that worth going to hell and bringing your loved ones with you?<\/p>\n<p>I have found, that very few, if any, truly don\u2019t believe that God exists, no matter what they say.\u00a0 So what then?\u00a0 \u00a0In order to justify their lifestyles they either deny God or make up other ways to reach Him.\u00a0 Jesus said in John 14:6 \u2013 \u201cI Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life.\u00a0 No one comes to the Father except through Me.\u201d\u00a0 Jesus didn\u2019t leave room to believe in any other way.\u00a0 You either love and follow Him or you reject Him.\u00a0 He left no room for anyone to re-make Him into the image that most pleases oneself.\u00a0 He came to be the Way to God and to show us who God truly is.\u00a0 Jesus came and perfectly lived as our Father God called Him to live so that Jesus would perfectly represent God to us.\u00a0 Trying to remake Jesus into something that is more pleasing to us, whatever that is, is making an idol and is a travesty to God.<\/p>\n<p>So what is true love?\u00a0 Sharing the Truth of God or sharing a belief that is driven by selfish satisfaction and that, in the end, will be revealed that even the professor didn&#8217;t believe.\u00a0 Yes, this is a hard truth and yet I write to all that it is with great love and humility that it is delivered to you.\u00a0 The easy path is to go about my life and not share The Truth.\u00a0 I can\u2019t do that because I do love.\u00a0 I weep for those who push Jesus away.\u00a0 I worry and lament their future.\u00a0 Yet I am rescued from being overwhelmed with grief by the fact that our God is desirous to bring all to Him and He is also fully capable of doing so, if we are willing.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions, please let me know.\u00a0 If you would like to talk, please let me know.\u00a0 I am available to serve you however I am able.\u00a0 Not that I have all the answers, but I do know the truth, and In John 8:32 Jesus said \u201c<b><sup>32\u00a0<\/sup><\/b>And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.\u201d\u00a0 In John 8:36 Jesus said \u201cTherefore if the Son makes you\u00a0free, you shall be\u00a0free\u00a0indeed.\u201d\u00a0 I hope that truth and freedom, real truth and genuine freedom, sounds good to you.<\/p>\n<p>Is living one\u2019s chosen lifestyle worth leading yourself and those you profess to love to hell?\u00a0 I doubt that real love could believe that. \u00a0I hope that your self-styled religion is not more important than God Himself, or than people you love.\u00a0 God knows you.\u00a0 He knows everything about you.\u00a0 He knows your hurt and your shame.\u00a0 He certainly knows mine.\u00a0 Still, as He loves me, He loves you.\u00a0 He wants you to fully know Him.\u00a0 Take His hand and let Him lead you to heaven, where He wants you to be.\u00a0 Where you end up is your choice because Jesus, the real Jesus, made the Way.<\/p>\n<p>IHS
