I remembered thoughtless Thursdays! here's the quote:
"When you are born the world rejoices while you cry, but, live life in such a way that when you will die the world will cry while you will rejoice"
— An old saying
In the light of the recent controversies over Rob Bell's new book (apparently coming out at the end of the month - maybe more thoughts on that later. maybe.) I've been challenged to think about the life-hereafter, and if Christ is truely the only way (Bell seems to say otherwise in the few blurps coming out from the book- we'll see what the book actually says!)
Christ himself stated he was the only way (John 10:28, 14:6, & 17:3, to name a few I've come across in reading John, and Mark 10:21); it is hard for me to consider any other alternative, as considering another alternative means giving up the only Truth there is, that is the Truth of Christ as Savior & Redeemer told through Scripture. Now I have no idea how to answer the question about "billions" of people going to hell - I simply don't - other than that the sense of deep justice that we have comes from God himself- therefore everything that happens on the other side of life must be both absolute justice and absolute Grace through Christ. (yes, citation needed!)
We'll have to keep the blogosophere (aka. our family members who read this blog diligently!) updated on our thoughts, convictions, and beliefs as the conversation continues.
Those are my thoughts on the matter now!
