not when EVERYONE is invited. one only has to believe. utterly just on the part of the Father ... smile


See I can jive with that but the way Out Back worded it was that people believe because they're afraid not to. Like I'm a believer so I can get into Heaven...That's the selfish part. See if it were me writing the rules as God, I would've made no mention of Heaven or Hell and observed a man's character when he doesn't know there's a reward at the end. I think that would be a more altruistic way of testing a person's Faith. Hopefully I explained that clearly.


It is easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled.
