So, Crusty, my Friend,
Will YOU stand before Jesus Christ at the Great White Throne Judgment -- or at the Bema Seat Judgment? Which will it be for my dear Friend, Crusty?
And, what will your answers be when Jesus asks you, "Why have you refused to go to church all those years? Why have you refused to fellowship with My church, my body of believers? Why have you refused to do as I instructed in the Great Commission I left for you, and be My witness to all the world?"
What will YOU tell Him -- that will be truly valid answers? Remember, when you DO answer those questions -- you will be looking Him in the eye, face to face. That will not be anything like throwing stones at Bill Gray on the Religion Forum, under the cover of a phony pseudonym. Instead, it will be looking our Lord and Savior straight in the eye -- and giving Him an answer that, for once in your life, will have to be true.
My Friend, now is the time, while you are still in your mortal body -- to prepare yourself to stand before Him and answer those questions. In other words, now is your time to cram for your Final Exam! Please use this time wisely; for there are no do-overs, no make-up tests.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill

Since I already have a relationship with God any question you might think of will have been answered long before I get there. Instead of spending all my time studying for an exam in an effort to fool God - such as you do - I'm actively living a Christian life. Can you say the same? Have you ever actually helped another human being, or is it all about you? Have you really taken the Bible to heart, or are you just a street corner preacher, attempting to show a "Good Christian" facade, hoping against hope to yell your way into heaven? I'll paraphrase an old margarine commercial for you, "you can't fool God".
So, how about it Bill - you have accused me of slurs against Christians, the Bible, God, and Jesus. Can you show me any, or are you just going to go into street corner preacher mode again?
