Hell is being separated from family. Hell is being separated from God.<BR/><BR/>Faced with comtemplating my own death, the Devil's worst temptation for Jesus was that his death would be the end - that it would accomplish nothing.<BR/><BR/>The worst sin today is "educated" men denying the divinity of Christ. Denying his resurrection and that he can now lift us up. The miracle of healing represented the ability of Christ to restore life and lift the sick to health, the dead to life, and ultimately, to lift us up to his level through the atonement. Resurrection and life with God (and our families).<BR/><BR/>Dr Hamblin, you are an inspiration in your kindness and love of your fellow man.

In hell it is not at all.<BR/><BR/>I agree that most Christians do not act as if they believe hell really exists or that their neighbors might wind up there. <BR/><BR/>If Christians truly loved their neighbors as Jewish law commanded and as Jesus affirmed it, and if they looked beyond their own well-being to see the suffering of those held captive by the lies of the current age, then their behavior would be noticeably different.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, it is easier said than done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-1162252695291511092006-10-30T23:58:00.000+00:002006-10-30T23:58:00.000+00:00terry i don't know how it all adds up or subtracts...terry i don't know how it all adds up or subtracts out<BR/>anymore......but i see no reason to take human views<BR/>about all and anything seriously anymore as "truth function"......as culturally specific dramas they obviously exist.....as do hairstyles & clothing.<BR/><BR/>essentially,some other kind of ape is peering from the planet at the universe and struggling to understand. we are but recent arrivals.....the sparrows have been here a lot longer....perhaps "the truth is stranger than we can suppose"<BR/><BR/>if we chuck out traditional religious mind-sets of course we are dumped in the modern dilemmas of rather meaningless social forms of the exciting<BR/>consumer cultures......6.5 billion person scale<BR/>of complexity i cannot scale .<BR/><BR/>i like your blog very much. joeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
