Hi Peanut
So in short, God chose who would be considered "his children" or the people that would go with him to heaven.
So if God has predestined you to be saved why did Jesus have to die on a cross, if you are predestined to be in heaven then surely it doesn't matter what you do, you are destined to be in heaven, makes Jesus' paltry gesture fairly pointless.
So I feel bad when I see people who are denying the name of Christ, because they may be one of the Elect, or the people who are going to hell because they do not have faith in Jesus.
Well if they are one of the elect it doesn't matter if they deny Christ, they will still be in heaven.
The Christian abuse of the concept of Hell is one of the greatest horrors ever inflicted upon mankind. This childish myth has been the main component of a faith that has persecuted countless thousands for hundreds of years, a faith full of prejudice and bigotry, a faith that is based on a fairytale.
Guess what, Jesus Christ used to live in me too, but I got cured with a small dose of common sense.
Brian.
