Jesus Christ died for ...More and more I really do. Jesus Christ died for my sins. However, He did not die for the consequences of my sins. Those are mine and mine alone. I am cleansed even though I came late to the table. (God bless the Bishop for saying it so well!) But I am also reaping a bitter harvest of past plantings. It’s funny. Many of my fields were gathered by others but none of the bitter ones. <BR/><BR/>I was not aware that angels sorted fish. <BR/><BR/>TrogTroglodyteushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857794477598373164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-37274121597448095442007-08-20T11:16:00.000-04:002007-08-20T11:16:00.000-04:00Trog - You think so? Really? I'm not so sure. Y...Trog - <BR/><BR/>You think so? Really? I'm not so sure. Yes, clearly we are warned about not bearing good fruit. But the harvesting of that fruit is always left to God, not to us. See Matthew Ch. 13 - the farmer tells the workers to leave the weeds be and they will be separated at harvest time from the wheat. And it's the angels - God's direct agents - who will sort out the good fish from the bad. It's not up to us to do the judging about the worthiness of other people. Cursed here and in the hereafter? I'm not sure it's our place to say. I try hard enough to ensure my own place in God's realm; I don't have time, and don't want the responsibility, of trying to figure that out for others. That sort of task is above my pay grade. <BR/><BR/>RFSJ<BR/><BR/>RFSJRFSJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164772153139719659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301858169187263690.post-677534932931772842007-08-19T18:38:00.000-04:002007-08-19T18:38:00.000-04:00Woe to those who have potential but bear no fruit....Woe to those who have potential but bear no fruit.
