My Own Prison

         ✝ ✝ ✝ It seems as though my father thinks that we are all going to hell. He seems to think that only some of the priests and some of the nuns are going to heaven, and of course, children. We discussed the supposed second "Christ," who will perform miracles and will remain on this Earth for thirty three years. After that time, the world is supposed to end. I don't believe in all this 2012 doomsday crap... Not even the angels in the sky know the date that the world will end. I don't think that God is willing to give up on our world yet, but still has the desire of bringing peace and stillness to Earth before he demolishes it. Therefore, God still has a lot to do before he would think of ending the world.. There's too much to be done for peace. My father believes that almost everything is a sin... he said swearing is a sin. If admittance to Heaven was so strict as to disallow those who swear, I am going to hell, (even though I'm a child). ✝ ✝ ✝

          ✝ ✝ ✝ Personally, I don't believe that God judges based on the sins we have committed, rather than the deeds we have done. This is what the Bible and all moral teachings are about, aren't they? Religion class.. church.. parents.. They all teach us to be good and decent people, but that does not mean that we all don't commit sins. The best people commit sins. Anyways, we learn to be kind and to be gracious and forgiving. We learn the difference between right from wrong. We also know that we learn from mistakes, meaning that sometimes, we choose wrong. Sometimes we choose wrong in favour of ourselves or another person, (for protection), and sometimes we do it out of guilt or anger and grief. ✝ ✝ ✝

         ✝ ✝ ✝ In my opinion, my father is inaccurate. His statements are missing a key fact and ingredient; God is a wonder, and He is merciful and looks past all our sins, especially if we repent. If we are morally strong, and spread the teachings of Jesus, instead of the common hatred, God will see us as his true children. Good shall triumph over evil. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Jesus' teachings were healing, peace, good. For no matter what sins we commit, if we believe in God and Jesus and all that is above, we will rise up to Heaven. I believe. Do you? ✝ ✝ ✝
