My Own Benefit

There was a man whose kids found a dog and wanted to keep it. The man decided that he would look for the owner and if the owner couldn't be found, then he would let his kids keep the dog. They were unable to find the owner and so he let his kids keep the dog. Years went by and the dog got old and started to get sick. The man explained to his kids that the dog was old and would probably not get better. He suggested to his kids that the dog isn't happy and maybe they should put the dog to sleep so that he doesn't suffer anymore. The oldest son went and got a gun and, as an act of love, killed his dog, putting him out of his misery.

(Contrary to popular belief, I believe that when people go to hell, they will burn up and die. I will be working on a study that will give biblical support my belief.)

As sinners, we are not happy. If I didn't make it to heaven and had to go to hell, I could accept that. I know that if I don't make it to heaven it is because I wouldn't be happy in heaven. Would I be happy in hell? Of course not but, I wouldn't be there for very long because I will burn up and die. Now I don't want to burn up and die either but, I would rather do that than spend eternity in a place where I am not happy. So, as an act of love, God will allow us to die, putting us out of our misery. Whether I go to heaven or hell, it is for my own benefit.

I was on the phone with Rosa again and I had explained this to her. She told me that I have a beautiful picture of God. I have published a bible study online that gives an overview of what the bible is about. In it, you get a picture of how much God really loves us. It is called, "The Great Chase". If you show this to anyone, tell them to enter their real name otherwise, they might be disappointed.
