Don't worry..this is not a vent against ANYTHING. I won't swear, or tell people NOT to believe something..The past few weeks this verse has been EVERYWHERE. The news, Sports pages, blogs, newspapers, on T-shirts..it's been used in a commercial during a play off game. (The commercial was awesome even if I don't agree with the group that sponsored it)
It got me thinking about it. Macen and I even had a discussion about it.
Macen asked what happens to people who don't believe in Jesus. That's a hard thing to answer. I really don't know. I told him that he didn't need to worry, that God has a plan for "non-believers" and he just needs to decide what HE believes. Still, that got me thinking.
I know what I believe. I have never doubted my faith in Jesus. I may have doubted some of his followers, but that's a whole other story.
I believe in everlasting life. It comforts me. It makes this life not so scary. It makes my heart happy to know that I will see my loved ones again. It makes me happy to know that I will continue upon a path of learning. I love my faith in Jesus. I love knowing that there is something bigger out there.
But what about those who don't believe in Jesus? Who don't follow the Bible? What happens to them? Does anyone know for sure?
Many people have given me their ideas, and they all seem, well, like ideas..not facts. Most were pretty cool..They (the non believers) will have an opportunity to believe... NonBelievers are judged differently than Believers...One person said that non believers will burn in hell...I didn't pay him much mind since he was praying to curse all Mormons. Anyway..I would like to know what you think..It might help with the "Macen Discussions"
I don't know what exactly you should tell Macen but I find great comfort in knowing/believing that wherever we end up, is where we will be most comfortable. If one doesn't believe in God, then that person will not be required to live in His presence. :)
