Our sins do not wound God they wound us and remove us from the orbit of God's Love. Not because God's Love is lacking but because our love was lacking through sin.<BR/><BR/>I have written many times in different posts on my blog.<BR/><BR/>Sin is NOT a feeling it IS a choice.<BR/><BR/>But, there is a remedy sincere contrition and Confession.<BR/><BR/>I cannot say who goes to Heaven and who goes to hell that is God's Role. But what I can say is that God's Mercy is real as real as His Justice and it is those who love God who will atone for the sins of many. St. Edith Stein understood this.<BR/><BR/>A really excellent post WhiteStoneNameSeeker:)Very thought provoking. Let us not presume on God's Mercy as if it were a lollie shop but instead recognise His Majestic Love in forgiving us.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you:)<BR/><BR/>Your friend,<BR/><BR/>Marie:)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337722432805966125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273966180335113029.post-57626906677650419002008-04-04T20:17:00.000-07:002008-04-04T20:17:00.000-07:00Very correct, and very right of you to pray for th...Very correct, and very right of you to pray for those people.<BR/><BR/><BR/>God is infinite mercy; we cannot fathom the scope of His forgiveness.<BR/><BR/>Being infinite mercy also means He is also justice personified.<BR/>And justice means that some people are hellbound.<BR/>GOD doesn't send anyone to hell.<BR/><BR/>We send ourselves there. <BR/><BR/>Good post. I will pray for your friends tonight as well.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840370708098022422noreply@blogger.com
