Carl, did you ever hear of the word "repentance"? It means for
one to be so sorry for his sins that he asks for forgiveness and DOES
THEM NO MORE. Christ's command is for us to repent and believe the
Gospel. Without sincere repentance, there is no forgiveness of sins. If
one is unwilling to repent of their hatred (which is the same as mental
murder) toward any person, he himself cannot be saved. Hitler, to our
knowledge, never repented of his hatred towards the Jews, and I do NOT
expect to see him in heaven. Most of those who "accept Jesus" will find,
to their everlasting sorrow, that Jesus never accepted them because of
their lack of Godly sorrow (which leads to repentance) over their sins.
Therefore, Carl, I call on you as well as on all those who have merely
"accepted Jesus" to sincerely repent of their sins and to surrender their
lives to Him as Lord of Lords. "And we know that NO murderer has eternal
life abiding in him." (from I John). The word of our LORD: "Except you
repent, you shall all likewise perish."
COMPASSIONATELY in the LOVE AND TRUTH beyond ALL loves and truths in
Christ Jesus our Lord,
Brother Michael
