>I had a hard enough time reading it through once. LOL, well I have to admit, I find it tough reading myself a great deal of the time.

Agreed, the OT is certainly full of a lot of fire and brimstone. But Hell is the true punishment for those that do not accept him.... another doctrine that many people have trouble understanding. C.S. Lewis explains it best for me, that hell is basically God allowing those who desired to stay apart from him in life, refusing to accept his love and salvation, to continue in that state. No fire and brimstone, just an eternity (whatever that may be, it may be a state of timelessness) of living apart from God and for one's self. >Sometimes I think the bible is like modern art.

Which I wonder is what the artist wanted? ;-) --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
