“He’s in Hell now!” “Burn in Hell, Timothy.” These are some of the headlines that were printed around the country the morning after Timothy McVay was executed. One of the things that I hate more than anything is when people judge others, and try to say where someone is going to land up after they die. Truth be told, you never know where someone is going to end up when they die; because you never know what is on their heart and soul the moment that they die. Timothy McVay could have said a perfect contrtion (expression of sorry and guilt), and could be in heaven now. We just don’t no the power and mercy of God.
Also, I don’t like it when religious people claim that they are going to heaven because they believe in God. Ladies and gentleman, there is a difference between believing in God, and trying to immitate Him. One must immitate God in order to get to heaven, not just merely believe. To merely believe is a cop-out, and justification for actions. One must act more like Christ when nobody is looking, not just when people are around. For example: a few months ago, a Promise Keepers event was being held here in the United States. After the group of men left to go home, the hotel reported that there was a huge increase in the number of porn movie subcriptions. These men have no problem professing their faith in public, but in private, they don’t live what they believe.
Let me close saying this: I’m a devout Catholic. I try to live by the faith on a daily basis, and preach by actions, not words. I am not holier than you; and I believe that you may have a better chance of reaching heaven that I do.
