Hold the Morphine till he does what I say! Part 1

Recently I posted on my facebook that I wanted someone to explain to the the theory behind denying someone medicines to relieve his distress and discomfort because someone else wanted him to be coherent enough to accept Jesus Christ before he died so he didn't go to hell.

OK...listen.  I've read it, ok?  I know what the Bible says.  Now for those of you who have read it I need for you to tell me where it says that if people don't accept JC you should do your best to strong arm them into believeing in their final hours.  A very smart lady once said to me, when someone asks why I am a Christian and why I believe all that crap she said.....it doesn't matter what I believe or what you believe, if I am wrong what will I have lost in living my life this way, if you are wrong you stand to lose a lot more.  I don't subscribe to the exclusionist theory, but her message was....do what you want, it's your decision.  I've made mine, you make yours.  Maybe we'll see each other on the other side and maybe not.  She defused the criticism without slaying the critic.

So the most effective Christian I have ever known is a lady I knew in Frankfort.  She was funny, smart, loving, honest, open, caring and humble.  She didn't wear her Christianity like a medal of honor won on the battlefield.  She wore it in action and attitude.  People are drawn to her and love her because of who she is AND what she is spiritually.  She's magnetic and even if she is talking about dog walking or the blessings in her life she is just as passionate and positive.  That's the Christian I am drawn to.  That's the person who is walking what she is learning and NOT talking.  She will tell you about her faith, if you ask.  She will invite you to church or bible study, if you show interest.  She will engage you in conversation frequently that will gently lead you to asking about going to church and open the door.....but she never attempts to drag you up the hill and into the church door.  When you think about someone you want to be like and the spark you want in your life and the loving attitude you wish you could have....that is the person you are drawn to and want to understand Christ with and through.
