evil and no way to please G - d even when righteous), threatened with being «left behind»
in the rapture (should I fail on some doctrinal (belief) point at the crucial moment)... I refuse to consider ANY possibility of hell at all.

evil intent, but the God who has created all
things, the God that no one especially you can not contain.Ignorance is your choice but that will not negate the existence of God
in any way.No one that i am aware of has all the answers at this point regarding spiritual
things, evolution or evilution there are areas God has not yet revealed to mankind but every day more is discovered.I find it amazing that God is big enough to share discovery even with those who would reject Him.

evil of greed and egotism
in Gollum, stunted and ingrown out of moral shape by years of lust for the ring; we recognize again the essential anguish of seeing beautiful and frail

evils would be spread by Russia across the world (an extraordinary statement to make to children living
in an obscure corner of Portugal with limited access to any knowledge of Russia or indeed to anywhere else outside their local area).
This question of the physical

thing.
