I was requested to post this…

“At this time I’d like to ask Brian to compose a post abnout God’s proverbial “Can of Whoop-Ass. I feel it would be appropriate.”

By Popular Request I will attempt to show you my OWN thoughts on the salvation, I have come to know. (This is my own opinion)

“…The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7 (KJV)

I was once asked what would be one word I would use to some up God in, if I could describe one characteristic in detail what would He be: I said “Scary”. I know someone who says that they love God and describe Him as scary, has a few screws loose, let me explain. When I came to the Lord, I wasn’t an average run-of-the-mill, kid. I was a junkie, I had been a junkie since the age of nine years old and not much scared me at all in this point of my life, not violence, not neglect…nothing, I was ready for death (I’d already had been near it a few times by this point). I was twelve years of age when I was sitting down in a church, listening to an Evangelist talking about the end times, hell and brimstone. Before the end of that sermon, I ran to that altar and asked the Lord into my life and to forgive me of all my sins, and He did, He also did something else that also changed my life, He cleaned me up, I never have touched drugs since that point. So when I was asked why was I saved, I said “Fear” Fear of the Lord. Picture if you will my thoughts on this: God, omniscient, Alpha and Omega, everlasting Creator sitting in Heaven watching, watching His children that He has been trying to save and help just spit on His commandments. As one sins God, God holds up a Can of Spiritual Whoop-ass and looks upon us and yells “Do it, do it and I’ll fucking spank you!” and as we as all His children do, we fall (sin) He raises this can of spiritual Whoop-ass, that when poured on damns you like lightning straight to Hell, as humans we don’t deserve any better. Just as for example: I sinned, just as we all do. God looks down and grabs the can, the can that will damn my soul, Jesus grabs his hands and looks at His father and says “No Dad” “You see that man, the one who just sinned, I died for him. You see the holes in my hand; do you remember when the people pounded nails into them? Do you remember me looking up to you? I died for Him.” Then God replies “This one too?” Jesus replies “Yes, he’s a stupid kid but, he’s mine, see he just prayed for forgiveness?.” God sets the Can of Spiritual Whoop-ass back on the shelf and waits to hear the same lecture from His Son in about five minutes, when I slip again. I know this makes me sound like a heretic but, it’s my light-hearted thoughts on how it works in Heaven.

*The Lord knows that I am not mocking Him and the dialogue between God and Jesus is totally fictitious. This is just how I perceive in my mind, the way Jesus, the Son of God shows infinite mercy on his stupid children. Remember before you throw a rock at me for my own thoughts. Remember “…He who is without sin cast the first stone…” John 8:7 (look it up)
