The Best of News: God is a pretty Good Guy
(and P.S. — there is no Hell … 😉 )

Seeing as how it’s Sunday, and quite a few of you (especially in the States) will be heading to church right about now, I thought I would put in a Good Word — for Christians & non-Christians alike — by reminding everyone that, at least according to one equally valid reading of the Bible, God (if He indeed exists) is actually a pretty nice guy — not really into damning or judging or punishing us sinners at all …

As such, I just thought you’d like to know that not only do you not have to worry about going to Hell after you die (Heck, even if you do end up there, you are going to be in FANTASTIC company), but that you also don’t have to waste your time worrying about being judged or condemned or even reprimanded as a “sinner” before you do so … So just get out there and use the time you have to be the best and most Kind and most Giving person you can be! … Peace.

“I will not execute my fierce anger … For I am God and no mortal, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath” ~ Hosea 11:9

P.S. For anyone out there needing even more “proof” of the aforementioned, consider the following:

“‘I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall ALL know me, from the least of them to the greatest,’ says the Lord, ‘For I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.'” ~ Jeremiah 31:33-34

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven; for He makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you only Love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? … Be perfect [in Love], therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect [in Love] … There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in Love. ” ~ (Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18)

He will swallow up death forever. Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from ALL faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from ALL the Earth.” ~ Isaiah 25:6-8

“At that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech,
