What is a life?

[beata]

Sorry guys for interrupting, but do you really think that your nationality, religion, family background etc. matter when it comes to life?
I think that life is what you make out of it. no matter whether you're a Jew , a Roman Catholic or a Baptist.

Beata, AMEN to that.
Love your fellow EARTHLINGS. Do RIGHT the first time, that way you do not have to pray like hell for forgiveness.( Not that it matters.) If you do make an error, back up and correct your error and make things right. Simple enough. I hope that you will have a great HOLIDAY SEASON.

Dear B.Ungaro

I am back! Briefly. It has been busy the last few days. Thank you for the compliment. However, I am older than you think. I also have 5 children. I have been around a while. I won't say how long.
The lady with the cancer is in a private room now undergoing Chemotherapy. Her stomach was removed due to cancer. They give her an above normal prognosis. I know you disagree with me about this subject but that is fine. I do believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and that He is able to forgive and cleanse mankind. I do not agree with abortion or the bombing of abortion clinics. I believe in respecting all forms of authority, however, if the laws prevent me from worshiping my God then I must suffer the consequences. I will still pray and worship. I do not bomb, or get revenge. I willingly suffer the consequences. Many false preachers and prophets are out there and hurt the name of Christ. Many politicians and leaders have used Christianity for their own agendas. I originally gave my response to the question being posed "what is life." Everyone shared their beliefs. I never criticised anyone else for their belief. I did share my faith. I only went further when you responded directly to my statement about life on Dec 7. I do not get into arguments but only take the message of Jesus Christ to all who will receive. Jesus died to pay for our sins. Communicating over the internet in a combative tit for tat is no good. If I have offended you, I apologize. I have a lot to say to answer your accusations about Christians, however, it only breeds more and more controversy. Your desire for me to keep my faith in my home, heart and church will not happen. Christ has changed me and wherever I go Christ goes. I know you will have something to say about this message but that is fine. I cannot follow every rabbit trail you go down. I do not have the time. I would be glad to answer one question at a time if you want to go that route, but this building of more and more accusations gets too big and cumbersome. My family is getting together for Christmas at different times. We have a large and joyous time together. A traditional Christmas. We open gifts at relatives and eat large meals prepared for our families. We go out shooting clay pigeons on the farm and ride bikes and play video games and so forth. We sing and play instruments and pray together. We are a very close and well extended family. We also go and give food and gifts to individuals who are in very difficult situations especially single moms. they have it very hard during this time of year. God has been good to my family and my relatives. I hope you have a nice holiday in Las Vegas with your family. Well, I had better go. Life is brief, it is like a vapor, it appeareth for a short time then vanishes away. Thanks to all who have read this.

Dear Bill4USA,
I agree, no need to be contrary anymore. Time will settle everything. Let us all do the best to spread peace and kindness. Wish you and your family a great Holiday Season.
Good Luck.
