Thanks to Porter

A funny thing happened on the way to my email this morning. I got a long message from Porter Stansberry. His message was so interesting, (and so convincing) that I decided to write a reply, and here it is: Thank you for this comprehensive analysis. Your perception and analysis is quite accurate. Even so, it borders on irrelevance. That's because, the largest, most important issue of this life is what happens at the end of it - and how that belief, or determination, relates to our decisions about how this earthly life ought to be conducted. There was a man (he happened to be a Jew) who lived 2000 years ago. He lived, and he taught, in a manner that was disruptive to the Roman/Hebrew culture of that Palestinian era. His message of peace, self-control, love of fellow man, and yes, love of our Creator, was well received by many people. Nevertheless, his revolutionary message of love and compassion for others - especially people of low status - that message, along with his mounting popularity - landed him in the precarious middle of a cultural, Empirical controversy. And so the powers that be got together and solved their problem by putting an end to Him. But not to worry. Three days after his execution, Jesus woke up. He awakened - not from sleep - but from death itself.

And if you believe that, I've got some real estate in heaven that we'll share with you. By the way, this message is the most important that you will ever receive. The consequences surrounding the end of each (of our) human life. . . are far more important to consider and act upon than any worldly issue, whether its global warming, climate change, personal identity, sexual identity, magamania, peace on earth, pieces of the pie, or any politician's lie. . . So therefore, I recommend that you educate yourself about this man, Jesus, and his message of eternal peace and love. You can read all about it in the best-selling book on this planet. . . you know that old volume that is usually contained in a black cover. You can find it in most bookstores, all libraries, and in the shelves of many of your neighbors. Just ask around. You won't be disappointed. I guarantee, and if you don't believe me. . .as Dylan said. . ."look around you; its bound to make you embarassed." This life is quite confusing, so it's not really worth hanging onto. So follow the example of the One who conquered death itself. King of Soul
