Brad,

I'm going to evoke "Administrative privilege", aka: cheat! . I'm going to deviate a bit from the topic at hand, but I assure you with the best of intentions in the hope to point out how our emotions sometimes (often?) rule our minds on specific "touchy" subjects.

The subject is the attitude of those who have lost loved ones on this earth in comparison to the saints in glory in regard to the judgment of those who are condemned to eternal punishment. Let me first make it very, very clear that I am NOT even hinting that we who are yet alive are not entitled to grieve at the loss of others who are outside of Christ. The point I hope to bring to the forefront is the difference in perspective between how God views things through the eyes of His saints in glory and those of whom are yet living.

No doubt, Jonathan Edwards' sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is one of the most assailed sermons ever preached by a man, other than a few teachings uttered by our Lord Christ, Who wasn't a "Casper Milquetoast" as the moderns love to paint Him. But there is another sermon preached by Edwards which is far more unpalatable albeit hardly mentioned. And, this is what I would desire you to read. If you have already read this odious sermon (I personally think it is one of his very best since it is 'awfully true'.), perhaps you would take the time to read it once more? The title is typically one of those mini-tomes as was the custom during those days of yore:

Go here: THE END OF THE WICKED Contemplated ...CASION OF GRIEF TO THE SAINTS IN HEAVEN.

In His grace,
