What have you done with your soul?

This seems like a off the wall question, but have you thought about it? What did your father and mother teach you about morals?

Manners? Your mother probably told you something like: “Don't to talk with your mouth full, you will choke!” or “Don't talk with your mouth full it is impolite!” or “Nobody wants to see your food!”. My dad told us “Stand up straight”, “Give a firm hand shake and look them straight in the eye when you are talking to someone”, “If you give your word, make sure that you do what you have promised.” --for every word you say, you should be ready to standby. These are simple examples of values you may have been given. I know that I have heard them before.

Forgiveness, Why?

The world is in a terrible place, The End Days and all. Prophetic events are all around us, Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel....

I have been listening to someone who is seeking to understand what is right and is therefore evaluating what they are hearing, seeing and then learning. People that can do that are great examples for all people. I wonder if the person knows about the covenant at Mt. Horeb? By the way the Soul is the death I fear, not the body. Oh, that is what Ezekiel 18 is taking about. It is the body that gets punished as a group, hence the curses to teach (Lev. 26). Our children usually act as we have shown them to act, we give them the values they live their lives by therefore the values that the parents live by will usually be how the children live, once in a while someone will think that something is wrong and try to change their life. That is why punishment is said to go to the 3rd and 4th generation. The person mentioned above chose to see and change, I have chosen to do so, there are others that change, not many, not enough.( --Personal note: I was asked “Why should I be forgiven?” While I was taken aback, I have already given much thought about the need and reasons for forgiveness. If you have no chance to escape Sheol(Numbers 16:30), then why should a person even try to be good, it could be said as "I might as well do whatever I want." This has been played out in some movies in the U.S. If all you need to do is Confess to the L'RD, Change Your ways and sin no more, You do have a reason to change and to hope.--)
