Ezekiel 3:12-21: God tells Ezekiel that he's responsible for telling people to repent from their iniquities, and if they don't change he's not responsible.......That's what people do today. Put up billboards, have rallies, stand on soap boxes yelling repent and then figure, well, we told them, let them go to hell; instead of walking alongside them in their distress. We're all in the Universe together. Religions seem to separate people more than bring them together.
Luke 9:18-27: Jesus asks the disciples who they think he is. Peter says the Christ of God. A little further in the passage Jesus says, he whosoever loses their life for my sake, shall save it...... Is this encouraging martyrdom? I've never been a fan of martyrdom. Sometimes in an emergency situation you have to make decisions about risk to help someone else survive, but just to die for some belief doesn't make sense to me. That's where a belief in eternal life can lead you to make idealistic decisions that maybe aren't so smart in the long run.
