The Wall Between Heaven & Hell

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel," the Pope told journalists. 

The Pope is condemning Trump for talking about walls? He says it's not Christian? He is right, it's not Christian but it doesn't stop religions (including Christianity) from building walls everyday in their own lives. 

Albeit, I'm not a Catholic and I am not as educated in that religion as some others but I do know that most Christians believe in a Wall that separates Heaven from Hell. A Wall that separates those they believe are good or bad, a wall that separates believers from non-believers. Non-believers as defined by their religion which can separate you from others based simply on what name you call God. If your God is Allah then you aren't getting over that wall. If your God is Buddha, you probably aren't getting over it, either. Even the kindest and most loving atheists will not be allowed over that wall. It is all determined by their interpretation of God's Word. 

There is a Wall, it was defined and built thousands of years ago by men, not God. Men who took Gods words and defined them the way they desired, rather than the way God intended. Men who misconstrued, twisted and crucified both God's words and Jesus' actions. 'God so loved the world' became God only loves Christians and the rest will be thrown over a wall into a pit they call Hell. 

Hell is actually a place that anyone can create. It can be in your country, it can be in your home and it can be in your mind and heart. It is separate from Heaven because it involves placing walls between people based on personal judgment of others. Gods love doesn't tell you to judge -anyone other than yourself. We are a people that looks out, looks up and looks down but rarely look within ourselves. We have been taught these ways and we blindly follow them, as if we aren't smart enough or good enough to find our own way.  

When you start looking within yourself, you may find many walls that are creating Hell in your life.

A physical wall separating Mexico and the United States will be the manifestation of what already exists in many religious Christians hearts. The idea that you can separate yourself from others, remove yourself from sinners and live happily ever after is a fairytale. To live in Heaven even when your life may seem like Hell is a spiritual path that removes all the walls you have built within you. Becoming one with all people and seeing the truth - God so loved the whole world, not just a few that He offered His only Son (the Word), Love as the solution to living in Heaven every day.

The Pope, who seems like an extraordinarily loving human being lives most of his life behind a WALLED citadel, ironic isn't it?

You Can't Trust Ted

If Cruz cannot make the effort to get his facts straight for his personal profile and biography then why would anyone think he would make an efficient and reliable  president? After all, being President would require knowledge of facts to make good and right decisions. 

It is completely understandable that a child would believe everything their parent or others told them but an adult should seek facts rather than simply believe what they are told, it is their responsibility to find truth. 

Hebrew 5:12-14

In college we were required to write a short history of our ancestors who had migrated to Texas. My mother was a storyteller and despite hearing her version of our family history since I was a child - I refused to write her version of events without fact checking. In some areas her words proved to be true but in others it was unclear how the stories got so misconstrued, but I was certainly glad I made the effort to seek out the facts. I would have been embarrassed by my repetitions of her stories, which in many instances had been embellished and possibly plagiarized with other people's history. 
It is pure "laziness" to simply accept someone else's words rather than seeking the truth personally. 11 Thessalonians 3:6-8

Ted's actions show that he is NOT ready to become the President of the United States. His actions denote his inexperience and suggest a complete lack of understanding just how vitally important knowledge will be in making decisions for our country. 

It is imperative, in my opinion, that we elect a President who either seeks TRUTH and facts personally or who at the very least hires researchers - diligent seekers who will find the Truth, Knowledge and Facts needed to make good and right decisions. 

It's very difficult to TrusTed when Ted does not make the effort or take the time to find Truth himself and get his facts straight, nor does he hire individuals obviously who can get the job done right, either. Ted may have a future in politics and even as the First Hispanic President but at the moment he doesn't seem to understand that our country must come first, not his personal political ambitions.
