Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
OUR GOD IS A BIG GOD WHO CREATES BIG. When I look up into the sky I see a new masterpiece of HIS daily. When I look around the world and universe I marvel at HIS perfection. HIS sun, moon, stars, mountains, valleys and so much more. HE is also a personal GOD who runs to us when we are weary.
Here are a few mind blowing facts of GOD'S colossal handiwork.
1. If the sun were hollow, over one million earths could fit inside.
2. A star named Antares (if hollow) could hold sixty-four million of our suns.
3. In the constellation of Hercules there is a star which could contain 100 million of Antares.
4. The largest known star, Epsilon, could easily swallow up several million stars the size of the one in Hercules!
The universe contains as many stars as there are grains of sand on all the seashores of the world. Wow, that is too many for our scientists to count and name. Here is what the BIBLE says in Psalm 147:4, "HE telleth the number of the stars; HE calleth them all by their names".

Isaiah 40:26 says, "Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: HE calleth them all by names by the greatness of HIS might, for that HE is strong in power; not one faileth"
Our wonderful omnipotent and omniscient GOD, who is great in all power and majesty, creator of our awesome planet and universe; HE also " healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds", Psalm 147:3.
HE tends to our physical and emotional needs, but most important, HE tended to our soul by sending JESUS to take our punishment so we could have eternal life. That is how much HE loves us. FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE, HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. John 3:16
Here are some of the words to "My REDEEMER Lives" by Nicole C. Mullen. I love her depiction of all powerful GOD who's creation listens to HIM, but who also listens to HIS creation (man) when in need. Who tends to the broken hearted, who sent HIS SON to conquer death for us forever. HE is wonderful!!!
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning
Who told the ocean you an only come this far?
Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testify
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives
The very same God that spins things in orbit
He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory.
Yes, our CREATOR, knowing we would be sinners, still lavishes HIS LOVE upon us by aiding our every need, and most important, HE sent HIS SON to die for us, so we would have eternal life... PRAISE GOD HE BROUGHT US VICTORY!
GOD bless you all!

That was very inspirational.
However, I would like to point out one thing you said that, yes, is repeated over and over by many sincere Christians, something that is thought to be self-evident, but which is in reality a complete contratiction of everything Jesus originally taught about God's real nature--that God thinks we deserve to be eternally tortured for sin!
Actually, Jesus did not even believe in the existence of Hell, much less that we all deserve to go there!
I've actually written an entire book on this topic--"Hell? No! Why You Can Be Certain There's No Such Place As Hell," (for anyone interested, you can get a free ecopy of my book at my website: www.thereisnohell.com), but if I may, let me share one of the many points I make in it to explain why.
If one is willing to look, there's substantial evidence contained in the gospels to show that Jesus opposed the idea of Hell. For example, in Luke 9:51-56, is a story about his great disappointment with his disciples when they actually suggested imploring God to rain FIRE on a village just because they had rejected him. His response: "You don't know what spirit is inspiring this kind of talk!" Presumably, it was NOT the Holy Spirit. He went on, trying to explain how he had come to save, heal and relieve suffering, not be the CAUSE of it.
So it only stands to reason that this same Jesus, who was appalled at the very idea of burning a few people, for a few horrific minutes until they were dead, could never, ever burn BILLIONS of people for an ETERNITY!
True, there are a few statements that made their way into the copies of copies of copies of the gospel texts which place “Hell” on Jesus’ lips, but these adulterations came along many decades after his death, most likely due to the Church filling up with Greeks who imported their belief in Hades with them when they converted.
Bear in mind that the historical Protestant doctrine of the inspiration of the Scriptures applies only to the original autographs, not the copies. But sadly, the interpolations that made their way into those copies have provided a convenient excuse for a lot of people to get around following Jesus’ real message.

Rick,
I appreciate you visiting my blog, but I STRONGLY disagree with you. The BIBLE is the only TRUTH I believe in.
There is a literal Hell, and I pity anyone who ends up there. The BIBLE backs it up and the BIBLE is my only TRUE Authority. NO matter what man may say, I stand on the truth!
GOD bless you! I pray GOD will set you on the true path, because you are steering many people into an extreme lie.
