SrSusan (Guest): War is hell on earth I think but usually it does end eventually-

Guest5650 (Guest): To spend eternity separated From God is the Worst Choice !
Dawn (Guest): someone who has never known God.
SrSusan (Guest): Sin is not much considered in ur cultures today
Ev Martinez-Regueiro: True meaning on having a true relationship with God Our Father I believe I would have been more sensitive towards what was acceptable to God.
SrSusan (Guest): Good point!
SrSusan (Guest): God is so united within Himself that I would imagine He and His Will are the same in union,

Dawn (Guest): If we love God we will also love to do what pleases him and what his will is for us
