>>>I would be more than willing to help, but I would have to do it on my own terms,

I add the following: We are alive to help one another, and to help one another rightly, as part of a community working together for the betterment of all.

It is very simple, Lutz: We are alive to help one another.

The help I offer is right help. It is right because of who it comes from (Jesus Christ and His teachings). It does not come from me, and I point all men to Him with everything I do because His is the only true help which exists. His is of such a kind that it simply is that which is most desirable, most profitable for all. There is no other "help" which comes close, and all other "help" is not help, but is distraction.

Lutz, I will be explicitly banned for my faith before I back down from leading others to Jesus Christ. If I stand alone in this world shouting His name, and everyone desires to have me slain, then I will still shout His name because of what He's done for me in my life, and because I have the change in me, and I have come to know the plans He has for all people, plans to prosper them and not to harm them, and what He seeks to do for all men in all of their lives is nothing short of the most extraordinary thing imaginable.

Jesus is the only reason to live in this world. I stand with that testimony and I urge everyone reading this post to consider the entirety of their life, not just that point up until death, but the entirety of their life, and the things they do each day, and the reasons why they are done. All we do must be founded upon Jesus Christ, or it will not endure, and is just busywork. But all things founded upon Jesus Christ are real, solid, and will endure because of the One they are founded upon.

I testify to each of you that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to enter into the Kingdom of God. No one comes to The Father except through Him. And I desire from within my heart, of love, in love, through love, guiding each of you from within that love, to repent and come to believe, and in so doing to be saved from the coming destruction of your eternal souls in Hell.

This is not a trifle or an idle consideration. Each of us must make the choice, and a person need only look at the teachings of Jesus Christ to know who He is:
(1) Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength,
(2) Love your neighbor as yourself.

His is a Kingdom of Love. Eternal Love where everybody helps everybody in love. Who could ask for anything more?

Jesus is His name. He is the way to that Kingdom of Love, and He is the way to peace, joy, and that unending. Those who enter into His Kingdom will be forever changed and there will be no darkness, no heat, no cold, no tears, but we will be restored to that which was lost in the fall of man through original sin.

Jesus has done it all, and I will proclaim His name forever.
