I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.
"And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue."
"Hush, child," He said, "they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you."
Ouch!
Good one, LVP.

OLD Path You refuse to address the questions I put to you so I guess it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you wear a white long sleeve shirt. Have no facial hair.
You can yoke yourself to any old dog that walks as long as he doesn't call himself trinity.
Is that a fair assessment??
Jesus did not have a white shirt and He had a bread...but of course He would not be invited some places...I personally do not like beards but to say there is Bible to say someone is lost because of a bread we would have Jesus and many great apostles buring in hell...
I think holiness is wonderful but a white shirt is not holiness...besides that they are hard to take care of on the mission field...I had rather my husband use colored shirts...
How foolish can we be?
I think and all that know me KNOW I believe in being modest however I do not think white shirts have anything to do with being a christian.

I think you need to pray to, if you really felt we all were lost you would post with humility draped in compassion.
I dont see Christ in your posts, it's really sad.
Let me give you some wisdom, you being an older man in the ministry should want to be a "father" to those that are younger than you, that they would want what you have and want to hear what you have to say, instead you push us all away with your jabbing comments.
Here this scripture might help you to understand what is taking place here:
Col 3: 21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
I know we are not your children, but provoking people to anger is still not of God.
