Heb 10:26,27 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Heb 10:3131 [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Mk 10:28-31 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.

Lk 14:26-27 26 If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

2Co 2:15 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved,and in them that perish: To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for these things?

Mt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

^{1Pe 1:16} I know that being a Christion means that my wife and I will have to clean up our act but please don’t expect us to become a couple of "holy-rollers"-- if you know what I mean. ^{Heb 12:14} Please don’t misunderstand me, we want to be"holy" but we just don’t want to be "saved" from all our sins just yet. ^{1Th 4:7} Does that make any sense to You? ^{Heb 10:26-27} For now we would just like to be "justified" and I think we can work out the smaller details of "sanctification" later. ^{Heb 10:31} Don’t You?

^{Mk 10:28-31} Furthermore, I know that Peter and the rest of the apostles have given up everything to follow You.

^{Lk 14:26-27} But is that really necessary? ^{2Co 2:15} When I stop and think about it, all this talk about persecution, dying to self, and living and thinking only of You gets a little frightening. ^{Mk 8:35} Please forgive me but we have lives to live too You know. ^{2Ti 2:2-5} Besides, is it really necessary to have "full membership" cards? ^{Ga 1:8} Have You ever thought about "guest" cards or "part time" membership cards?

^{Col 2:8} Think about it. If You gave out these other cards, You could get alot more people who would want to join You in heaven instead of having to send them all to Hell! it seems only logical to me that You would want more people in heaven than in hell anyway.^{Lk 13:23-24}

^{Isa 55:9}

^{Act 8:20} And one last thing, if You will let us join You, my wife and I would be willing to go so far as to tithe and join a prayer chain.

Thank You for Your time.

Sinsearly,

Mr. and Mrs. Carnality

^{1Ti 1:19-20 Rom 8:13}

P.S. We know a alot of people just like us who would love to join You under these terms. ^{Mt 25:41}
