(((((Dear Stacy Smith,)))))
As a Christian, I sincerely believe/embrace that if I/we remain faithtful to God, He will not destroy me/us because God has deep affection for all whom He considers His own Children. God does NOT destroy His children - He reproves them lovingly,instead. If I was to choose the path of Independence from Him and ignore His Laws, then God would consider me and my family His adversaries. The price of adversity from God is everlasting death.
What path do you prefer, Tracy? God's Path of Righteousness that will stand forever, or the Path of Independence from God that will lead you to everlasting death?
