As Palm Sunday Approaches...

With Palm Sunday coming on this weekend I would like to share why I still believe in life after death, the forgiveness of God through Jesus' atoning Sacrifice, and the aim of reconciliation by God. In my life there has been very upsetting times, the breaking up with my high school sweetheart, dropping out of college, the onset of schizophrenia, the times I thought about suicide seriously enough to get myself hospitalized,...
Then my mind found rest from its demons in faith in God and His Son Jesus. Fear gave way to boldness to curse the hordes of demons to whatever hell they deserved, but also there was hope God could save everyone who came to Him, including Judas, Satan and his minions, as well as evil men like Hitler. Why such belief? What is man that God would only give His forgiveness to him and his posterity? Why would man's disobedience be forgivable but not Lucifer's rebelliousness? If God could forgive those coming to Him for reconciliation why not all that are in a mind to keep themselves from any grave offense and live a harmless to all spirit life? Why not forgive Judas, Hitler and the devil if they can keep themselves from harming others spirit?
Of course many would argue forgiveness is only in Christs blood and only for mankind because he is made in God's image, or something like that. Yet let me remind those who did not read my Bible verses post that in the book of James in the New Testament of the Bible the law of liberty/freedom is how we are to behave as judged by.
Now liberty is special to me as I look around at Humanity and see so many people arrested for taking recreational liberty to activities harming no one else but participating parties and wonder why humans cannot let their neighbor be free to indulge in other than alcohol to get high, marriage to breed if they want to have sex or see the opposite sex nude, and games without gambling if they want to have fun,... So seeing the law to be as judged by in James lifted my spirit that God is not a tyrant wanting to rule our recreational lives and our relationships, but instead hints at a more Heavenly liberty in His courtroom.
So I believe in God, Creation, His Christ, and forgiveness because of the great hope and comfort of Salvation, eternal life, and Heavenly liberty. It has calmed my mind, is far better for my emotional health than godlessness, disbelief, or fearing the spirits or hallucinations at work on hate in my head. If you can believe, it may just calm your mind too...
