False, Heretical Tests Of Faith
Mark John Ostrum - 2011-11-09 00:00:00
I got this email yesterday - Thought it very nice - until the end - where it throws that ever present annoying insulting infuriating curve ball - the "You will be judged based on whether or not you pass this one on as either a follower of Christ or Satan". I'm not sorry - this crap infuriates me. This is NOT how God judges us.
It is time for those who profess to be Christian to stop sending these things around. Instead, read your Bibles and get a grip on what God expects of us and how he judges us. This is NOT the work of God in this type of email message.
This is in fact a form of witchcraft and superstition, which is honoring false gods. God said, "I am a jealous God. You will have no other gods before me" (paraphrased).
It is time for Christians to stop believing in false promises of blessings and simply read, understand, and LIVE the Word of God in the Bible. And also stop trying to shame the weak into doing stupid things like following instructions to forward a stupid email.
The email received:
Let me know what happens to you the morning after you open this e-mail.
This is an unusual one. It actually gives you a time tomorrow. Let's see if it works.

Forward this message the same day you receive it. It may sound ridiculous, but it is right on time. We believe that something is about to happen. Angels exist, only sometimes they haven't got wings and we call them friends; you are one of them!
Something wonderful is about to happen to you and your friends. Tomorrow at 8:23 am somebody will call you and tell you something you have been waiting to hear.
SAY THIS PRAYER
Heavenly Father; I Come to you As Humble As I Know How. I Confess My Sins, Those Known & Unknown. Lord, you Know I'm Not Perfect & I Fall Short Every day Of My Life. I Just Want to Take Time Out to Say Thank you. Thank you for your Love. Thank you for your Mercy. Thank you for your Grace. Thank you for My Home, Car, Food, Life, and Everything I Do Have. I Realize That this Life I'm Living Is Full Of Trials & Tribulations But Thank you for Not Putting More On Me Than I Can Bear.
Please Send This Prayer to Every 1 in your directory & The Next Time you Get Ready to Complain, Tell The Devil you are A Blessed Child Of God & you Have More to Be Thankful for Than to Worry About. We Must Go Thru The Storm to Appreciate The Sunshine!
This is a test to see who has more followers. Jesus or Satan.
If Jesus, forward to ten people,
If Satan close the e-mail!
God is going to fix two things (BIG) tonight in your favors!
God bless!
Thanks
So, don't pass this on for a blessing. But please do pass it on for awareness to others.
