What if you wanted to be chosen for decades and thought you were, then found out you weren't.
Perhaps when you "found out you weren't" that was God trying to help you - just a thought.....
I don't see how it can be argued that there is a certain arrogance of aire when someone believes that Sky-Daddy has picked them as son/daughter, thus favoring them for everlasting cloud-dweller while planning a hot southern retreat for us 'uncalled and unchosen'.
Who said you are "uncalled and unchosen"? Did you come to this conclusion yourself due to past experience's?
I view myself as a christian and I certainly do not think that way - I believe christ died for all mankind, not just for a select elite few or some particular group.
Their is hope for us all yet.........
