We were given free will so that we could choose what was important to us. We will be judged on what we thought was important and what we did about it.
Many of us don’t realize how easily we are manipulated into worrying about Imaginary Problems. They are especially obvious in endless environmental worries, frights, and concerns. Many lost souls are drawn to Imaginary Problems because they would rather lie, exaggerate, and frighten than do honest work. Imaginary Problems are doorways to doom.
Those who want to be at least honest enough to get to Heaven realize that some problems are not imaginary. There are evil thoughts, words, and deeds that lead to death and destruction. They are Real Problems.
The evil in Real Problems can be quantified. Estimates are that half a billion unborn children have been destroyed by abortionists since 1973. In that same, 40 year period, how many have died of gunshots? Maybe 35,000 a year. Of that, 22,000 were suicides. So, 13,000 a year were killed. Half of those deaths were caused by someone defending themselves, stopping a crime, being shot by police officers, etc. About 7,000 people are actually murdered by firearms in a year. In any given year, it has been estimated that more people are kept from being killed because they had a firearm to use in self-defense.
Ignoring the harder-to-quantify lives saved by guns, the worst case scenario seems to be that, over forty years, 280,000 people died from firearms. 500,000,000 died in abortions. IF we think it’s wrong to kill human beings, we can save far more lives by stopping abortion than by regulating firearms. Where is the best place for those who love life to focus their efforts?
Soon, we will go to Judgment. At Judgment, those who fought against the greatest evils are less repugnant to God than those who wasted their lives on Imaginary Problems.
