weighing_the_soul_sm

We want to know what kind of shape we’re in.    Changes in mind and body sometimes indicate problems of physical or mental health.  How do we check our soul’s health?

Our soul’s health is eternally important.  Those who understand the great risk of eternal damnation want to know:   “Am I going to get to Heaven?”  Each of us is in danger of losing our immortal soul to sin and error.  Some “risky behavior” is very dangerous!

1.  The souls of those who read, and take seriously, the “issues” raised by The National Geographic Magazine are at severe risk of disassociation from God and The Only Church He Founded.  Soul loss is estimated to be higher because of the temptation provided to think, “If I believe this, I am among the intellegentsia!”

2.  Those who believe that Yoga and other exercises will provide spiritual help are sometimes so separated from God and The Only Church He Founded that, without repentance and return, soul loss may run over 80%!

3.  Those who believe that the “news” is more meaningful than press releases produced by special interests are very likely to be bamboozled in other areas of their lives.  “I am more concerned about Global Warming/Freezing/Climate Change than I am about the 3,000 unborn children killed by abortionists every day.”  Soul loss may be over 90%.

4.  Attacking the historical and moral authority of The Only Church Jesus Founded hurts souls.  Can those who do not respect Jesus enough to keep from demeaning The Only Church He Founded be among those of whom He said “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”?

5.  A soul cannot be healthy when made to live in the contradiction of saying “I believe in Jesus.” while ignoring or twisting His clear words:  “Verily, verily I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
