...Now I do not see this, I see God is love and loves His creatures like this Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
This weekend God let me know to stop and take a break that I was to serious , He has this. We can either find bad in everything or the good of God.
I saw in that story the tricks of satan, I saw things are not as they appear. I loved it , I am the one that pinned it.
Quoting: Goofy for God The problems I have with the story are that....
1. There's NOTHING in the beginning of the story to say that the old man and his dog had just died together.
2. As the story progresses, it APPEARS that the man LOVES his dog SO MUCH that he'd RATHER them both die versus the owner going in by himself and bringing some water back out for his dog. At NO POINT does it say that the owner could NOT come back out.
And finally...the story gives the impression that a rule about dogs will be a person's final choice between heaven and hell.
That is so wrong it's pathetic. The story is slanted to make folks think that loving a pet more than God is OK.
That is the trick of Satan.
If you go back and watch the episode, there is a mention of how the dog saved the old man's life years before. When the dog went after the coon in the water, the coon was trying to drown him, and the old man went into the water to save his dog, but both drowned.
The old man was faithful to his dog who was faithful to him.This is what this story is about, IMO, faithfulness no matter what, even at the cost of your life.
The final test of faithfulness was the old man's rejection of false paradise and false promises. The old man's dog alerted him that this first place was not what was portrayed by the gatekeeper, thus saving him once again.But the dog was OK with the second place on the road, which was the right place.
As for loving his dog, it was an unconditional love that was mutual, just like God loves us unconditionally, even if we are old, a bit cranky, and not perfect, or have some fleas(sins).
If you read some stories of people, especially children who have had an NDE, they saw animals in Heaven,and played with them. Why limit God to what awaits us in His Heavenly Kingdom?
