I have been encouraging. Greg fucci to give himself fully to God. He maintains that he has and does. It's just not the god that Christians see in the Bible. He sees God without wrath etc. But he was still fearful and fighting for his life. He still did not seek God by opening his mind to the potential that the Bible really is the word of God. He hated the Bible. He cringed every time I asked him to read the Bible with me. Not every time. But he didn't touch the one I gave him. That Josie donated for me to give to him. It's still sitting on his shelf, untouched, large print NIV.
HE PROMOTED PEACE ALL THE TIME IN HIS WRITING AND IN HIS SOCIAL MEDIA AND IN HIS SPEECH TO OTHER PEOPLE LIKE STRANGERS CALLING THEM BROTHER AND WHAT NOT. HE CLAIMED TO BE A SOURCE OF PEACE. AND YET HE WAS FULL OF FEAR OF HUMAN OPINION AND FEAR OF DEATH. AREN'T WE ALL?
Write a fictional story of a guy like pata clinging to peace in a cup and in pithy phrases and in avoidance of Christianity. No matter how much he believed, he knew how to find peace, he was never able to explain or get confidence in his rejection of the Bible or giving himself totally to God. Therefore, he never really had peace. He was always gambling that his own virgin of God was the right version. He could not escape that fact. Right or wrong, he cannot escape the fact that he was gambling.
In the end, he meet a homeless person. An old man who continued to lose everything because he continued to gamble. The man was pursuing God. Ready to die and be with God. He sees Greg's version of religion for the gambling that it is. He knows that no matter how addicted to gambling he is on this planet, afterlife is not a gamble. He has peace waiting for him and he's ready to die. He sees that Greg does not. And he says those words. "A gambling man has no peace."
