Go to Hell!

...I realized is the worst thing you can say to a person. It's probably worse than any of the four-letter or the B words.
Pastor Joshua Jung (Jung Myung Seok) told us what Hell was like yesterday. He said that the suffering is so great that you wouldn't even want the people you hate most to go through that type of suffering. And so, we must forgive our brothers endlessly. He went further to explain what Hell is really like. Before, he had told us what Heaven is like but I think teaching about Hell is probably more effective to motivate people to forgive and love one another. Sad, but so true because after learning about Hell, I wanted to forgive those who I never thought about forgiving.

He said that if you've been to Hell, you will see the urgency to save as many people as possible. And of course, work hard to go to Heaven.

Man, so telling someone to go to hell is basically saying that I more than despise you. The irony of this is that the person who says "Go to Hell!" will be the one going to hell. Hmmmmm...

To Lie or to Tell the Truth

Why lie? You will be found out anyway.
I'm just too simple of a person to keep tabs of all the lies I would make. Why waste brain space? And imagine the fear of getting caught. You'll be living in anxiety.

Pastor Joshua( Jung Myung Seok) said, "Momentary shame brings eternal glory, momentary glorly brings eternal shame." Just be bold to come clean with all your lies, face that momentary shame, but imagine the feeling of relief for the rest of your life.

I know some of the girls who accused Pastor Joshua of rape. And I know for a FACT that they lied. I will not reveal here how I know but I know. Revealing that here would be like putting them to shame without giving them a chance to come clean. I believe that I'm merciful enough to give them that. But what can they say now? Already the ball went rolling into an enormous avalanche that won't stop. They've already done so much damage that it would take the boldness of who-knows-what to tell the truth. What can they do? They have to keep lying and make it believable in order to save face. They are trapped in their own lies.

You know what? I feel sorry for them. I pity them. Even if we don't do the judging, they are judging themselves. They are in hell because they have to live with the knowledge. Living with that voice in your head, anger in your heart, and remorse that will follow later, it will be so overwhelming that it will be hell. Why lie? I really wish from the bottom of my heart, for their well-being and peace of mind, that they will confess the truth. It's not worth it to put the blame on someone who is innocent. It's really not fair.
