Hello Pablo!!!

Greetings, Pablo.

Hi
I am a bit confused when it comes to navigating this site and I seem to get lost often. But I guess if I stick with it, I will eventually manage.
Thanks for the greeting.
I am here only to lift up the name of God as I really believe that we are at the very end of time. It does not mean that the world will end tomorrow. But it does mean that if we are not actively pursuing God, it might be too late for us.
The bible is extremely complex and it cannot be done in a year or even a lifetime, and as we know the 5 foolish virgins, who fell asleep at the wheel, were not allow to enter after the prescribed time.
We even know that even some who got in, like the one without the white gown at the feast was thrown out into the darkness, because of unpreparedness. He somehow got it wrong about the requirements.
There really is no time like today, like now, for pursuing God with all our hearts, our minds and our souls.
May God keep you in perfect peace.

I'm just here for the interesting chats and camaraderie.
But it does mean that if we are not actively pursuing God, it might be too late for us.
One year, before Yom Kippur (the biblical day of atonement), a Hasidic rabbi had a conversation with God. The rabbi proposed the following: "Oh Lord, we have many sins, and You have much forgiveness. So I propose that we trade our sins for Your forgiveness. Now, I can understand why You might think this is not a fair trade. But what else would you do with all your forgiveness?"
