Well everyone, I might not get this post right, but I just watched a Sept 11 video and saw how people near the explosion in the building knew they had to get out, and people who felt safe in other parts of the building sometimes stayed in their office so they didn't get out when the building collapsed.

I don't know if it is bad to use that as an illustration and this is a theology blog not a sermon and talk blog. But that actually is a key theological revelation is that people need to realize they have a sin problem and the building is going to explode.  And salvation is when you know to take the way out which is Jesus Christ. So anyway, does this or does this not match the way people can be deceived by mostly good lives.  Well I do not know.  Because if it requires revelation either way, then maybe the issue isn't the amount or degree of sin anyway.  But I think possibly that is why God lets people have problems sometimes, so they pray a general prayer asking for help, and he can deliver them from a lot of stuff.  It is kind of like that "plagues as cures" idea.

Anyway, that is a post, have a good day everyone.
