In many cases we might have been thrown off the road by careless dangerously driving drivers - some of whom were intentionally mindlessly driving - and some blinded themselves by the devil. Make sure you have a trusted friend on the next seat to keep the devil`s hands at bay.And two extra eyes on the road. By: Alessandra Parrini - November 20, 2006 - Public Category: Repent or Perish

Jesus confirms that certain suffering is not linked to one`s behavior. What does Jesus warn about the suffering (punishment) that is linked to one`s behavior?
See also answer to the healing of the crippled woman. We are fully sinners when we know that we are on the wrong path and do nothing to change the course of our lives after we got the warning from Jesus - a bit like driving on past the high patrol stop palette. We can still stumble but at least we are holding onto Jesus` arm. And if we get to our weakest we can plead to be lifted up on his shoulders.The three conditions for a sin to be mortal come to mind - knowingly doing something evil ''the graver the worse''.

Jesus warned the sinners to repent otherwise they will PERISH. By: Bol Joseph Agau - November 10, 2006 - Public Category: Repent or Perish
Now there were some
present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood
Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than
all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no, but, unless you
repent, you will all perish in the same way. Or those eighteen, on whom the
tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse
offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but, unless you
repent, you will all perish in the same way." He spoke this parable.
"A certain man had a fig tree planted in his
vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none. He said to the vine dresser,
'Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree,
and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?' He answered, 'Lord, leave it
alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it. If it bears fruit, fine; but if
not, after that, you can cut it down.'"
