God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Is suicide the unpardonable sin? People have often taken this view because suicide leaves no room for repentance; a person enters eternity with unconfessed and therefore unforgiven sin. But:
1. Nowhere does the Bible say that suicide is an unforgiveable or unpardonable sin.
2. The Bible teaches that all sin, past, present, and future, is forgiven through faith in the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Eternal destiny is sealed and set at the moment of justifying faith. Our depth of intimacy, fellowship and joy is certainly affected adversely when we fail to confess and repent of daily sin. But our eternal destiny has already and forever been determined. We must recognize the distinction between the eternal forgiveness of the guilt of sin that is ours the moment we embrace Jesus in faith, and that temporal forgiveness of sin we receive on a daily basis that enables us to experience the happiness of intimacy with the Father.
3. Numerous instances of sudden death may bring a Christian into eternity before he/she had opportunity to confess and repent. Common sense reveals that many, if not most, of us will die with unrepented sins.
Divine jealousy is thus a zeal to protect a love relationship or to avenge it when it is broken. Jealousy in God is that passionate energy by which He is provoked and stirred and moved to take action against whatever or whoever stands in the way of His enjoyment of what He loves and desires. The intensity if God’s anger at threats to this relationship is directly proportionate to the depths of His love… Jealousy in God is not a “green-eyed monster” but a “red-faced lover” who will brook no rivals in His relationship with His people.
Brown ground chuck; drain any excess fat. Add (chopped) onion, garlic and
bell pepper; cook until soft.
Cut tomatoes into chunks and add to beef mixture (including liquid). Add
enchilada sauce, chili powder, cumin and cilantro. Add salt and pepper to
taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
Grease a 3-quart casserole. Steam (or fry) tortillas. Put approx. 1/3 of
the meat mixture in the casserole dish followed by a layer of tortillas,
cheese and olives. Repeat twice. Sprinkle crushed corn chips around the
edges and bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until heated through.
Cut into wedges.
NOTES:
* A simple Mexican-style casserole with beef and cheese -- This a
conglomeration of several of my favorite Mexican casserole recipes. I took
what I liked best from each one and this is what it turned out to be. My
family devoured it instantly and completely, and it has become one of our
favorites. Yield: Serves 4-6.
* You can adjust the seasonings to suit your own tastes; I listed
conservative amounts (for me, anyway!). You can also add salsa (homemade is
best) to the casserole, if desired. Serve with fried rice (plain or
flavored) and green salad.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 15 minutes preparation, 20 minutes cooking.
