POTM lite for April, 2006 (extended into May, 2006)

Rob writes:That's an excellent illustration. I often feel like Smeagol. And I often feel like Gullom. And both are me. That is why death will be so sweet. Freedom from Gullom once and for all. The flesh will perish with all of it's sinful desires. The only thing left will be the eternal life giving Spirit within (the real me).You on the other hand are Gullom. You hate, and spit and claw. You have no life on the other side that wrestles with your uncontrolled lusts and reasons with you. You hate any thought of a crisis of conscious. So you keep the little Smeagol voice inside chained and broken.At least that's the image you convey... I don't believe it. I actually think you are not Gullom. Gullom isn't the real you and never was the real you. Gullom is only a masqureade built to cope with the pain inside the real you. And the real you is not powerful enough to overcome the Gullom. And the real you wants to believe... but the Gullom talks you out of it and mocks you for even entertaining the idea. So when you see others like me who have believed, you hate us.You need the love and forgivness of Christ who died for you. He will come to you, and put Gullom in chains. He will show you how to live.Gullom has lied to you.
