“Damn you, Rebekah!” someone told me today.
“You can’t,” thought I. “I can’t, and neither can anyone else.”
I didn’t tell this person what I was thinking. But I was thinking, “I’ve already been undamned, by someone with much more authority than you or I.”
Damn
- To pronounce an adverse judgment upon
- To cause the failure of, ruin
- To condemn as harmful, illegal, or immoral
- To condemn to everlasting punishment
- To swear at
It just so happens that I have already been undamned. The adverse judgment that once was upon me has been removed. My failure has been removed. My condemnation as harmful, illegal, and immoral has been removed. My condemnation to everlasting punishment has been removed. So the last definition of damn, “to swear at” has very little hold over me. “What can separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus?” Certainly not man’s damning.

Thanks be to Jesus for His blood that has made it able for us to live in eternal peace and joy not eternal (or even temporal) damnation!!

I think you handled that much better than I would have! But you’re exactly right, and I appreciate your perspective about this. Thanks for sharing!
