While I can't argue the reason why the lord has sent me to hell, I have found it in myself to earn a purpose once again.
A bandaged up sinner with crisped skin underneath it all, looked up from his table of firearms, "You...wish to... help redeem sinners?" Joshua questioned the offspring of the biblical Lucifer. "I find it...ironic that you of all hellspawn would deign the idea and notion." He drawled out, before checking his rifle in his hands, and shelved it aside after finding everything was in order.
The road to redemption is a long and arduous one, and by no measure is it ever easy one for one to accomplish. To redeem oneself, is to find it in one's self to change for the better and to care for others.
Charlie smiled excitedly as she stood across from Joshua whom sat at his table while she stood on the other side. "Well, I figured if I was going to help sinners redeem themselves back up to heaven, I figured you'd be an acceptable guardsman as well as a follower of the bible!"
Joshua stared back at Charlie with an even stare, before speaking, "While I would call myself a follower, I would instead call myself a stray lamb of the father, the son, and the holy spirit. I had dedicated myself to the teachings, but is obvious from my state, that the father above deigned my sins too heavy a toll to reach the pearly gates."
The father of Christ is endlessly patient, as is his love, but that does not mean we do not earn his disappointment either. While I would called myself a born again Christian, it does not absolve me of the innocent lives I ended while I served under the command of Caeser.
"Right!" Charlie pointed up with wide brimming smile, "And this just might be your chance to give god another look at your soul, you might even earn your redemption this way!" She said while clasping her hands in a hopeful manner.
Joshua let out a soft sigh before speaking as he kept an even look back at Charlie through his mummified face and head, "So shall it be, as the bible teaches, we can't expect the lord to do all the work, we all must strive to better ourselves through trying times, even if it takes one step at a time."
"Sooo...I'll take that a yes?" Charlie leaned forward with hopeful look.
Joshua continue his stare as he replied, "Yes." He simply replied, while repressing the urge to roll his eyes at needing to be straight forward with the hellspawn.
"Yay!" Charlie shook her fists in celebration.
