In Burma, there was a tribe of people called the Karen who worshiped the God Y’wa. Their prophets declared they had once possessed a book of the law that had been lost many centuries before. Sacred songs passed down from generation to generation, reminded them of their lost law:

Omnipotent is Y’wa;
Him have we not believed.

Y’wa created men anciently.
He has a perfect knowledge of all things.
Y’wa created men at the beginning.
The earth is the treading place for the feet of Y’wa.
And heaven is the place where He sits.

He sees all things and we are manifest to Him.

Y’wa formed the earth originally.
He appointed food and drink.
He appointed the “fruit of trial.”
Mu-kaw-lee deceived two persons.
He causes them to eat of the fruit of the tree of trial.
They obeyed not; they believed not Y’wa ...

They became subject to sickness, aging and death ...
O children and grandchildren,
If we repent of our sins,
And cease to do evil - restraining our passions -
And pray to Y’wa. He will have mercy upon us again.
If Y’wa does not have mercy on us,
there is no other one who can.

He who saves us is the only one - Y’wa.

O Children and grandchildren!
Pray to Y’wa constantly.
By day and by night.


According to some, generations of Karen went to hell because they didn’t spell Jehovah’s correctly or knew to accept Jesus, but how do you think our crucified Lord who died, "not for our sins only, but for the sins of the whole world" looked upon those precious people? Are souls saved because they get their hearts right or because they get their doctrines right?

Rom 2:29
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

This came to mind:

Luke 12

41Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
