El Cielo Ganado. Grupo 5

Earned Heaven

The day of the final judgment. God judges each and every man.

When He calls Manuel Cruz, He says:

-Man of little faith, you did not believe in me. Therefore you will not enter paradise.

-Oh Lord, -Cruz replies-, it’s true my faith has not been much. I’ve never believed in you, but I have always imagined you.

After listening, the Lord responds:

-Very well my son, you will enter heaven; but you will never have the certainty of finding yourself in it.

 

Gabriel Cristián Taboada (Buenos Aires, 1972).

  1. Very, very pleased to see that your group included the source of this little anecdote recounted by Gabriel Cristián Taboada in Buenos Aires in 1972.

    Regarding the title: I googled “Final judgment” and got 2,860,000 hits, but the very first one is a legal term that has nothing to do with religion, which tells me that lots of the other usages might be in that sense:

    “Last judgment” got 645,000 hits, all related to religion.

    “Judgment day” got 5,060,000 hits, all related to religion, including a couple of films titled Judgment Day.

    How would knowing these Google results have affected the decision you made regarding your title?
