heaven and Hell are an idea not a place, no matter how many times we are told this. This is an explanatin for us to feel bette about death.

People forget that, more people didn't except Jesus than actually believed in him. We believe what we are told, not necessarily what we understand. We rely to much on what other people think of us, and not what we think of ourselves.

It's funny to see people, they can't let go of things that they have been told. For must of us we have been told to believe this or that, when we finally become of age to understand things the way they are, we don't understand the world as it is, we fall back to what we are comfortable with. When the truth is reveled to us we try and explain it in a way that fits with what we understand.

PJ my friend you are onto it. Excellent!

@4GodSoLoves So you are happy with the notion that a scapegoat be sacrificed for your wrongdoings? You are happy with the ritualistic practice of cannibalism "eat this is my body, drink this is my blood" buzz. You are happy with the idea that a male deity impregnates Mary who does not actually have a choice (rape) and already has a partner (adultery). Conditioning has a victim; it's called the Truth.

@4GodSoLoves Humans have this preoccupation with their own importance. Life is permanent. We are not. We are merely a life form, no more important than a tree, river or the earth. How we express our lives is directly proportional to geographical, cultural, monetary.........conditioning.

@wit113 ...only to accept Him - He will do the rest.
You say we're her to create a heaven on earth. No, God doesn't give us a job that we can never do. God will do that, and He'll do it in His own time. All indications are, it will happen soon. You need to do your part, the part God gave us the ability to do - come to Jesus Christ. He has already brought His Kingdom to Earth. Become a part of it and you will change YOUR own little part of the world until He comes and does the rest.

@wit113 ...to ask "What is the meaning of life?" if we believe that life was created for a reason. If life simply evolved on Earth by accident, if we just happen to be here, then life cannot have any meaning. Life can only have meaning if it was created for a purpose. If there is no Creator, then there can be no meaning of life."
We're here to have a relationship with God, who has sent His only begotten Son to bring us close for that purpose. Your job is...

@wit113 From Existence-of-Goddotcom - The Meaning for Life: "If we were to find some scribbles on a piece of paper, and ask what they mean, then we would be asking what the person who made the scribbles meant them to signify. Scribbles only mean something if they were made for a reason. If we found out that the scribbles were just drawn at random then we would cease to look for meaning in them. Random scribbles don't mean anything.
"The same is true of life; it only makes sense... |
