People got them there?

And.....there's no sex in heaven....so....there's no reason to be naked.

While there is much to admire JE for, his view of the saved being blessed by the knowledge of the "lost" in a custom torture chamber is not one of them!!!

Blasphemeous, it is in my studied opinion.

There is so much confusion, about the life to come, because of the traditional distortion of God and His purpose. This life and its good and evil serves God's purpose of the completion of his creation. Do you really believe that the Creator in all His wisdom, knowledge, creative ability, power and love, could not do better than the twisted and distorted ideas created by the ego, power hungry, minds of men???

Primarily, in the context of the Roman State Church, which traditional religionists have been unable move beyond???

Amen; I hang out here just waiting for a real conversation to start, lol. Heaven and hell are right next to each other, in nowhere, ok? You can have conversations with each other, one in..."Heaven," we'll go with, for now, the other in hell; you will both be in the same space. Your black-and-white heaven-and-hell is not supported in Scripture.

What about the marriage supper of the lamb?




The older I get, the more I just want to believe God and leave the rest of what will become of me to Him.

It'll be nice to be rid of that nasty "free will", finally!

If everything is completely honest and true... How many married couples do you think will really even want to see each other again?

What's become of this place? It's a cesspool now! Nobody here has any interesting opinions to contribute? It seems a fortune cookie has greater substance to offer and ponder on than this place.

Reminds me of a joke (you've probably heard before).

A man and his wife were in a terrible car accident. The woman, sadly, is killed instantly. She finds herself walking up to the pearly gates, where she finds Peter, standing watch. He tells her there is one tiny requirement before she can enter heaven. She just has to spell a word. She asks Peter, "What word?" "Any word of your choosing," he replied. "Oh, OK. 'Cat'. C, A, T." Peter says "In you go! But if you don't mind, would you watch the gate for just a little while? I have to, you know, take a break. You know how it works. Will you, please?" She agrees.

After a minute, her husband succumbs to his injuries, and shows up at the gate! She tells him the rules. "You have to spell a word, before you can get in to heaven." He asks his wife, "What word?" She says, "Chrysanthemum".
