Please God, I want you to spare our world from becoming a nuclear wasteland or it ending within my lifetime. I wanted to live a relatively full lifetime here but so far I feel like I was never able to or never will. ;(

The idea behind Christianity is that no one is good enough to go to heaven

I even made a thread kind of about Heaven in PPR. Like you, I am also p*ssed that there's no sex in Heaven


I think you are confusing hell with heaven. 8O

Perhaps you are in the wrong religion?
If you martyr yourself as a Muslim sucide bomber, I think you get rewarded with 64 virgins in heaven or something like that.
Please correct me if I am wrong. ;)


plenty of s** in hell, it just involves pineapples and you bent over a barrel.

Yep. Heaven is a ghost town. It's just Jesus all alone playing fetch with Ol' Yeller.

The bible says don't sin, but also no one is righteous :D
So different ideologies are created.

One example is:

Quote:
9 What then? Are we Jews[a] any better off?[b] No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written:

“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being[c] will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

Not just Ol' Yeller. He's got 'em all. I have it on good authority that all dogs go to heaven.

For those who believe in an afterlife, just remember the brain and the body ate intimately connected. Once you die you break the connection completely with your physical self.

If there is a consciousness or some energy linked with our life force then it will be no longer be linked with the identity you had as John Smith from 47 Privett Drive Little Whinging.

The idea we remember our past life and this maintains our identity (for those who claim to be kings, soldiers or pharoahs in their past life) is amusing.

If you enter a kingdom of heaven and meet your dead ancestors or any people walking about then you are having a hallucination.

wise men of olde maintain there is a realm called "the Akashic records" where all our back pages are stored. every thing that every being has ever done, is securely and indelibly stored there.

My dream for the afterlife is to be free of restrictions and boundaries of this world.
Being completely free in eternity.

I was reading your post as someone who is a firm believer in Christ, first of all, no one is good for Heaven as it talks about in the Bible. In fact, that's why God sent Christ to die for you so that you could get right with God. As for heaven, I have heard testimonies of people dying and coming back to life. Every one of them have said it's so beautiful there that you don't want to come back here.

As for the discussion of World War 3 and rumors of wars, I don't know if you have read the book of Matthew. In the 24th Chapter it talks about what you are describing. However, it also says the end it not yet.

I know in Matthew, Jesus also said there is no marrying or giving in marriage in Heaven, so I guess that means our sexual drive will be erased. :(

I don't believe in the afterlife. I'd hate to have to live another life after this one. This one is already too much.

german psychic and astral traveller jurgen ziewe wrote two books on his experiences on the other side, "multidimensional man" and "vistas of infinity- things to do when you're dead." per what he writes, there very definitely is something instantly recognizable as sex going on at least in the lower rungs of heaven.

I can imagine that being very true!
