In the begining G-d created man, then woman, then "They" made a mistake, they waz kick out of Heaven, and then doomed to Hell.  \n\nNow the ending of our story iz that will be judged for "our" deedz. \n\nI want to know do you feel az if thatz the end of something that goez on again somewhere else?\n\nYour in Heaven for eternity, right? What can you do there for eternity where you wont get bored, "indifferent" to otherz, or just want to experience somethig more?\n\nYour in Hell forever, right? Humanz can only live for a short period...our soul iz eternal; so doez that punishment fit the crime?

No, it’s not the divine word of Dan Brown anymore. Sorry, you’re doomed to hellfire and damnation, as are we all. Although I should point out that when it’s been done in the past it’s been called revisionism and this in turn would produce a whole new following along with belief structure. So hooray! We’re all saved again (sigh). \n\nYa know, I'd also like to say that I’ve also been reading a lot of your past questions and seeing the responses you’ve gotten from most of them and I realize one thing, people honestly feel that god can’t take a dirty joke. If God created us in his own image wouldn’t that mean he also had a sense of humor? Seriously! I mean if I were an atheist wanting to choose a life with god, these people would seriously give me reason to reconsider it. I for one wouldn't want to spend eternity with them, I'd probably be cast into the pit of hell for farting hard.

I think I know what you are saying... it has been my thought too... but with a different final conclusion....life can be hell..we can all go through persecution and our own battles of armagedon. It feel like god has left us....\n\nthe scripture also says he who endures to the end will be saved.. it also says to the church of smyrna (church of martyrs) and the church of philadelphia (weak, suffering but faithful) that they will be kept from the hour of temptation that will come upon all the earth.  The marytyrs will already be dead, and the philadephians will be raptured. Everyone else in the church will have to go through their own tribulation, and be tested, since they avoided it earlier.\n\nSo my viewpoint is that if we are willing to go through tribulation for our faith now, we will be spared from the great tribulation that is to come in the near future. Everyone has to be tested for their faithfulness...\n\nif you are suffering now, your hope is in your heavenly reward to come, and the promise that you will be taken out before the world plunges into total wickedness.

Interesting scripure. But I'm also interested in this: the term 'last days' has been mentioned, and keeping in mind two things: the lord's overwhelming power to stretch and shrink time, combined with the fact that the last 2000 years there have been scoffers like mentioned above, when exactly will these 'days' end? This could take thousands of years, or be in a minute. But in that very minute a 'scoffer' *could* convert to the true faith, so if the lord is truly patient, he'd wait that minute too, or those thousands years, else it wouldn't be fair, I'd say.\n\nAnd tell me this: I am no scoffer, but in your eyes I'd probably be. But which of my desires are actually evil? My strongest desires are that people all over the world be stopped by blind judging other people, that people actually think before they act, that they take other people in mind when they take decisions that might effect them, in short that they respect other people and let them be. Another desire of mine is that helping people develop themselves, seek out their potentials, and enhance them, that they enjoy living in this beautiful world, and teach other people to enjoy too.\n\nBut since I don't need Jesus to actually do this, I am truly an ungodly man and I shall be destroyed by your lord.\n\nIf I'm to be judged by someone who doesn't look at my actions or my desires behind them, but at my lack of faith, and still wants to destroy me, please, let him do his thing, for I have nothing to be ashamed of and I rather live in hell knowing I have done right, than living in heaven for being a hypocrite.

My friend, I agree with you, yet I also see a more pressing matter at hand. What about those persecutors and all the non-believers? If they die, they will not rejoice with all of us in heaven with the Lord God. I will pray for both the believers and the non-believers. There isn't much I can do from my present state but pray and preach the Word, since i'm not in a position to do anything but that. Email me if you have questions or are a fellow believer in Christ at questinchrist@yahoo.com. God bless

Dear girl... if NO ONE WITH SIN WILL GO TO HEAVEN... then we are ALL doomed... because there is no one living that has not sinned and Jesus died to pay for our sins... so we who are imperfect and sinful can with love and repentance and trying to live a moral life can get into paradise...\n\nBut you are right... Religion has always been the weapon of choice by Lucifer to use against us...to cause dissension among mankind... As long as people do not start living according to the teachings of Jesus... we will always have people dying because of religion.  That will be the reason for the final battle at Armageddon... so it looks as if we will never learn...  And that is not ignorance... that is stupidity... I agree with you...

You  obviously do not know scripture, I suggest you read this yourself.  There is no afterlife as you describe it. There is only heaven or hell after death. And, believe me, one will know where they are.   Either in heaven with peace, joy, love and life with Jesus forever, OR in hellfire.. It wont be something you have to ask yourself.   Be sure what you choose for yourself now. And, if people did know and believe this, they would surely live their life very differntly, but most tend to reject it, becaue they dont want to give up how they live and think.   \nNo, it wont ever be more of the same thing as it is  now.  absolutely not.   This is not heaven,and its not hell .  But, both are coming. Be sure you make a choice to go where you go that wont leave you eternally regretting your decison.

"Why would born again Christians say that they are no better a person than say a child rapist and a murderer if they repented?"\n\nRepentance does not change a sinner into a non-sinner. What repentance does is "clothe" us in the righteousness of Christ, so that what God sees is not our righteousness (or lack of) but His. There is no gray-scale for sin in God's eyes, it is all black. From the casual liar, to the murderer, it is all sin. Were it not for the grace of God through Christ, we would still be in that mire. But we have been washed, and clothed in His righteousness. That does not make us "better" than any other sinner out there. That just makes us thankful and humbled, because it has nothing to do with anything we have done. It was all through the work of Jesus and God's grace and mercy.\n\n"What should be the motivation for all us sinners not going out raping and killing, why don't we?"\n\nFor every action, there is a reaction. Even though we have been forgiven, there are still reprocutions of our sin. God delivers us from the eternal consequences of our sin, but not the terrestrial. If you rape, or murder, you must pay the price. Ted Bundy accepted Christ while in prison, and God told him he must confess all of his crimes. Doing so would guarantee the death penalty. He confessed anyway and was justly put to death for his crimes.\n\n"And does that also suggest that one who never gets caught for commiting acts of savagry but later repents really never gets any punishment for their actions?"\n\nIf a person repents, God will not let them rest until they confess their crimes. Chuck Colson was easily able to "lawyer out" of his part in Watergate. But one question by Dan Rather convinced him that he must go to prison for his part in the coverup. True repentance opens your communication with God, and He has ways of dealing with your past.\n\n"OMG. what a horrible religion, but anyway."\n\nIf I had read this first, I would not have bothered with taking time to answer. People who commit crimes are in bondage to sin. Those who commit heinous crimes are manipulated by the devil, for he was a murderer from the beginning. When Christ came to set us free, it changed everything. If you think that murderers and the like deserve hell no matter what, that just shows that your mercy is limited.

I believe that God made us in His image and why would he do that if he didn't want us to live on in heaven with him. Then just to make sure he sent His only Son to redeem our sins!  I almost died during childbirth 2 years ago and I don't think that was all there would have been to my life.  We don't only get life after death in heaven but our loved ones here on earth make sure we live every day!  We recall them and they are with us in our hearts.

I believe in rebirth. How do scientists explain child prodigies? Mmmm probably the data was downloaded when they were in the womb ! \n\nI think every religion has its own version -> of what happens after death <-. It is something which can only be experienced and not explained. Heaven and hell are concepts to keep people in check . If you are happy today you are in heaven and if you are depressed or sad you are in hell. Neither exist.\n\nIf god really loves everyone (which includes me) why cant he forgive me later? And what is good and bad ???? Relative terms.... Without knowing what bad is you dont know what good is. If everyone is good who is bad ? Then what happens to hell ? I dont even believe in sins. Can you show me one person who has not committed any of the 7 Sins? \n\nI think the best way to find the truth is stop idiosyncrasies. Search for GOD within yourself. See GOD in everyone , everything and everywhere. Jesus is in your heart dont wait for him, experience him . NOW.

Absolutly not! It pains me to think of people going to hell. Even some people who have gotten on my last nerve, I don't revel in the final destiny if they are not saved. It pains me to no end.\n\nWe recently had a friend of the family pass away, and I do not know if she was saved or not.

Its either they'll go to Heaven or Hell in a form of soul with the likeness of human body. Please see the links below (sources) to guide you more in this area.\n\nHell\n\nWhy does Hell exist?\n\nThe place Hell is where God cast Lucifer and his legions after rebelling against Him. Lucifer was an archangel with, like others, a free will which he abused and assumed himself higher and mightier that God. Some other angels believe Lucifer, which made God angry so God casts all of these abomination to the place called Hell.\n\nWhy does wicked / unsaved souls leads to Hell?\n\nSince Lucifer or Satan has no power over God, he lured His creations with His likeness (human) to his realm by tricking us, first Adam and Eve, then down to us.\n\nHow can we be saved?\n\nThis is the very reason why the Son of God came to earth to save our soul and pay for our sins. For God loves us so much and He doesn't want any of us to go to such a place. In order to be saved, we should accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, and that we should accept His love and forgiveness, that he died for our sins. On the Judgment day, the Hell itself will be cast to the Lake of Fire, which will be the second death.\n\nWhere is the Hell?\n\nHell is located at the center of the earth. Which forms like a lying silhouette of a human, with head, torso and limb-like dwellings.\n\nHow is it like to be in Hell?\n\nFirst of all, as souls (you after death), we still have all the senses we used to have in our body, only much much keener. And since you're from earth, you even have the feeling that you have flesh (burning sensation, thirst, hunger), only that you wouldn't die the second time.\n\nWhen your soul is at Hell, you don't have strength at all to save yourself. \n\nDEMONS\nHell is full of demons which looks like a very deformed humanoid of up to 12-13 ft tall. Their limbs are like one is longer and the other one is shorter. Some have big heads, others are small. Some has longer torso, others have longer legs, and so on...\nDemons are ignorant, all they know is hatred to humankind (souls). Which resembles God's likeness. They are unimaginably strong. They don't have mercy, so whenever they see a soul, what they do best is to tear it apart in agony (senses are keener, remember?)\n\nStench\nThe stench in Hell is like all of the bad odors combined (rotten eggs or foods, decaying carcasses, feces, sulphur, etc.) multiplied by 1000. It is terrible, very very horrendous, and to think that our senses are much much keener. If a body went to Hell, it would've died. But no body can go there except for soul, which cannot die. The stench alone will make you long for death, but death will not come for you are already dead.\n\nDarkness and sounds\nHell has a very very pitch black surrounding. None can be seen on earth of such a dark place. There was a blackness that you couldn't even imagine. All you'll hear from hell is the sound of screaming, billions of people screaming in that place. A scream of anguish, torture, very loud ang penetrating. You can't get away from that screams, you'll have to endure it forever 'cause there's no way out from Hell. No hope, no salvation, non-ceasing.\n\nFear in Hell\nOn surroundings alone you'll feel fear, from the sound and smell and darkness. But Hell alone without what mentioned above can make you feel fear. It grips you. Its like seeing a very scary movie at its climax then take that and multiply it to a thousand and hold it there, that is how you stay all the time! This is another thing that you'll endure forever in Hell. For there's no escape.\n\nHeat\nThe heat was so intense, it could kill your body a mile away but you don't die in Hell. The fire in there is your only but terrible light. It's too hot but at the same time its too dim. Not enough to decrease the darkness around.\n\n\nThere's no rest, no hope, and all fear, eternal torture, and shame in Hell. Not even a fool

yes,you are right the one who create the Sun can also Create the Hell...i feel pity and really so sad for the people who laugh at you....of course we must not believe in God just because we are afraid of Hell...but human beings have a lot of differences..there are sort of people you can not stop them of doings a bad thing except if you show them the punishment.....this is why there are prisons .we can see a lot of people in our life do not do crimes just they afraid of going to prison not because crimes are bad....but the not Smart bad people who insist on doing crimes even they know they could go to the prisons but they just laugh at...so the Prisons in all the countries are full of these sort of people..and for that too the Hell will be full of people who laugh at....God help them with his mercy .....\nand at the end like you said if these people have blind hearts to find God...they should think of it by mathematical mind (probability of existence theory) if there are 0.0000001% Hell and God are true ..what they will do?so it i prefer to believe in God than find nothing, than to not believe in God and find Hell.

It use to be a thought of mine but then I read in the Bible that some things we will never comprehend on earth in our sinful state, some things will seem like foolishness when it comes to God. however, he reveals himself and character through his son Jesus and through is creations. We cannot comprehend eternity with our finite minds it would drive us mad - the promise is sure though that we will not die in heaven and it will be blissful and happy. Our duty here is not to explain what we have no knowlege of but what is revealed to us through the written word the Bible. All questions will be answered in heaven, just follow the Bible.

God IS Love.\n\nDeath is NOT an end.\nIt's LIFE AFTER LIFE, not Death = End.\n\nTherefore, the people that died didn't "loose" anything.\nIt effects those of us left behind here for a temporary "time".... it is our FREE WILL that creates what that means for each of us while we are "here".\n\nIt is that lady's FREE WILL that will create what it means for her to "survive" for her... and yours that creates it for you.\n\nDeath is not a punishment.\nDeath is like GOING HOME AFTER BEING GONE SO LONG YOU FORGOT YOU LEFT.\n\nYour BODY is WHAT you are IN, not WHO you ARE.\n\nJust because you may only remember this reality, does not mean it is all there is.\n\nEnjoy the illusion.\n\nAsk yourself, "What would LOVE do?" and be the best version of LOVE you can be......\n\nBlessings to you.

My thoughts go back to the book of Genesis right before Kane killed Abel. Kane and Abel both brought sacrifices to God. Kane brought a beautiful basket of delicious fruit and Abel brought bloody portions of a raw chopped up lamb. As a man I would be much more grateful to receive a cool looking fruit basket than some bloody raw meat.\n\nBut God said that Kane's offering was unacceptable while Abel's was pleasing to Him. We now know that even back then God was using the sacrifice of a lamb to point to the ultimate sacrifice Jesus, the Lamb of God, made to pay our sin debt.\n\nIt's the same way with this "many paths, one destination" doctrine. People are trying to set the conditions for entrance into Heaven based upon what "makes sense to them". But God says his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways. He is the Creator of all things and He is the final arbitrator of who enters Heaven and who gets cast into the Lake of Fire.\n\nWhen people say that they think that since God is love, He should see things their way and give them a break because they try to live a good life, what they are really saying is "I don't need your Son to get into Heaven. He should have just stayed where He was and saved himself all of the trouble. I'm a good person God. So you need to forget all about that Jesus stuff and just be cool and loving like I imagine you are and let me in, OK?"\n\nWhat an insult to God and Christ Jesus! I feel very sorry for people who have deceived themselves in such a manner. I can only imagine the shock they will experience when their entire life is unrolled before their eyes along with their innermost thoughts and all of their illusions about how "good" they were will be shattered in a million pieces as incident after incident is unveiled where they treated someone else in a shabby manner, where they looked at a member of the opposite sex and wanted to use them like an object, when they did all manner of things that they have conveniently forgotten about or justified by saying "Well, overall I lived a good life. Those were just the exceptions."\n\nThat's like a 50 year old man who "only" killed 5 people saying "Hey, 9 out of every ten years of my life I was good. Give me a break OK?"

This is all assuming there was a place called the Garden of Eden, that Adam and Eve are the ancestors of all mankind, and that some control freak God gave them paradise, and then put one restriction on it. Awfully manipulative don'cha think?\nI sometimes wonder it that story wasn't created to explain why we don't all live in "paradise". What did "we" do to anger our God so that he would leave us in this sometimes harsh reality?\n\nCouldn't the big G, just give us a place to live of peace and tranquilty where we could live out or days happy and content?\n\nNo, you can only know up if you know down, you can only know right when you know left, you know night when you know day.... etc.\nLife is experience, life is choices, life is choosing to do more for others than you do for yourself or to choose only to care for your needs.\nIt was Man's test of himself (the apple I mean) not God's test of Man's loyalty or listening skills.\n\nIn the end I believe man wants to be challenged, he wishes to fight, seeks adventure, and suffers because of it, yet he also gains satisfaction and assuredness about his place in the universe.
