No more taxes..

The Bible tells me if you confess Jesus is God's son publicly, confess you believe he can forgive your sins and you want him to, repent to walk his way and get baptized by immersion, you go to heaven.

I want to walk with him on earth for the time being though. What do you think? What will you do? Would you accept Jesus' offer of forgiveness as described above? Could you accept this? Would you accept this? I hope you do. It's the best thing going, I think.

Then you start going to Church, reading the word, hanging out with Christians and work with worship, fellowship, discipleship, a ministry and a mission. It works!

Unfortunately no one knows the answer for sure because no one came back to tell us what happened there if there is a there to start with in the first place . However, I think that death is just exactly as a surgery when the surgeon is cutting for some hours without you feeling a thing .I do not believe in hell and heaven because thousands of religions do not make sense and are full of contradictions to say the least .Anyone who pretends to know is just guessing and I am sure that the guessing game will continue . Humans know so little about this complex life and thanks to sciences , they came a long way .
!.

By the biblr when we die no matter what you believed in you go to sleep until Christ return. At that time everyone will rise from their slumber and the believers will go to heaven and the non believers will be sent to hell

Theres almost no difference between Hell and Alabama so even if I went to Hell I probably wouldn't know it.

If you answer everything according to religion then you are for a great surprise :There are thousands and not just hundreds of religions and they are all full of contradictions and they make no sense at all . You just can not solve life and death mysteries based on religious beliefs . We need proof ,evidence ,
reality and logic . We do not need mythology and words with no proof at all and just talk, talk ,talk ...etc. !.

Amen to that. I lived in Dothan for a year.

A year in hell.

I'm back in Colorado now. They call this "God's Country."

So when I die, I'm staying here.

I KNOW what happens when we die...












we immediately start to decompose.

who is in this "we" you are speaking for? why does there have to be proof? can you prove you feel love or hate or things like that?

you can prove what happens to the body (the shell) but no one can prove what happens to the spirit so all you have is a belief...whether it's religious based or not

That’s funny!

I was thinking just the opposite. There’s probably not much difference between heaven and where I live so when it comes time to die maybe I could just stay here instead?

Well said love!!!

Well that's not exactly true, but you won't be aware of the reaming the government is giving you & yours post mortem.

TITLE: Homegrown Tomatoes

If I could change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed
I know what this country needs
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
Out in the garden would be much better
Where I could be pushin' up home grown tomatoes

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What'd life be without home grown tomatoes
There's only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

Hmmmmmm now there is a concept! I think I will call it....... heaven. Yeah! That's it! Heaven.

Uhm... interesting.

Your immediately in a spiritual dimension.
Those who have accepted Christ Jesus - obtain rest & peace with Christ Jesus. The soul is very much still alive..., but in spirit.
Heaven consist of various levels.
Outside of the heaven \ city. there is a spiritual war.
If the soul is still carnal in some of it's nature. The soul is not allowed to look upon the city, but is placed on the spiritual battle line outside of the city.
Spiritual armor is given for the battle. The soul may fight for a time, the soul will grow spiritually, and will lose the carnal attributes. The soul is then allowed to enter the city.
Angel periodically assist as needed in the battle it's mainly between saints, and shadows \ demons are spiritually insane beings. (very dark souls)



A decision of souls: (Heaven or the Dark Pit)
If a decision is necessary about a soul. This may happen, because the words spoken while the person lived. Mainly out of spiritual ignorance.

Jesus does not accuse at all, but remains silent.

Satan will begin to accuse the soul of sins. He will use the persons words again them. He will twist truth & lies, and twist Gods word to accuse the soul. He is very out spoken manipulative, and extremely intelligent will appear to have authority.

There is only one way to justify yourself, and that is by Christ Jesus.
Jesus said:
"I am the door, if anyone enters by me, he will be saved..." John 10:9

Jesus appears but may not speak for a time. On both sides of him two prophets stand with him. Apostles may also speak for the soul. If while you lived, and you accepted Chris Jesus you will be fine. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 (Once saved always saved - HINT). Jesus judges the heart, and will speak for the soul. He as already paid the price of sin.

Satan - can no longer a accuse the soul once Christ Jesus has spoken for the soul. If the soul has been spoken for by Christ Jesus it will then appear in heaven.

Well, if the soul did not accept Christ Jesus while upon earth. It's not my judgement to even say.... If Satan has his way with the soul, while upon the earth...it's the pit(hell).


Heaven has various levels:
There are spiritual services of beings or souls.
At the front, or in the mist God will appear in a cloud of fire, thunder lighting. His voice is like roaring water very dense, and also very silent soft at times.
Where you stand in the service is how you lived your life for God. There will eventually be a new heaven & earth. After the rapture, 7 yr tribulation, 1000 year reign of Christ Jesus upon the earth. Final judgement of souls, and Satan's final judgement.

(Peace)

Hmmm? That's funny.

It started out being about sin and obedience and ended up being all about what a person believes?

The bible must be like those circles of people were you tell one of them something, and then they whisper it to the person next to them, and by the time it gets all the way around the circle it ends up being about something completely different from what the first person was told.

now abra...the OP was what do you THINK happens. so therefore it is based on beliefs. people interprete the Bible differently. walk with me, talk with me....have some popcorn lol

I have some simple questions:

Do you believe that God has laws for us to live by? (Yes / No)

If you answered No: Do you believe that rape and murder is okay in God's eyes?

If you answered Yes: Wouldn't God having laws but not enforcing them make God unjust and a liar?

Who cares, you're dead
