Then good thing they are kicking some weenie arab ass in the Middle East then, right? The whole arab world can't defeat a tiny nation. You're all a bunch of carbomb losers.The duplicity of the Tribe is legendary.There are no "if"'s, because I'm not going to ask you. I'm not going to talk about the Palestinians either.
No wonder they have been driven out of countless countries throughout history. ....
First one would have to define what heaven is.When most atheists and theists discuss God, one thing that always stands out as an enormous problem is the existence of suffering and evil, despite many atheists not believing in the latter. They argue: how could an all-loving, all-powerful God create such a world of perpetual misery punctuated by brief moments of joy? The short answer to that profound, emotional moral question is: Freedom of the Will and an eternal afterlife of bliss, void of any pain or suffering.
On moral evil, God gives us freedom to choose what to do rather than use us as puppets, rendering us soulless. However, with this freedom, some people unwittingly inflict suffering onto themselves, while others inflict it onto other human beings. As for natural evil (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, etc), such phenomena are requirements for sustaining a stable, functioning earth, thus maintaining the survival of human creatures lucky to escape the fatal consequences of the above.
For instance, in a Godless universe, a tsunami killing thousands of people is both good and bad: bad for those unfortunate people who suffered and died, but good for the marine life which feasts on the victims who drowned. This brings us on to the subject of Heaven: does it exist and will the victims of tsunamis or other fatal misfortunes, both moral and natural, go there?
For if it does exist, then any Christian who drowned and was killed in a tsunami or any other natural disaster and is redeemed by God, will have his or her earthly sufferings curtailed while entering the bliss of eternal life in Heaven.
Does Heaven Exist?
My faith teaches that heaven is being eternally united with the Creator of existence.
Everything I have experienced and observed tells me this is possible.
You are not admitted to Heaven based on points totaled. No one, not ONE of us, could ever "earn" enough points to be holy enough for God. The Bible says all our righteousness is like 'Filthy rags". (Isaiah 64:6) Not only that, but God is so immeasurably holy and perfect that a single stain of sin makes us unfit for Heaven. He does not make it that way to be "mean". It's who He is. It's an immutable characteristic.
The only way we can gain entrance to Heaven is to be perfect, like Him, like we were created. That is impossible for us; it is possible with God. We can "take on" the imputed Righteousness of Jesus Christ. All His righteousness then becomes ours. It is a free gift of salvation.
That is not to say we won't be judged. We will. We will then be rewarded for what we have done, and if we are not fit for Heaven, punished according to what we have done. But on our own, we cannot gain Heaven.
Your friend should not have said that to you, btw. God does not keep people around just to torture them--He takes no pleasure in the suffering of humans. It sounds like that came from a place of sheer unhappiness, maybe animus.
Even so, one thing to remember about our God is that he came with healing and the desire for mankind to draw ever closer to Him. Considering how far is above our comprehension, trying and yet still getting it wrong doesn't seem beyond God's power to reset people on the correct path in the afterlife.The Bible was written by men, maybe by Divine Guidance, maybe not. I believe our good deeds are weighed against our bad and a tally is added up. One thing I truly believe is that any man who deceives using the Word of God is doomed to Hell. If I were Jimmy Swaggart and the rest of that ilk, I wouldn't be real optimistic about eternity.
I'd like to see my mum and dad again.

I'm not going to enter into the existential labyrinth with you. I've been there before, don't know how I got there, or how to have got out of it.

I answered the question you asked.
I found a $50 bill laying on the asphalt outside of my local WalMart. I looked around to see if anybody was frantically running back out of the store or searching around, retracing their path inside. I waited for a good 20 minutes and nobody appeared looking for it.
Sure I did. Heaven is being eternally united with the creator. Everything I have experienced and observed tells me this is possible.I have never drug you into one before.

I have no idea whether or not I will.
First of all I don’t believe it is a miracle. I believe it is quite natural. We being things, we can’t really relate to no things.RE: Does Heaven Exist?
⁜→ ding,
Now that is quite interesting...

◈ What have you experienced that makes YOU believe (personally) in another reality where miracles are possible?
◈ What have you observed in this reality that leads YOU to believe ther is another reality, one of the supernatural?
I am not being argumentative. I'm just wondering about the realm of Supernatural Entities (Angles, Demons, Nephilim, Wizards, Witches, Warlocks, and Spirits).
IF there is such a supernatural infrastructure such as "Heaven," THEN - what is its origin and what keeps it powers and sustained?

Does this make USMB like purgatory? Where we go into time out for our earthly sins?
