shdemidemi: You don't know how the world works. Why do people look at the same image but leave with different opinions? Your belief is true for you only, including hell and heaven. |

Weah96: you are right, left to me i really do not know how it works. I suddenly find myself here in the world, I do everything demanded by my society and I will suddenly drop dead at some point only to take nothing with me from the world. How pathetic! Believing nothing isnt an option for me, but believing the right thing is all that matters to me. Weah96: Why do people look at the same image but leave with different opinions? You are right, this is true about people. We all have our senses and volition to infer whatever we choose from varying perspectives depending on our stand/view point, which is always subject to change. We will all be wrong or right within the parameter/boundary at which we view from. But, God sees from a central point seeing everything that seem like a puzzle and mystery to us clearly. The call to christianity is the call to view the world through the eyes of God. 2 Likes |

shdemidemi:I respect it only for one reason: to keep the rate of homicides as it is now. Christians abstain from r)ape and murder because a dictator commands them to. If more people desert religion, then the rate of homicides will increase at an astounding rate. Let the mentally sick people keep their Gods. |

what the bible says is 1 Cor 15 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. |

frosbel: Christians often say that when we die we are immediately transported to heaven where there is everlasting joy, peace etc. I think most christians believe quite the opposite, ie that at death they 'remain dead' until a future date of 'resurrection' and 'judgement', when their bodies would be miraculously returned to life. They don't really have the concept of soul transcendence. Few of them at all contemplate the difference between soul and body, seeing them as one and the same thing. Christians in general have a very unsophisticated, infantile conceptualization of existence. |

tpia1: What? The fact that the world belongs to the devil and heaven is the ultimate reward? |
Re: If Death Is A Ticket To Heaven Why Are So Many Believers Scared Of Dying by tpia1: 5:25am On Aug 12, 2014 |
the world was created by God not the devil. both heaven and earth belong to God. try harder. |
Re: If Death Is A Ticket To Heaven Why Are So Many Believers Scared Of Dying by Weah96: 5:46am On Aug 12, 2014 |
tpia1: the world was created by God not the devil. The devil took Jesus up on a mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world. He then offered to transfer ownership to Jesus as a reward for worship. Why did Jesus not tell him that the world was already his property? Jesus didn't dispute the man's claim to the floating space rock called earth. So you try again. |
Re: If Death Is A Ticket To Heaven Why Are So Many Believers Scared Of Dying by tpia1: 5:54am On Aug 12, 2014 |
why are you in such a hurry to type? here are the verses you're referring to: matthew 4 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” do you see earth written anywhere there? "kingdom" is different from earth. |
Re: If Death Is A Ticket To Heaven Why Are So Many Believers Scared Of Dying by Weah96: 5:58am On Aug 12, 2014 |
tpia1: why are you in such a hurry to type? So the 194 countries belong to the devil, but the floating rock itself is God's property? SMH. |

Weah96: I think its best you ask if you have things regarding scriptures you do not know, rather than disparage it because you cant fathom it. we must distinguish between the 'world' and the 'earth'. We must understand the world is a system on earth, therefore, the world(system) would eventually come to an end but the earth remains forever. The devil remains the king of the system called the world.... as christians we are in the world but not of the world. |

frosbel: Christians often say that when we die we are immediately transported to heaven where there is everlasting joy, peace etc. In other words, like asking why Jesus prayed so much that the sweat from his body was like blood. You should ask Jesus also. Didn't he know that he was going back to the father? 1 Like |

anukulapo: When did Jesus go back to the Father , after Death or after Resurrection ? Don't forget this scripture : "Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" - John 20:17 |

Even Jesus knew he will die yet he never committed suicide and he never prayed for death to come. Likewise we all know we ll die some day but we aint gonna commit suicide or pray for death. Wjen Elijah prayed for death God did not grant his prayer rather God told him there is more work ahead. We are here on a mission, when our work is done here death will surely come. It is God that owns our lives not us so we have no right to take it away. .The main thing for us is to be heaven+ready at all times. May God help us. Amen. |

shdemidemi:You're wrong. The earth doesn't last forever. In fact, the floating rock called earth was nearly eviscerated by the sun only 2 years ago, and you and I didn't even notice. Everybody would have been killed. Even stars burn out, my brother, including our own sun. http://nypost.com/2014/07/24/solar-flare-nearly-destroyed-earth-two-years-ago-nasa/ |

Everybody would have been killed. Even stars burn out, my brother. George Weah, the earth lasts forever OK? Its been here for eons. But the flares you saw two years ago is stale news, there have been more powerful solar flares in recent months. They fulfil biblical prophecy; Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; |

MrPresident1: Actually that was the wrong article. The July 23 flare was not capable of extinction. |

MrPresident1: How can the earth survive without the sun? Will you pay the NEPA bill required to provide daylight for the whole planet? |
Re: If Death Is A Ticket To Heaven Why Are So Many Believers Scared Of Dying by MrPresident1: 6:06pm On Aug 12, 2014 |
Weah96: Still they have been prophesied, and whether you accept or deny it is of no consequence. Yashua said it, well documented in the Bible, and it is unraveling right in our very eyes. |
