Am seriously amazed at the response of fellow Narragansett in this forum on this particular topic of heaven itches that quite a lot of people here are may be atheist because even the Moslems believe there is heaven and hail like wise every Christian for people to contradict this two major religious believe shows that sosomething is wrong somewhere. Youths of this country you have a duty to embrace God and believe what his word says and for those that even claim there is no God I wonder where that perception.Is coming from.because eleven.in.African traditional religion they still believe that there is a superior power somewhere. Give your life to Christ, believe his words, obey Him and watch your life turnaround for good. 1 Like |

Areaboy2:I want you to know that HEAVEN is not for everybody but it's up to you for a choice. The priorities of an earthly citizen are earthly, concerned with only the temporary things of this world, but the priorities of a heavenly citizen should be heavenly, concerned primarily with things of eternal value. In Colossians 3:1, Paul says to the Colossian believers, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.” In the first verse, he gives the foundation for the rest of his teachings in the chapter. The believer’s new heavenly position in Christ should have radical effects. When we accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior, we were unified with him in such a way that everything that happened to Christ, happened to us. We died with him on the cross, removing the penalty of sin and breaking the power of sin (v. 3). When Christ returns we will come with him in glorified bodies (v. 4). As believers, we were raised with Christ and seated in the heavenly realms (cf. Col. 3:1; Eph. 1:3). We are now heavenly citizens. This new heavenly position in Christ should affect how we live. We should think on heavenly things instead of earthly things (v. 1). We should take off the clothes of sin and put on the clothes of righteousness such as patience, forgiveness, compassion, humility, and love (cf. Col. 3:4–14). People should be able to identify us as citizens of heaven because of the clothes we wear, the attitudes we display. Our position in Christ should affect everything. In Colossians 3:15–17, Paul concludes his discussion about the clothes of a heavenly citizen by looking at the priorities of the heavenly citizen. A priority is one’s focus, what we give a great deal of our time and attention to. We can tell these are priorities of the heavenly citizen because he spends more time on these clothes than the previous ones. 3 Likes |

2 Timothy 2:15 admonishes us to study to show ourselves approved. Jesus said in John 10:10 why he came. He didn't come just so we will make heaven. Otherwise we will all rapture the day we give our lives to Christ. But He came to give us His life - eternal life. Make no mistake about it - if you don't have that life while on earth, you won't have it when you die. Heaven should not be your primary concern if you're already a Christian. Living the Life of God while on earth and being a blessing to others should be your primary concern. God bless you! |

Edoblakky:when you make heaven your goal, your life here on earth will be superb. Nobody is saying give your life to Christ, jump into the high way and go to heaven. No, my point is making heaven your goal means abundant life on earth first as God had promised. |

Children of God when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. If you have these qualities, congratulations and welcome to the real world and the family of God and son Jesus. |

oglalasioux:Also i thank you for your comnend. now let me ask u a simple question dat i need it to be answered also. Where is the pillar that holds sky, sun, moon, rain clouds & the two other plannets above the earth? 2ndly, why is it that the same scientists that prooved there is no heaven or God Himself, why can't they go into the sun or to talk of passing it through br they come back and blindfold peoples with lies? if scientists can't go or pass through the sun, their research is absolutely incomplete!!!! |

whitestar01: Yes. The last time I checked everyone believes it's god that appoint leaders. They sponsor pilgrimages to Mecca and Jerusalem to pray that they govern well yet the majority of the society are at the dregs of livelihood. The religious leaders wine and dine with the leaders and even take advice from them. Religious leaders hunt with the fox and run with the rabbit at the same time. |
