NNTR:
I reiterate, 'simply because earth is a training ground, as it were', where 'as it were' is self explanatory, as operative words

Let's flip this with you, using your own style. Where does the Bible teach that you wipe your bum after a dump?

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

I don't see how your question relates to the topic.
Where does the Bible say that the purpose of man's creation on earth was for a training purpose, and that he would eventually live somewhere else?

NNTR:
Please try to unlearn, relearn and learn that hell is not a Jewish concept.

From a biblical account and/or Jewish perspective, in the afterlife, the body ends up in Sheol, (i.e. grave) first, whilst the spirit (i.e. life-force aka ruach or breath of God) goes back to the Owner, God, and the soul, incidentally, is transported to a temporary destination, consisting of two places separated by a wide chasm

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

So are you saying that the soul does not die, but goes and live somewhere else?

NNTR:
'Where one would end up', is a difference between hell and the lake of fire (i.e. difference is, one ends up in the belly of the other)

The Israelites have no concept of hell, which incidentally is a Greek concept manufactured based on Greek mythology

Hell aka Hades, has a Greek mythology origin, as I earlier alluded to

Gehenna, is a smouldering incinerating refuse dump site, that Israelites are well conversant with, being a location in Jerusalem, where corpses of criminals, dead animals and all manners of waste, refuse, household rubbish et cetera were thrown to be destroyed

Lake of Fire, on the other hand, essentially, is Gehenna, on steroids, its a final destination and point of no return place, as it were

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

So what happens to someone who goes to hell?

NNTR:
Simply because earth is a training ground, as it were

Besides the fact that simply because the supper of the wedding ceremony will hold place in heaven. What happens after a honeymoon?

Revelation 19:7-9
Now, have you ever wondered whats the significance of it and why it was at a wedding that Jesus' first miracle was performed?

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

Where does the Bible teach that the earth is a training ground. Does that mean that God's plan for creating humans was for them to suffer?

NNTR:

The former ends up in the latter

If not to your liking, and on your premise that they arent living things, you can try put a stop to them, be put the lake of fire

The bride of Christ will

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

What is the difference between hell and the lake of fire is what i am asking....I was not asking where one would end up.
What is hell and what is the lake of fire? Explain

Kobojunkie:
If they were to be destroyed then who would God's Israel have left to rule over with an iron scepter?

So explain what you mean by saying that the nations would be shattered.

NNTR:
Our citizenship is in heaven, wherever God is, is where they live, so both
Everyone returns back to earth, after a honeymoon, in heaven

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

If our citizenship is in heaven, why were we created on earth in the first place? Why do we have to go to heaven and come back to earth again? Where does the Bible teach that every good people would go to heaven and later come back to earth?

Kobojunkie:
The Nations.

Do you mean all people who are not isrealites would be destroyed? What do you mean by the nations?

NNTR:
All with godly nature would be on earth

The fact is, Lake of Fire awaits hell, Satan, demons, death and all with ungodly nature (i.e. anyone whose name is not found written in the book of life)

What twist please?

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

What is the difference between hell and lake of fire? How come death and hell would be put in the lake of fire since they are not living things? Who are those that would go to heaven?

NNTR:
Genesis 1:26a
Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image,
according to Our likeness [not physical,
but a spiritual personality and moral likeness] ...”

The primary purposes of creating humans, from the onset, and just, as stated in the bible, is to make replicas of Godhead (i.e. copies on a smaller scale, of course)

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

Where were humans suppose to live? Were they to live on earth or in heaven?

Kobojunkie:
According to Revelations 2 vs 27, He will rule with a rod of Iron and shatter them ....

Who are those referred to as 'them'

Kobojunkie:
He has no plans? That is the conclusion you take from my questions? Interesting!

God's plan has always been to use His Israel to regain rulership over the world which He formerly handed over to man. His goal from the beginning had been to harvest for Himself Sons of God, beings worthy of serving Him eternally.

So when God takes rulership over the world, what would life be like by then. Would it remain the same as we have it today?

NNTR:
The advent of the new heaven & new earth

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

So who would be on the earth? A lot of pastors says that all good people would go to heaven while all bad people will go to hell fire? Why the twist?

Kobojunkie:
Humanity? Where do you get this idea that God has a particular plan for humanity from though?

So he has no plans? Then for what purpose did he create humans?

NNTR:
Revelation 21:1-4
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth.
The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and so had the sea.
2 Then I saw New Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down from God in heaven.
It was like a bride dressed in her wedding gown and ready to meet her husband.
3 I heard a loud voice shout from the throne:
God's home is now with his people.
He will live with them, and they will be his own.
Yes, God will make his home among his people.
4He will wipe all tears from their eyes,
and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain.
These things of the past are gone forever

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

Where would this promises take place, heaven or on earth?

Kobojunkie:
So God never in fact said it. You all simply assert it anyways with no statement from Him promising to do just that?

So what plans does God have for humanity? Kindly show me from scriptures.

Kobojunkie:
Not trying to hold brief for OP but where God talk say His plan is to relieve humanity of all problems?

So would humans continue to suffer forever?

Too many to enumerate.

But most importantly:

◾Without adding fasting to prayers, certain things can't happen spiritually.

This is why many Christians remain stagnated in life for so many years, some till they die.

Where does the Bible say that without fasting, some prayers cannot be answered? And is it proper for a pastor to tell others to fast and for how long? Shouldn't fasting be a personal and private decision?

So how would all the problems that face humanity now be solved?

So if our purpose was to take care of the earth, why do many people preach that our home is in heaven? Why do people say we go to heaven when we die?

judedwriter:
Jesus warned us against broadcasting our fasting but keep it private.

However, we must educate ourselves on the importance of fasting exactly like papa adeboye did above.

So what is the moral lesson or importance of fasting in a Christian life that i should motivate others to do so and not keep it private?
