Are you glad or scared about the posibility of an afterlife?

rckt148 · 61-69, M
I have good reason to trust God is real .
I understand some prophecy and see how accurate it is ,so I have confidence it Gods Word as well .
And I have put a lot of study into what the Bible actually says
not the beliefs and doctrines of the Papacy or other religions
So I am no longer afraid .
When you actually see it ,we are told to comfort others with this knowledge .
but many prefer their traditions over the Word of God ,so I let people believe what they will ,
but in my opinion ,the Bible version ,the dead rest waiting to be resurrected in one of 2 resurrections is comforting to me
I am not afraid to rest in peace until Christ comes ,and I do believe my name remains in the Lambs Book of life
I am no longer afraid ,and pretty confident as to how the events will take place
I know my mind can't fathom whats to come ,,but i am excited and looking forward to receiving the blessings I know are coming .
I fear for the clueless and the mockers
Before that day ,life is not going to be so good on earth
if you are not sealed with the seal of God
and time is coming when you are going to wish you were
and the faithful will not be harmed ,or ashamed
but if we were harmed and die ,,thats temporary
Deaths sting will not effect me ,when the Lord comes ,,
I'm positive ,,I am going home ,a dirt nap does not scare me

@Quizzical Lots of people who have said they loved Christ have died over the years but how many actually made their calling and election sure ?
Christ said the road to destruction was wide ,but his road is straight and narrow and few will actually find it ,he actually refereed to his as a little flock .
He called out the religions leaders of the day and called to the people and said these are white graves full of dead mans bones ,he further said that unless the righteousness of the people exceeded the righteousness of them they would by no means enter the kingdom of God ,,,lets look at the requirement to do that ,,
Revelation 22:14King James Version (KJV)
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
But today preachers teach and people follow blindly that the commandments ended at the cross ,lets look at the scripture they use to support this

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

They say this is the 10 ,the Royal law of liberty
Ver 14 says its Handwritten and they are called ordinances
They are against someone
contrary to them ,so they will end at the cross
they actually were made open shame of
Lets look at another law and see if maybe the precher' just might be mistaken which law ended at the cross ,,,,Oh you did not know there were 2 ?

Deuteronomy 31 :24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death?

Looks like Moses wrote down some laws too
the Ark held the 10 inside of it
This law Moses wrote down was placed outside the ark
The 10 actually show us the true meaning of sin
1 john 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
this is not the laws of Moses this was written by John AFTER THE CROSS ,,like 30 yrs later

Col 2 says handwriting of ordinances that was against us
Deut 31 says that it may be there for a witness against thee.

so I would say someone is trying to rob the saints of a blessing ,and from actually getting into heaven
Would you believe me if I told you Daniel already warned us over 500 yrs before Christ someone would think they had the authority to change Gods laws and an important commandment that deals with Time and laws that even the creator Himself observed ,He is actually the one who made it Holy ,and told us to remember it and keep it that way ?

Daniel 7:25King James Version (KJV)

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

just so you know the 4th commandment is a law that deals with time
Six days thou shall labor and do all thy work ,(common work days )
But the 7th day is the Sabbath Day ,not days as in col 2, Day of the Lord thy God ,,its says to cease from labor on this day as God did ,and to make sure to keep it holy ,,and Daniel already warned a man was going to think he could change it ,,the time ,times and dividing of times means 1260 yrs
So the religion that thinks it can do this is over 1260 yrs old ,and has changed Gods law ,,,,wore out (killed saints )and the words he speaks John says is Blasphemy ,to say he is the same as God and can forgive sin

its up to us to study if we really want to know the truth and know we serve God or if we are like the ones Christ told they would not enter heaven who listened to religious leaders and not the word of God .

I know this has gotten pretty long and no one likes to read now days
but it is an important subject ,so I will share one more thing

1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

There is a reason Gods law is mocked ,,let me remind you
the Ark 8 saved ,Sodom 4 ,only 2 got to go into the promised land that Moses brought out of Egypt ,get the picture ?
The Holy City is the same size as Disney Land in California ,I did the math and looked up a reference to see how big that was ,,Disney Land came up
it funny did you know Walt opposed God too
Ghosts ,witch's ,he loved a mouse more than God and mocked the holocaust

Your Traditions of men have made the word of God of no effect ,you have a form of Godliness but deny the power there of Christ
Has our righteousness exceeded the righteousness exceeded the Sadducee and Pharisees ?
Not if we don't know Gods law did not end at the cross ,the law of Moses did
and it was the Emperor Constantine that changed Gods Sabbath to a pagan day of worship to honor the sun ,not God ,321AD
That is as clear as I know how to make it
its my job to tell you ,,not my job to make you like it
thats between you and God ,,look it all up yourself ,then you will know

@rckt148 Oh, I've read the bible cover to cover. I just see it as any other mythology, whether that be Norse, Egyptian, Greek, or Roman. I cannot ignore the logical inconsistencies.

It truly fascinates me that in an age of reason and scientific understanding people still require some sort of mystical power greater than themselves to exist...

Thank you for putting such effort into your response though, You obviously believe very strongly and have a deep knowledge of your subject.

@Quizzical Well my Daughter was crippled from age 8 -12
a bone disease like I have ,her leg broke in 2 places that would not heal
but at age 12 she felt the power of God come on her and she began to run and shout ,praise God .
Her spine was in such bad shape she was in a body brace to ensure that her lungs would not become compromised
I got full custody of her in 95 and she was on SSi ,permanently disabled
I had to by court order take her to follow up appointments with CMS
They kept my Daughter for over an hour when I asked what the hold up was
they had her in the MRI Tunnel
One doctor says its a miracle the other that she had to have been misdiagnosed
When XRays were pulled and MRI's all doctors said it was impossible
"It looks like she grew a new spine "
I"ll save you the rest of the book that is my own testimony
Like I said ,I have a good reason to know God is real
you are welcome to your opinion ,,,its not a myth that healed my Daughter
it was God

[c=#7700B2]if i believed in a afterlife I'm sure i would be excited [/c]
popmol · 22-25, M
@PlumBerries lucky you! i'll also loose my hearing my sight and my skin will get a ll wrinkly!
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
[c=#7700B2]lol you make it sound all so tempting lol[/c]
popmol · 22-25, M
@PlumBerries well i'm a man if i'd be a woman i'd be talking about sagging breast and cheeks that sag ooh the horror! all beauty is gone and if you're lucky its not that bad but if its bad you are a skin bag with frail bones just a puddle of skin giving wisdom.

It's been a way for religions to control people but also a form of comfort to those whose lives are full of hardship and suffering
That said maybe there is some kind of afterlife. I don't know
However, it neither scares me or makes me feel glad
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User aah yes i understand.but I'd love an end.
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
You're doing the common mistake in thinking that it would be anything like this life, this is to those who say they don't want to live [i]again[/i]. All religions speak of a paradise, wherever we go or however it is that we get there, it's said to be much better than here. So think about that before you "hope" that you don't get there.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Quizzical indeed. but even then if that would not be a problem after the ark of noah there were 3 sons i think and father and mother so yeah it will be a little odd there.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@popmol I believe the lads took their wives along too, so nothing too incestuous this time, lol
popmol · 22-25, M
@Quizzical yes very great.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
I am sincerely hoping against it... I think I am onto a pretty safe bet though.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@Mguinm Oh, so we would not even get to laze around for eternity, but be put to work as gardeners? What about my hayfever??

So the choice so far is eternal tedium, or eternal brain-washing induced delirium, or eternal slave labour in a garden...

This afterlife sounds shit! 😞
Mguinm · 51-55, F
@Quizzical LOL thanks for the witty response 😆
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@Mguinm It's what I do, lol 😏

popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User sorry was only a question. i never wanted to let you doubt your own fate.
SW-User
You have nothing to be sorry for.Keep Well @popmol
popmol · 22-25, M
@SW-User thank you.
SandInMyShoes · 36-40, F
Optimistic sums it up
popmol · 22-25, M
@SandInMyShoes well that would be terrible! i want it to end! not a keep doing life until you fail in a good way and go to heaven!
SandInMyShoes · 36-40, F
@popmol Be positive, it could be good!
popmol · 22-25, M
@SandInMyShoes but i don't want to unless theres a lovely angel that i can hug for eternity and can eat pizza forever i'd love it.
Deadcutie · 18-21, F
Both glad and scared...
Deadcutie · 18-21, F
@popmol didn't say it was good, said it scares me
popmol · 22-25, M
@Deadcutie but you said you were glad?
Deadcutie · 18-21, F
@popmol well I'm glad that in the end I'll be resurrected back to life
That death is just a temporary state...
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
It may or may not be there. I don’t really care, I’ll treat everyone as I would like to be treated and be the best of what I can be.
