@FurryFace I think it's only the process we have to go through that we naturally don't look forward to, but death in itself, I don't fear. If I didn't know where I'd end up, I would.
@LadyGrace well that's one of the fears , the unknown , besides the pain and suffering on the way , but it doesn't end there , i gotta bone to pick with God and he hears about it from time to time me complaining about stuff
@FurryFace I understand what you're saying, but it's not really the unknown, because God told us everything we need to know about heaven and how to get there. No one has to miss it. It's our choice. Trouble is, man thinks he sets the standard for salvation, but he doesn't. So....if he does it his way, instead of God's sure way to get there, he'll stay seperated from God and heaven, because he's not asked God's forgiveness for sins. There's only one thing that keeps us separated from God, and it's not God, Himself. It is sin. God wants everyone in heaven with Him. But if people say, "Hey...I hate God and want nothing to do with Him." And mock and curse Him, God will honor their choice, but they can't enter heaven with their sins, or it wouldn't be heaven anymore. That's not too much for God to ask. It's very simple.
@FurryFace God told us more than enough about heaven. Jesus didn't come from heaven and die on the cross and suffer all that pain, only to leave us in the dark about how to get to heaven, and leave everyone to go to hell. I'm sure we'll have plenty to do besides singing praises all the time. 馃槀 And who, in their right mind, would choose hell over heaven? I think only those who truly have a misunderstanding about all of it. We won't ever be bored, I'm sure of that.
@LadyGrace its what will we be doing once we're there ? , that i don't know besides his will , Spiritual living is very different from physically living as we do on Earth
@FurryFace I just saw you have a bone to pick with God. So you don't think he knows what he's doing? He's perfect and sinless. How could he make a mistake? Could it be that you have a mistaken impression because none of us can possibly know His reasons for everything He does? He said we won't know every reason for everything that happens, this side of heaven until we cross over. He told us what was the most important thing to know. How to get to heaven.

Right, true....but who cares??? Isn't that better than the alternative?? I know God said no eye has seen, nor ear heard, the wonderful things we'll experience in heaven. You can't beat an eternity of nothing but genuine peace, love, happiness, along with all the surprises and beauty and complete freedom we'll enjoy in heaven. We'll have new spiritual bodies that will never die, hurt, be in terrible pain, no diseases, we'll never ever be tired, upset or depressed, no tears, no sadness, no death of loved ones there, and the wealth of knowledge we'll have, will be unbelievable. So much more is there waiting for us, it is beyond all we could even imagine or understand. No crippled people, thank God. The beauty we've never even imagined. I can't wait to see the Angel's and hear legions of them sing! Thousands upon thousands.
@FurryFace Oh yes. He knows our every thought and why we believe certain things. And even though we goof up at times, He still loves us. He understands we're not perfect. He doesn't love us because of what we do, or do not, do. He loves us because he is God and he created us, calling us his crown creation. I'm just thankful that salvation is not dependent on our performance. It is God's grace that saves us, through faith. Not of works, lest anyone should boast they saved themselves. Not possible.
