Who thinks they are a good person and why ?

Question

do you know you will all be coming with me to the realms of spirit
because God plays no favourites and loves everyone equally
isnt that wonderful ?

yes even you my atheist friend .. because God also loves free thinkers

daliaadel i am sure Allah is smiling xx

aw but candy i dont live by the bible
but
this does not make what you say any more real or true than what i say
isnt that wonderful that i believe i will be seeing you in heaven though :o)

simplysara
well put and yes i totally agree , there are bad apples in every cart
but i believe that many of our wrong doings are actually met in this life ( karma if you wish )
but i do believe in realms of spirit , and some of those realms are lower
however
this does not mean that there will be any eternal damnation , but a place to reside until you have earned your right to move to the next , through lessons and spiritual advancement
so no hell ( which is great )

sorry got you confused with someone else lol

Answer 1

Well, I like the sounds of your god! A loving being who doesn't punish eternally! That other guy sounds like a toddler on a power trip.

Yes, it does sound lovely. I don't really think we're going there but if we did, your heaven would be nice.

Answer 2

I think you are lovely. But I am not sure whether we will end up at one place after all that drift into this open ocean. I do like good and positive thinking, I agree, as good thoughts spread light and bring hope and happiness in the world leading up to good happenings. But if the lives of people can be so different, including the lives of those who even think almost alike, then what is the guarantee that we all will reach the same pleasant island at the end of our voyage.

The problem, you see, is that the people who think alike they do not always act alike and this is the point that worries me most. On the other hand the people who believe in acting alike even when they initially think differently they tend to find soon harmony and coherence within their heart and minds.

Ok, ‘God plays no favourites’ I admit, but then again He has give us a choice hasn’t He. What is the significant of this? And the laws of the world tell us that we do nothing wrong if we only think bad, but if we do something wrong we stand that consequences, that is for sure. What do you think?

Answer 3

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Matthew 7:12 Treat others the way you want to be treated. Walk at lest a mile in someone Else's shoes before bashing or judging them.

God is spirit and He is to be worshiped in spirit and in truth.
Yes it is wonderful God does not play favorites but this is also true where much is given MUCH is required Luke 12:48.

I have not always been kind or nice I have been very nervy ballsy and mean to people when they were only trying to help me.

I am a good person because the Holy Spirit lives within me I am only good because of Gods mercy,grace and unconditional love.

Hi Pangel: I'm upright. I strive but I am not perfect, nor do I wish to be. You might like some of these quotes"

“Let us not talk of them, but look thou and pass, these innumerable seekers of safety first, and last, who take not risk either of suffering in a good cause or of a scandal in a bad one, are here manifestly, nakedly, that which they were in life, the waste and rubbish of the universe, of no account to the world, unfit for heaven and barely admitted to hell. They have no need to die, for they were never alive.” -- Dante Alighieri

“Be aware of your own worth, use all of your power to achieve it. Create an ocean from a dewdrop. Do not beg for light from the moon, obtain it from the spark within you.” – Muhammad Iqbal

Answer 5

Yes Pangel I would concurr with you. I think that heaven is no place of limits, since the spirit alone has none. And yes god plays no favorites. This has been suggested in many religions, but it seems that people feel as if he does, perhaps it because they have to. And you know being the spiritual person that you are there is purpose in everything, even those who choose not to believe. As usual Miss Pangel I wish you well

Answer 6

I am neither indiferent, or bad... So I must consider myself good.

Should I answer no, would that not mean I consider myself bad? Why would I put myself down like that?

Which is not to say that there haven't been times that I've acted or reacted badly.

But in the overall path of my life... I'm a good person.

Answer 7

I'd kinda planned on going to the realms of spirit anyway

Answer 8

I suppose I am good but I could be better! HA HA! Yes I will see you in the spirit realm! Nice to hear you this morning Pangel.

Answer 9

I am a good person..I put others before me and I live for my children they are my # 1 priority..(thats how it should be) and I dislike when people are mean to other especially animals and kids..but I believe everyone is a good person if they follow the right paths...god bless

Answer 10

I think I'm a good person because despite extreme provocation I didn't once stab my ex and dismember him then poor acid on some of his remains or sew the rest into airtight canvas rolls so that I could kick and punch him for the next 20 years.

So yeah I'm pretty good - but your heaven sounds a bit airy fairy to me - could we fight some demons on the way please.
