The Right to Enter Paradise

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Therev are very few things that the Vatican and I agree on. One was the recent ( relatively speaking ) re-arrangement of the official view of 'Hell'. Now the party line is that 'hell' is not a place, it's a state of mind.

The reciprocal has not yet been stated, that 'Heaven', therefore, must also be a state of mind, but I expect that they will get aroiund to it. Although now I come to think of it the latest incumbent, as a former chief executive officer of the 'Holy Inquisition', probably will put a stop to all this namby-pamby revisionism.

Sorry, I digress.......as usual.

I believe, with some good and practical reason, that our 'spirit', that energetic spark that drives us, after a while of re-adjustment, the length of which is determined by how prepared one is for the dropping of another body, re-expands into it's more accustomed environment.

Some believe that it re-merges with the 'River of Life' and loses some, even all, of it's individuated awareness. I suspect not, although it may vary tremendously from entity to entity, and that we retain all of our individual memories, as well as those of the 'One'.

It is clear that concepts such as 'Time' and 'Space' become meaningless beyond the physical ( and relative ) realm, thus the idea of 'Heaven' as a place holds no value for me.

But that the condition after physical 'death' is heavenly, I have no doubt whatsoever.

No separation, no loss, no need, only the Oneness of it All.

There`s no such thing as Heaven and your spirit goes to sleep permanently.

Your spirit is the essence of your life. It is what you leave as the mark on the mind of those you leave behind. Heaven is where people could talk about and cannot forget the good things you did for as long as it can be remembered. Some heroes have done that and until now their names remain written in the archives of history, monuments and streets. Most importantly it stays carved out in the palm of our God.

Jesus promised his faithful apostles a position in Heaven. Revelation tells us that heavenly number has a limit.
144,000 of mankind are to be bought from the earth, taken to heaven where they will at as kings and priest to heal mankind from the effects of sin and death. This Choosing began in 33 CE at Pentecost.
This healing is start taking place after Armageddon.
In the mean time, those of mankind who have died, rest in the grave, in Greek it is called Hades or Hell.

Your spirit regenerates in some other form, somewhere in the universe. Heaven is becoming one with God. It is a process, not a place.
