going home to glory what would you say? Knowing you have loved ones that are lost and are not saved would you stay and try to plant seeds or go home if God hgave you a choice between the two. Me I would go home in a flash. I chose Jesus above anything. I would not miss anything in this life. I would go straight home.So christains I wounder how big your mansions are? If God told me tonight he was going to take me home I would not tell anyone and just jump up and down with joy. I know God will not give me a choice, but if he did I am home. And if God said he would take me tonight like I said I would just go home without anyone knowing. They will find out sooner or later. So what would you chose this sinful world or your mansions that Jesus has prepared for you?

Does this mean you're going to go away? Because that would be awesome.

Well when God wants me I'll go, his timing is always best & he knows what is best for all of us
as far as my relatives, I have told them about God& Jesus & they have repented
& are now Christians, as for the relatives that I never have met (due to distance) all I can do
is pray that before there time on Earth comes to
an end they too will come to have Jesus as their
Lord & Savior
take care

I see what you are asking and I understand what you are saying but I believe your ideas are based on some misconceptions. In John 14 Jesus was comforting the disciples by figuratively telling them that even though He was literally leaving their presense through the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God (Fathers House) He would be returning to them with the Holy Spirit to dwell among and inside each one of them as they become the temple of God. Jesus with His death He would destroy the Temple (the Temple Mount or place of worship that had become a mockery in Jerusalem) and rebuild it in 3 days. That meant that when each of us receives Christ we recieve the Holy Spirit indwelling. Mansions as the Hebrew word is translated means rooms. Alot of people misconcieve of that notion. I know I did until I was led to understand it. I would not miss anything in this life either because I trust that God is in control and my presence here makes little difference in the scheme of things though we would like to think otherwise...for my childrens sake I try not to fear ever leaving them but I pray God forgives me that I do sometimes. I love God as well more than this world or this life or anything..but I also understand through extensive Bible study that what mainstream religion teaches us about death is not what the Bible teaches. If you truely look at scripture you will see that throughout the Bible death is called a sleep...as state of non-existance. When you die, because the Spirit that keeps you alive belongs to God, we are not each of us immortal little spirits, goes back to Him and we are out of the picture..until...the end at the resurrection to Judgement. I have mass scripture that proves this...mass amounts and I truely only study the Word of God and not concepts put together by man. Death is death for everyone except for Christ..but as David knew...he could die in peace and trust that the one that will restore us will come and in a twinkling of an eye we will be made new...not to live in some heavenly kingdom of clouds and etc..but on a new earth where there is no sin, no death, no evil...all these things will be cast into the fire and destroyed. Anyone who does not belong to God is not doomed to spend enternity in a flaming pit of fire either. Hell is a greek term translated from the Hebrew Sheol which means grave...literally to be covered over. So, you mansion is that place in your heart where God is so you can jump up and down with joy because you belong to Him and you are already home. If you die tomorrow you will awaken to see that time of Judgement and for God to say to you, "enter in, my good and faithful servant..." Love in Christ, ~J~

God gives everyone a choice.
What makes you think all Christians live in mansions? I'm a Catholic. Me and and my spouse and our child live in a 2 bedroom apartment and we own one car that is 13 years old. We are far from rich, but we are happy.
Why do hate Christians so much? God may very well call you home someday, so you should learn to let go of your hate and bigotry so you are ready when that day comes.

I don't think life or fate happens that way.
We generally don't know what our days on earth will be. I am not so dissatisfied with my life in this world that I am anxious to go.
On the other hand when God says it's my time I'll be glad to go.
I'm not making the choice. God is making it for me, and I'll go with his choice for me.

No, certainly not. A single global language would decimate world culture, eliminate industries, and cost an unfathomable amount of time and money. Not to mention, the question of what language would be chosen (Mandarin is, after all, the most spoken language).

Well, at some point God will say he's taking each one of us home tonite. I don't think He takes us until our work here is finished. Everyone's work is different. I don't think God plays favorites, and the size of each individual's mansion won't matter to us once we're there and it shouldn't matter to you now.
