What if I tell you this...?

Question

There is no Heaven, there is no hell, there is no judgment. We all will go to the same place and learn from the mistakes in past life, then we will be born again with a brand new chance to redeem ourselves, therefore there is nobody better than anybody, we are all equal.

Does that idea make you humble? Does that idea make you see the others with loving eyes? Does that idea make you be less judgmental? Does that idea make you feel better at all?

Mattgo64, I don't remember where I was before I was conceived, but I also don't remember anything before my 3 years-old and that doesn'mean I was not 2 years-old or less.
Peace!

Jana11, for your information, these people will come back and have the chance to redeem themselves, too. Nobody is better than anyone. And even the rapist will one day come back as a father of his victim (just an example of how it works), so that he can love and protect her with love.

Hate is not the way, Love is, and your statements are full of hate, which I fully understand. I have children myself. However, the most difficult task is really forgive and the rapist has to have the chance to repent and the victim has to have the chance to forgive. Victim and criminal needs to come back in a different situation, with a different bond, and with the blessing of forgetfulness.
Peace!

Smilingireland, not necessarily. Don't take it so literally. I tried to give a raw example of how it works. They might come back as parent-child, but not necessarily the victim as the child or vice-versa. They might come back as spouses or siblings or just friends. What I meant is that the WILL certainly come back with a bond, so that they can step forwar on the spiritual progress by having the chance to repent-forgive. You know what I mean? Please, don't look at your father as a rapist!! Use your brain.

Answer 1

I understand what your saying, but there is a heaven, when we arrive to that level, some of us have a choice, if we are advanced enough-if we lived enough lives to understand, we than have the choice to be reincarnated again or settle in heaven, or be someones guide...someone special to you.

Answer 2

Nope, nope, nope, and definitely not.

If everyone were equal, we wouldn't need to "redeem ourselves". We wouldn't need to learn from the mistakes in any life.

The view that the world is some sort of rock tumbler turning us into gems, makes me feel like some people would rather spend their time figuring out ways to feel good about the problems the world has, than they would doing something about those problems.

Saying that there's noone to blame for the bad things that happen to people, doesn't make those bad things okay, especially if repeated problems can be prevented in the future (unless, of course, preventing the problem would cause more problems and take more resources than it's worth).

If reincarnation happened, oh well. It'd just be one more thing about the world we couldn't do anything about. Why even care about it? Sure it'd be great knowing that I'd have infinite lives and continues, but it would beg the question, why do we have to die and start over to begin with? Being forced to die and start over is just pointless and silly.

Answer 3

Really...so there is no evil and there is no good...there are just mistakes. Does that mean that the man who stole, raped and murdered Samantha Runnion a few years ago...he's all good to go to get a brand new chance to brutalize someone else in his next life too...what about people like Hitler, Stalin, Gingus Khan, Attilla the Hun, Charles Manson...there is no judgement for these guys either? Wow, somebuddy somewhere is gettin' jipt. For me, Christ is my redemption and while I ascribe to the same theory about heaven and hell, for different reasons of course, there will be judgement and there will be punishment...that humbles me, that helps me to see others with loving eyes, that idea creates in me a heart that wants to share the Love of God with others and understand that when all is said and done with this time...it will all pass and there will be no more tears, no more suffering, no more death...it will all be destroyed. Love in Christ, ~J~

Answer 4

The truth you've spoken doesn't influence my humility one way or the other.
It doesn't cause me to love others more, or less than I'd have done otherwise.
It certainly doesn't make me feel 'better'.

What it does do is force me to accept the truth that my responsibility for my life and how I live it is entirely mine. It forces me to continually keep in mind that every decision I make each moment has a direct bearing on what I'll be forced to experience later.

Summed up, it raises the stakes for my choices during this lifetime [both individually and collectively] from poker hands to lottery jackpots.

Just my viewpoint.

Answer 5

Human beings are the best creation of God made for achieving sublimes in this world.There is hope for those not successful in this life that they shall undergo a refurbishment in the next world to become fit for achieving higher spiritual sublime despite the humble background.Ultimately ever human being is destined to be inloving and caring lap of God.

Answer 6

Well I liked your idea until you used the rapist coming back as the father of the victim example. Are you saying that victims of horrible crimes were once themselves perpetrators of the same crime? Absolute utter nonsense!

Answer 7

"Feeling better" isnt the issue at all!

The issue IS, what is TRUE?

There IS a heaven and a hell and there IS a judgement. We all DONT go to the same place and there isnt any such thing as reincarnation.
"It is appointed unto man ONCE to die, and then comes the judgement."

NO one redeems themselves. You either take Gods gift of redemption and realize He did something for you that you CANT do for yourself, or you end up in hell.

The LOVING thing to do is to warn everyone in ear shot that they have a choice to make TODAY. What will YOURS be?

Answer 8

We ARE all equal. Just because I found the Lord Jesus,
does not mean I am superior to others - God lead me to
His heart - simply that! I am grateful.

The idea does not make me feel better, only
truth truly makes one feel better - though truth
can hurt at first, yet I would not trade it for anything.

It's more about truth than about feelings anyway!

Answer 9

I agree with your first sentence. We all stop existing at death. No way for there to be any sort of consciousness without a brain. You know how things were before you were conceived? That's how they'll be after you are dead.

Answer 10

I have to admit that I have no idea what will happen when we die. I just live the best I know how, and give others the respect to choose their own path to do the same.
