confident! it is going to likely be greater beneficial than non violent. a million Corinthians 2:9 says "what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard neither has it entered into the heart of guy, what our lord god has arranged for people who love Him." do not forget that to each tale there's a beginning up and an end. You quoted what has occurred interior the beginning up yet once you examine all the thank you to end you will see that each thing that become incorrect would be made the excellent option. God will make all issues new, not merely with us yet even all of creation. God has spoken that the priority we are able to journey would be an enduring one. we are able to never would desire to hardship approximately something ever going incorrect lower back. Thank God He has shown us what's to return and in Christ their is not any worry, for suitable love casts out all worry.

Don't we wish...But, God in His Goodness created the human race, that we might have souls which can one day enter Heaven. To let us in for free would not satisfy His perfect Justice, so we have to live on this world, do good, and accept his mercy and grace. Each of us has a calling that we must follow, and we can all look forward to Heaven after a good life. Let Heaven be your hope and motivation, Let God be your guide.

When I was fourteen, I had to go under surgery to have a brain tumor removed. Before I 'went under', I thought this same thing but I thought death would be fine (since I wouldn't feel it). I was so disappointed when I came to! I thought I must have really POed God for him not to end my suffering. Now, I understand there simply is not one and I find life to be a smetimes good, sometimes bad adventure. But always interesting to be alive!

Because your time is not up yet, you made a contract before you came here, on what you had to do, to come home clean and faithful, until you have not finished your task, you must stay here among us sinners.
Your time is when you are about to depart, and you pull the plug between living or dying

The Kingdom of God is a spiritual reality that can be experienced in the here and now. Paul said this:
"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit," Romans 14:17
Peter expressed this about the Christians he was writing to:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls." I Peter 1:3-9
This experience of the spiritual in the here and now begins when we have a personal encounter with God through the Holy Spirit. He comes to us to convince us of our sin and need of salvation. When we agree with God's indictment against us, He then leads us to see the solution - the Son of God come down from heaven, crucified for our sake, so that we might receive forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life. This we receive by simple faith, accepting the offer of forgiveness extended to us, coupled with a sincere desire to turn away from our sins. Then God does what we cannot do for ourselves - He causes us to be born again, born of the Spirit, and we receive an impartation of the Life of God Himself into our heart.
Thus God does not take us immediately to heaven, but grants us a measure of the Life of heaven itself directly into our heart.
That is why Jesus said:
"You must be born again" John 3:7
Call upon Him today!

Don't we all think about this at some point? I would love to go, but I'm not allowed to until it's time. We are all put on this earth for a reason and a purpose, and we have to live that out first.

Heaven is a concept that was dreamt up by man kind in which he writes about it in a self procalimed holy book called the bible
No one is going to heaven, how ever much they may believe in imaginary gods and heavens.
There is no heaven and no one on this earth is going to die and go to a place that does not even exist
Prove me wrong ! :-)

I would love to go right now. But God has work for me to do here. Read what Paul said.
Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

you can just get caught up into the spirit and love God he will take you there
Paul said he knew a man who was caught up into the third Heaven that is where God is
