Posted by tekriter You cannot prove there is no heaven, however thee is no evidence that points to the existence of heaven. |
Posted by HarvestmanMan So, wouldn't it be better to just not try to prove or disprove it? |
Posted by HarvestmanMan Or is it just a matter of whether or not you're willing to give it the benefit of the doubt? |
Posted by tekriter I agree. The whole concept is ridiculous. It should have been relegated to the status of myth long with valhalla and mount olympus. |

Posted by HarvestmanMan Is it possible to take the Christian Bible completely literally, and follow everything it says? Perhaps. Is it practical? Absolutely not. I think everyone can agree on those two things. |
Some believe that if they follow every statute set forth by the Bible, then they're going to heaven. Does this imply that those who don't do that will not go to heaven? |
What does this say about the people who obey every small detail? Who determines what's important and what isn't - is it whatever the pastor says to obey? Is it personal belief? |
Finally, what if there isn't a heaven after all? This is a question I've really been grappling with myself, even though I know I'll never find the answer. What could possibly lie in the afterlife, if it exists? Heaven or hell? Reincarnation? Purgatory? Or absolute nothingness? What, exactly, is the point of trying to find an answer that doesn't exist in this world? Sorry for the large post, I just needed to get some stuff out of my noggin. |
Posted by PooYo It is God who has determined what is important. And it is clear, according to the Bible, that what is important to Him is our moral perfection.. in thought, intention, word, and deed. |

Posted by HarvestmanMan Also, I'm sorry, but I just can't take a post made by an anthropomorphized piece of poop seriously. |
