Subject: Re: Faith Life Church Author: Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:48:27 11/15/06 Wed In reply to: Tim 's message, "Faith Life Church" on 19:00:39 10/28/06 Sat Am I ready? Tim I can get ready faster then anyone you know for almost anything. I am up everyday at 5, I work Tons and Play more then almost anyone you know. The point should be about a full existance in this reality not about some expected one that doesn't exist. If your not comfortable here and now how will you ever be comfortable anywhere. The whole JC thing is a smoke screen used to hide from reality. Instead of embracing life it forces you not to look at it. The clock never stops ticking and every day could be your last. If by chance you did get to Heaven you seem to think you would be a different person? Its not likely. How would you occupy your self for eternity? Would you start a Church? Once your where all the JC stuff says your headed, what then? What is basking in the glory all about after the first couple days? Heaven seems pretty boring to me.

[> Subject: Re: Faith Life Church Author: Tim [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:49:17 11/21/06 Tue If you can be content in the here and now, my friend, then you are already a leg up on most people. However, the reality of heaven and hell is not a question you want to wait until this life passes to find out about. Contentment is not a way of life in hell; i've been there, i know! By accepting the sacrifice that Jesus made for the sins of the whole world as the gift that God intended FOR ALL OF US (John 3:16), we can enter into the sweet by and by, spiritually speaking, right here and now. Enjoying this physical dimension that we live in then becomes a geniune joy, unspeakable at times, and which I believe can truly be compared to heaven, but as I said before, this takes practice; I'm not there yet, but in Christ there is hope, even for me, as the apostle Paul writes to Christians everywhere: "Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day." (if you'd like i can get you the chapter and verse on this). In the meantime, may the Father's will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
