You are not the first person to ever come up with this idea; In fact 2,000 years ago the GREEKS thought the exact same thing; when you die; that is it; you simply cease to exist.

NOT SO FAST - As is commonly known; Josephus wrote that MAN must go down ONE OF Two DIFFERENT TUNNELS when he dies

EVERY ONE - has heard of people that have died and somehow come back to life - all over the world. They all had the same words to say. They saw a light at the end of a tunnel.

If there were not going to be any Armageddon; why are China & Russia preparing for it? Napolean once said when he viewed the plains of Meddigo - All the armies of the world could meet here and still have room to maneuver.

By the sound of your last sentence ; I couldn't care less if it happened tommorw.

clearly shows you are one very unhappy person!! & you are also
angry about something or someone. I can read a lot about you - just by the words you are using. If you actually tried... .. to spend time with the Lord; you would find out very quickly - He cares - But you won't even give HIM a chance!

sit down; shut up; and listen (to HIM) AND YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED @ WHAT YOU HEAR! Psalm 46:10 IS A PROMISE - "BE STILL & (you will )Know that I am God!

Jesus promised in John Chapter 10 "HE will speak TO YOU" but you are just too darn stubborn - to even sit down and listen! YOU KNOW BETTER!! your smart(er).

Let me tell you something (child). If this didn't work - I would have abandoned it 65 years AGO!!

I find a simple promise in the bible - I claim it (as mine) I stand on it - I DEMAND IT !! So how come I ALWAYS GET THE EXACT RESULTS PROMISED.

for over sixty years - not once has it ever failed - but you just do not understand how easy it is to ACCESS THIS POWER!

For starters, it's "Napoleon." Secondly, it's "Megiddo." God doesn't like it when you can't quote him correctly. Last of all, even the Apostles thought that the Resurrection would happen in their lifetime. Sheesh...lay off the sacramental wine!

We have changed it to:

In The Beginning was the word and the world was with God and the word was God.

Slightly different from the original greek

en arche en ho logos
In beginning was the word

kai ho logos
and the word

en pros ton Theon -
was with the God

ai Theos en ho logos
and God was the word

My daughter could recite the entire first chapter of the gospel of John when she was only 5 years OLD

Which version of the bible is correct ??

You have to use the original manuscripts to MAKE THE TRANSLATION from;

King Jimmy and or the Geneva bible are considered the most accurately translated DILIGENTLY from the original languages.

So using us as a template, i believe that the life forms on other planets are just as stupid and pathetic as we are. They'll never make it here in the forseeable future just like we can't make it to where they are for another thousand years, if ever.

This narrative of alien life forms being so intelligent is the stuff of science fiction writers for the purposes of entertainment. There is no reason to think they're anymore intelligent than we are.
Wholeheartedly agree. There is no superatural being that will save us. Nor will there some sort of alien intervention. I believe it likely there is other life out there, but it is it intelligent? If it is, how intelligent? And if they are as advanced as us or even more than us, space is so vast we won't meet them anyway.

People just seem to want a savior of some sort. Some turn to a religious or supernatural savior. Some cling to the idea that an alien species is out waiting to save us. The most likely scenario is that we are all we have. No one will save us but us. We are it. There's no magic savior out there to wisk us away from all the ills we brought upon ourselves. So we need to get our act together and fix ourselves.

That's just due to the chemicals released by your brain to ease the pain of dying, they have reproduced it artificially. The truth is that nothing happens when you die. That's it. Game over. You lose.

Oh she was... the teacher went absolutely bananas - nutso - freaked out!

My daughter came to me when she was in the first grade for show & tell and asked Daddy what do I do ??

I laughed and said - show the class the Red & black card trick.

Even though she was only 5; she had seen me perform this illusion many many times.

she went into school and handed a deck of cards to the teacher - Before she did that she took out two aces. A black ace and a red ace.

She put them side by side and shuffled the deck and handed it to the teacher.

She said. If you THINK a card is red - put it face down on the red pile

But If you THINK the card is black - put it face down on the black pile

YOU CAN DEAL IN ANY ORDER YOU WANT AS MANY AS YOU WANT IN EITHER PILE - just deal them any way you want.

The teacher held the deck the entire time. She did every move herself.

when they were finished the cards were simply turned over and every single card was correct! The class went nutz

That teacher was calling me up @ home for two weeks ! How did she do that ?? I said she didn't - she handed you the deck and you did it all yourself

The teacher replied Yes I know - but when I try it at home it doesn't work!!!
