The hope is that you would stop discussing the matter and instead think about fishing, kissing a baby and/or helping out to bash the religious instead of focusing on the positive sides of faith.

And pains will exist too. That’s what you said then.
So our spirits will feel pains and pleasure in heaven?

we understand that "hope for heaven" relieves the angst of death. We do not say people that don't think our god is real is not going there based on a statement of belief about that god like some fundy theist do.

why do you let fundy think types tell people they going to a place like "heaven" only when they believe in your god?
I am not sure if this is my mantra - not sure if I have ever said here that my God is the right one and anyone who does not believe in him, is going to go to hell. No, I stay away from saying such rhetorics as I don’t believe in it.

And I can’t stop fundies who say so on this forum.


By the way. When some people do not have any hope, don’t we call them, “hopeless people” ?

yah, we may be closer than a forum would allow.

My main position is that what yu are calling god is a set of traits that the system has. I feel you are just misunderstanding it.

we need to try and figure out how the rational people can control the fundy think types. we have them in atheism and they completely butcher what science is and says in order to bully and deceive people about a statement of belief about god.

how do rational believers and non believes work together to stop them? how can we show believers, that due to dogma, they have a higher concentration of fundy think types and thus, in many ways, have more responsibility than atheist?

The pain and evil are what the process of refining out the dross in the consuming fire of God's love is for.

No, angels are all considered as males. Angels do Not reproduce baby angels.
Those saintly or holy ones (resurrected people) who are called to heaven will have spirit bodies as heavenly Jesus has.

Since you have earthly desires then you are called to be part of the humble meek who will inherit the Earth - Psalm 37:9-11
If you are alive at the soon coming ' time of separation ' on Earth as found at Matthew 24:31-33,37,40 then you can be part of the figurative humble ' sheep ' (verse 37) who can remain alive on Earth, and continue to live on Earth right into the start of calendar Day One of Jesus' coming 1,000-year governmental rule over Earth.

I am wondering what you think about the words found at Revelation 21:4-5 when there will be No more pain.

So, we can go to heaven and be super bored, or be the "humble meek" and continue to have fun on Earth?

Hmm.... Tough choice.
