--- Quote from: Dave in Tenn on June 13, 2013, 07:22:27 PM ---Ladies, please forgive me if I come across too preachy or as a religious hobbyist loving to debate doctrine.  I don't love these truths because they make me right and everybody else wrong, and certainly not because I'm better.  I love them because they themselves are better.  I had a heart attack in my mid 40's which came awfully close to killing me, and spent a good number of months fearing every time I went to sleep I would wake up dead.   ;)  I've grappled with these questions not from a philosophical or theological standpoint, but as someone who felt he was about to find out for himself.  Every thought was confusion until I just believed what He said. 

As I said, I don't want to picket funerals and I'm not against ANY thing that brings a comforting thought to people in distress.  A couple of shots of vodka will do a man good too.  I know that God is in control and all ends well, even if they don't.  But I don't know any better than anybody else what 'awaits' us.  I just know I'm going to be disappointed if it gets boring after a while or doesn't exceed in goodness the evil that preceded it.

Back to my cave.

Maybe I could join you in your cave. Being able to accept the plan of God for all of us is a miracle in itself. WE all are blessed to have been given this tiny and yet vital piece of knowledge to give us true peace in our hearts.
Thanks for all that you contribute especially the admonitions to do better and to trust our elder brother the Lord Jesus.

In my former Christian days, while I was trying to raise my elder daughter to be a Christian, I recall having got her Randy Alcorn's, 'Heaven for Kids'.  She was about 11-12 at the time and I distinctly remember that she was more than amused with what she read about heaven.  Post BT, since we were having this discussion about heaven, I asked her (now 14) what she thought about the book.  She said she didn't even finish the book, it all sounded so fictional!  Why is it that we adults are so gullible?! :)

Patric:
we enjoy the fantasy....at least I use it as an escape in role playing video games and daydreaming at times.....my carnal mind needs stimulation lol......or I am utterly depressed....I often times attempt to kick start my spiritual mind....and that takes reading rays papers and or ideas and his teachings on the scriptures.....and reading the posts on the forum.....if left to my own I often drift.

Wasted 5 minutes of my life reading this thread.
