I personally don't believe life or anything in it is an illusion
but what I have wondered if everything in Gos creatons is inside of God or outside of God ?
Acts 17:28
God bless all.

That's an interesting thought Rick. When you say 'inside of God or outside of God' do you mean like inside or outside of His mind?

Yes ,Largeli, thats what I meant , I thought about the entire universe existing inside of God and nothing exist outside of God.
God bless.

Yesterday doesn't exist. It did exist yesterday but it doesn't exist today. It's only a memory. Tomorrow doesn't exist. It will exist tomorrouhhw but not now..... Or is everything (past, present, future) all part of an unbreakable 'present'... You can't separate past present and future, so is it all one?

When I think in terms of time as you stated , it gets strange, what I mean is if it takes me five minutes to communicate something I start saying something in the present which becomes the past and finnish in the futurure. but I always remain in the present.
Think about it. :-\
God bless.

Reality is what God has made it to be for our use and benefit - experience as our perception of the world. Our perception of reality is what the 5 senses perceived by our minds, that our brain interprets and we relate to. God has given us a state of being and awareness, so we observe and learn how navigate in this world. This is our introduction into existence, physical life and developing knowledge through the things we experience. It's only the beginning.
To me time is a way of registration things, time is like a chain of events, so we know what came first and then next. It just a way of keeping up with things, it's not like things happen all at once. Ray had a Bible study called 'Time and Eternity' that you may be interested in reading.

The amazing thing about all this is that it is a real experience, and not an illusion/dream, as God is giving us this this so that we can move on from here, when we are ready or properly prepared, to something better, much better. I think that though all we really can relate to now is the physical, the spiritual is the 'real' thing and not just temporary. when we have been fully brought into it is so much more than anything we have experience yet. Paul said he was given a glimpse of the heavenly realm and that there were just no words that could express what he saw.
2Cor 12:3 I know that this man—whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows—
v. 4 was snatched away to Paradise and heard things that cannot be expressed in words, things that no human being has a right even to mention.
mercy, peace and love

Hi Kat,
Thank you for the link time and eternity, I learned some fascinating things from it.
How wonderful God is becoming to me, He, God is nothing like Christendom says He's like and I am so blessed to learn these truths.
God is so awesome.
God bless all.

So jealous of Paul :( lol. To have seen the things he did. Yet our Lord has promised us
John 20:28-30
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Hab 2:4 “Notice their arrogance—they have no inward uprightness—but the righteous will live by their faith."
How I yearn for the end of this evil age and our King's return.
God bless,
Alex
