1 Corinthians 13:12

12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
Do you have a mirror polisher for me?

If Jesus has prepared a place for you, you won't need a material polisher, you'll simply close your eyes, and in the next twink, you'll be on the other side of that mirror and experiencing everything you couldn't before.

Recently, God thought I should watch a movie titled, “Have a Little Faith,“ and I am glad He did.

The story follows the faith journeys of a number of people, with excellent lessons along the way for them and us.

An intriguing question was posed at one point: after you die, if you had 5 minutes with God, what would you ask Him?

Well, I am still unsure with what that would be. Only 5 minutes?

Unsettled Biblical or theological questions?
Unsolved history or science questions?
Questions about the future?

Anyone have a ready, burning question or two?


Blessings.
I don't imagine myself asking Him anything. Why would I need to? Only to bask in His love, to be in His presence, that will be enough.

Much love!

If You Could Have a 5 min. Conversation with God . . .

Why would the devil do these things to us? What exactly is his motive?

The devil wants you dead because He envies the fact that we have a relationship with God, and he lost this.
He is "cast out" and we are "the family of God".
So, the verse says...>"who can stand before ENVY".......in other words.. envy is a type of inner jealously that borders on hatred.

Consider this verse.

Lucifer said......"i'll exalt MY THRONE above the Throne of God".
So, we see that Lucifer had a throne, had tremendous power, authority......position, but wanted MORE, because of his greedy pride, and he lost everything, and was cast out of Heaven.
So, he ended up on earth, and watched God create : "man in our image"... (God like), with power, authority, dominion, and Satan had none....

=Envy, Jealously, hatred...

So, He hates Mankind, because God gave to us what He wanted most of all....."equality with God"... yet he wanted even MORE.

And He hates Jesus, because He knows who He was before Jesus was born, and He knows that Jesus is God's offer of "come back to the Family" for everyone........and So, the Devil hates this.........because of envy.

What you said is reasonable, but I have my own opinion. Here is my biblical basis.

The Gospel of Mark 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

I think if the words here are not misinterpreted,
Satan may has the same relationship with God as we do,if satan is not a fool,satan could understand it.So Satan is jealous of our relationship with God that not to know where to begin telling.

If Satan wants to be as God, I don't know where to begin telling too. Did God only make man in the image of God ? Mark 16:15 But the scripture here says preach the gospel to every creature.

I don't think Satan wants to be more than God.
So I can't figure out what Satan's motive is.

I don't believe I would ask him anything either. I would just be thankful I made it. :pray:
I am already very thankful TO GOD , HIS CHRIST
for already having MADE the way POSSIBLE . Might i suggest those who name the name of CHRIST
depart from false love all inclusive interfaith which damns all
and rather we start reminding any and all who has breath of the absolute dire NEED to BELIEVE ON JESUS
the CHRIST . while there still be time TO DO so .
For on the day of the LORD the saints shall be rejoicing forever with HE who has saved us .
but WOE to the world that rejected THAT THERE SAVOIR . YEA i say WOE to them
AND DOUBLE WOE TO those who even dared to use that lovely name of JESUS
and yet preached a FAT LIE FALSE LOVE HOPE interfaith pile of dung . THEY will wail VERY LOUDLY
on HIS day . YES mam , I BE A STICKLER to the one true gospel cause I KNOW WHO SAVES . JESUS does .

satan has only one motive . TO STEAL to KILL and DESTROY .
you see satan already knows something . HE WILL BE JUDGED
He has great wrath knowing HIS TIME , HIS TIME IS SHORT .
WHAT did satan the serpent desire for humanity in the garden .
Was it life for them or DEATH for them .
DEATH .
GUESS what HE STILL DESIRES THAT . its why he invented a false love broad road all inclusive interfaith LIE .
one that implies ONE has no need to beleive ON JESUS THE CHRIST .
Darn he is a liar and YEP HESTILL desires the death of all . GOD DONT . ITS WHY HE SENT THE SON
so that all WHO DO BELEIVE in HIM would not PERISH but have everlasting life .
SATAN wants humanity to BELEIVE HIS LIE , whcih says , SURELY THEY WONT PERISH if they beleive not
GOD said man woud die in the day he ate of the tree . WELL GOD WAS RIGHT and death surely has come upon all
for all have sinned . JESUS came to give LIFE and LIFE ETERNAL
but satan sure dont want that for man but only death so he gonna lie like he always do .

So I can't figure out what Satan's motive is.
Just my own ideas, but I'm thinking that when God created the angels, and seraphim, and cherubim, the one who was the highest was enjoyed his exalted state. But when God created the "mud people", the one who was the highest of the angelic realm realized that this was all about them, these ridiculous and soft creatures made from dirt, that they would be elevated to be with, and be like God. Instead of himself. And envy took over. Not them, me! I! I will be like God! I will be, not them!!

Envy turns to hatred, If I can't be like them, I'll make them be like me!

Just my own speculation.

Much love!

Yes!

1. Are all the religions (Buddhism, hinduism, Tao, Sikhism, Zoroastrian, muslim etc...) all ways to heaven or what? or is Christianity the Only Way?

2. if some people end up in hell, can't You just set make Yourself known and set them free?

You would not be able to ask those questions, because you won't be in Heaven. You have to know Christ is this life to ask a question. Believe me, in Hell, those questions won't matter. Yes, Christ is the only way. John 14:6

if I am in heaven that means I must know Christ. I agree Christ is the Way. but I was going to ask God if there was any other religion that had a Christ that had a different name.
