They keep insisting this is my best life now. I hope they’re wrong!

hmm well we reap what we sow I guess. What do you lack, right now, Woh?
Pls don't be reticent to state it
like everyone else :)

 

[bbyrd009]

We can show friendship to people indeed as a testimony, but from a strictly fellowship angle it's best to separate oneself from those who holds such aberrant ideas, where Scripture teaches differently.

Yes, bam sequester yourself away from those seeking life more abundantly at all costs, right

 

[bbyrd009]

I mean, I don't even blame you ok, that Death More Abundantly thing def has more appeal, huh? We get rewarded for...um, well, for something, believing a certain thing maybe...nope, not that, wait, Romans and Egyptians all believed that same thing right...oh wait, that was different right, I forgot

 

[bbyrd009]

Let the blind lead
the blind

So, if our right eyes offend us, how do we pluck them out?

ah well tbh I am conflicted here, you make good points @ "emotions" and "offending others" imo, and these are not easily amended with judging others I guess. We are told not to take offense, and to not intentionally give offense, so, um, my opinion there is maybe it is better to reason together about beliefs rather than try to reason together with ppl who hold those beliefs? Make it less personal iow. I note that this is still how rabbis reason together today, one can go sit at the Wall and listen to them all day long, quite a departure from our reasoning together, never heard a "no" I don't think...

but since I have your attn, I wonder if I told you now that you need Jesus really bad, and have surely found Seven Worse Spirits, how would that...how would you reply?

I can’t think of anything.

Or we could learn and speak aramaic which would be even more of an authentic 'religous' language.

We might have trouble finding qualified teachers both willing and able to teach... never mind the likely lack many students serious about wanting to learn.

 

[CoreIssue]

now we just need to figure out where heaven is huh. Oh, if only Jesus had left us a clue!
lol

No one knows until we meet all the requirements of entry.

@bbyrd009 and @CoreIssue

I would say that it is safe to say...as all came from God, and everything is in God...and there is nowhere, where God is not...
"Heaven" is God Himself.

The problem with that is there are three heavens. Third being dwelling place of God.

God being everywhere is in knowing and seeing not in actual presence.

What you're describing is pantheism.

why not just avail ourselves of those who have already done so, and written lexicons?
one might ask

No one speaks the ancient languages used by religions today.

God is light 1 John 1:5 and I agree with the lyrics to Amazing Grace, "when we've been there 10000 years, bright shining as the sun". Also Jesus on the mount of transfiguration might give us a glimpse of what to expect.

What a wonderful hymn, with Scriptural sentiment!
