Do you think you are getting into heaven?

[Clayton_n]

Well most people aren't good enough in a year to get a present from Santa. What do you think your chances are that you actually deserve to get into heaven?


Personally even that repentance stuff seems like a trap. "Cop to my sins and take what I've got coming? No thank you. Quick, Jesus, hold these while I talk to your dad."

In most religions about 99.9999999% of all people go to Hell (dogs meanwhile all get in). It's not forever unless you're a real jackass, but more of a way to pay for your crimes before you go on to your next life. You only get into paradise if you are either 100% perfect or if you have something really special and impressive about you (like being a god). And haven't done anything to get booted out.



So what do you suppose your chances are?

Do you actually know what would get you into Heaven? Like would it be better to be in church praying on Sunday or feeding homeless people? Have you actually ever prayed for anyone in hell to be forgiven?


I mean I'm sure they just let anyone in. Just because Lucifer, who by all the stories was the pinnacle of virtue and goodness and light fell doesn't mean you've ever done anything in your whole life the denizens of paradise might have a problem with, right?


If you do get in, what exactly do you think eternity would be like there? Considering what you have to do to get in.

What if it's NOT exactly like you think? Or worse, what if it IS?

I believe in God, so indeed I have faith that I'll go to Heaven one day. He saved me, and it is what He's done for me that I am eternally thankful for. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

If you believe in God then you also believe in the devil.

What makes you think you are getting into heaven and not hell? Or maybe a ghost if you are lucky. God does tend to sentence people to wander the earth eternally. What did you do to actually EARN it, rather than just expecting or asking for it? Why do you DESERVE it? What do you think their requirements are?

I'm definitely not a great example of a Christian, but you don't earn your way to Heaven. It's a gift from God through Jesus. The Bible makes that pretty clear, honestly. I've seen that being said multiple times here so I had to throw that in there. No one deserves it. It's through faith, not works. Sure, you'll want to do good things and attempt to avoid sin, but you're not saved on how many great things you do.

A lot of people like to just assume they're being rewarded. Seems unlikely.

Well, a lot of people also don't seem to read the Bible. Getting into Heaven (salvation) and rewards for doing God's work are two separate things. So maybe you should break out the Bible and read about it.

I tried. My fingers kept catching on fire.


Seriously though, I've read it. I actually know more than most. I mean how cool is it Daniel got sent to the lions for blowing up a dragon? Can you believe they edited out not only Adam's first wife, but Yahweh's ex as well?

In any case I wouldn't 100% trust a random collection of stories written by barely literate fanatical and superstitious peasants hundreds and thousands of years ago and mistranslated by a semi-insane king. I mean the Bible doesn't even mention woodpeckers. Clearly there are a few glaring errors in it and while I'm sure some of the contents are true, it should not be used as a sole source of information.

I mean the Bible even admits to the existence of other gods, yet many of the religions followers deny that.

They say adultery is bad, but god had a kid with another man's wife.

God created everything so that naturally includes things some people do not like or contradicts mortal beliefs on the nature of the universe and their place in it.











If man was made in God's image then....







And is man really God's ultimate creation? That seems to be a human assumption. Dolphins for example are smarter and seem to have the better life.





So rather than base your opinion on some interpretation of the bible, what do you think the chances of you, or the people immediately next to you, having earned eternal happiness?

My fingers started bleeding from cutting myself on all that edge.

Daniel and the dragon is included in some apocryphal Bibles and in Catholic versions of the text. Added much later, like a lot of other things throughout the years from people. Not canon. Feel like you haven't read the actual Bible, but probably typed in something along the lines of "exposing hypocrisy in the bible" or whatever to justify your original point of view.

The story of Lilith is a Jewish fable from the middle ages. Not in the Bible, nor mentioned in any part of the Bible.

Then why make a post about it unless you're trying to sh*tpost? You know, what my threads kept getting deleted for? Hmmmmmmmm If it is indeed a sh*tpost, your boomer memes definitely need some work.

Context. Not everything in the Bible is meant to be taken in a literal way. Metaphors. We learned them in middle school. You can make anything in your life a "god". Kind of like how the 7 days in Genesis could be interpreted as eons. If you go by Hebrew translations.

They say adultery is bad, but god had a kid with another man's wife.

Choosing someone to bear God in the flesh based on their purity isn't really the same as that. But I get it. The edge.

God created everything so that naturally includes things some people do not like or contradicts mortal beliefs on the nature of the universe and their place in it.

Free will.

And is man really God's ultimate creation? That seems to be a human assumption. Dolphins for example are smarter and seem to have the better life.

Right. Because dolphins are out inventing computers, building cities, and coming up with medical and scientific breakthroughs. Definitely smarter than people.

So rather than base your opinion on some interpretation of the bible, what do you think the chances of you, or the people immediately next to you, having earned eternal happiness?

So, do you think Butterface Jit is going to Heaven?

A look at hell:

Dolphins are not fouling the oceans, polluting the air, or building destructive weaponry. They're just... better than us.

You know I'm alluding to my vampiric dolphin romance collection The Classic Crush Saga. Worth it!!

Note: I did get off-topic, but I was responding tongue-in-cheek to a previous post.

I killed santa claus so

So it's you I can blame for not getting any christmas presents?

And for further notice, unless I kill someone, yeah I'm going to heaven. From what I've read and from what the pope's said, they're pretty relaxed about letting people in.

[Prince_Sapphire]

Considering who else is going to be in heaven, I'd kind of rather not go there. It feels like it'd be the wrong part of town in the afterlife.

Go to Hell: https://www.gotohellmi.com/

No kidding! There is a town in Michigan named Hell. It is about 46 miles from Detroit and just northwest of Ann Arbor.

[DOOM!]

Heaven is an illusion invented by the worshipers of the demiurge, who you all call "God" or "the devil pretending to be the God of the scriptures". All your belief systems are illusory; words of truth that were paid with the blood of our ancestors were used to set it's foundations and attract souls that were in search of the truth, then, the rest of the things "God said" were just wicked spells to enslave them. Rome controls the jews belief system, as the Palavicini families control all worldwide islam, needless to say how well they control conventional christians. Some refer to the vatican as soul brokers; i couldn't agree more.
All that being said, do you still feel like giving away your own energies of thought, emotion and action to an externalized god who's "appointed sacerdotes" say you may, or may not go to a better state of mind?
Because that all that heaven and hell are. A place (a trap) AND a state of mind (looped hypnosys).

"Most people think great God will come from the sky
Take away everything, and make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your right, yeah"

I'm a bit shy on the details, but I know for a fact there's an afterlife and stuff beyond the mortal coil
