What will it be like?

lone-traveler · Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2005 7:29 am Post subject: What will it be like?

If Jesus came back today and walked us through the gate into the kingdom of God, what do you believe it would be like?
And if the kingdom as stated in revelations, is here on earth, what do you believe life will be like?
Will we have to do any farming or cooking? will we travel? What will our houses look like? What kind of food will we have? If angels eat manna, then we have to eat too.
What do you belive eternity will be like?

Rv:21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rv:21:2: And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rv:21:3: And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Rv:21:4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Rv:21:5: And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

well I think Jesus is the gate that we walk through.

I dont believe we will have to worry about food or stuff like that.

We will see soon!

Well, we know that there will be A marriage feast according to the book of Revelation. I would imagine there would be some kind of food and drink there.

May god bless, golfjack

good am christina n Jack
both of you are correct here, and i find it interesting that 'lonetraveller' has written much, and opened the Book and done much copying of the Text.
Lonetraveller, i hear your heart crying out for more, and Truth, Just keep within yourself and let not the mind wander to far from home. God loves His children but staying within yourself is important for balance.
Recently, there was a big mess in New Orleans, and people were stranded crying for help, and food and water. Currently there are many hundreds of thousands of souls crying out for the fountain of living waters and the food of life, ie God.
So sometimes, you can compare experineces in this world to both the deserate cry for help, a rollercoster ride or just sitting patient and collecting your thoughts in comfort waiting out the time for His arrival or the end of the ride so to speak.

Hang in there and ask some good questions. Now you have discovered the most precious jewel amidst the garbage, hold on to it, don't throw it away and you will be able to cash it in one day for it's cherished value.

looking ahead, with two feet on the ground,

peace and true love,

David2

We should never live in fear because fear is the opposite of faith.

May God bless, golfjack

I am not afraid of going to hell, because by the grace of God through faith I am saved. It is your choice to believe or not.

May God bless, golfjack

I'm not afraid of "hell" as I don't believe in such a concept.
I have, maybe, 90 years on earth, and I don't have time wasting it on things that makes no sense to me, such as religion.

good am le not anyone kid you ?
Faith is the foundation, but evey living thing moves, therefore you must have actions. faith is lipservice and has caused many hundreds of million s to walk from the very teachings of the Christian Pulpit b/c of it.

You, may bleive what what you want but y my works shall you now me not of my conviction of faith alone.
Jews by birth claim to the chosen ones , considering they conclude their belief by the very same book that you have concluded your faith and belief. So stand face to face and have a showdown, my faith tells me this, oh ya, my faith says this, ya well your not a christian, ya your not a jew , oh now well what kind of jew are you if you can accept the jew jesus, ya well he was a foolish jew , and hung the fools, ya , well he died for you too, ya, well you think that but he died b/c he was a blashpemoiming fool. ya well you don't you well my faith and on and on and on
Riply's' Believe or Not' has more interesting things to see than two fools face to face, debating who's god is who . Believe it or not?

i don't believe in hell, Fake says, either do i. Hell is a condition imposed on man by evil men who are SAtans reps, and i don't believe Satans reps for one nano second , hence i don't believe in hell.
i Belive in God, andby doing so i hear Him, and trust Him. Last time i looked outside everything was just like it should be, perfectly going on, under His divine direction.
Yes that's right, i believe in universal order and control, diredtion and mangement of the highest magnitude. That 's right , i don't belive in the whatever goes, goes, and whatever blows blows, and the freaks out nature just so happen out of just an accident of nature or some magnetic field.,
nope, i don' t believe the car just popprd into thin air ready to drive, made from materials from the ground, nope i don't believe in the house just appearing before our eyes, as trees just magically broke themsleves down and came together, nope, i don't belive in miracles.

i believe in pragmatism , it 's going on for a reason and there is a life force behind every reason and every made or created thing, that's right i believe tht it takes a plan and organiztion to make all things and anything poosible even the so called accident on the road . i don't believe it was an accident, i believe it happened b/c some foolish person did some thing wrong or forgot to do something right hence an incident. Incidently it was because they failed to yield when they should have. So where is the accident? oh a child spilt his milk, ain't no accident, just not coordinated.

now when i look outside and see all birds and bees carrying on , not only don't i see any accidents i don't see any faults, that's right no mistakes everything working according to plan, animals eat animals they mate ,they play , they sing and they are what they are , but i see cooperation and annilation and killing and respect all in a perfect plan.

Now having said that i look to the skies and see the sun, stars and moon all going on coming according to some plan organizationa and repeated method of beauty and need to nourish and send the rains to feed the animal kingdom, hey and the humans in perfect order according to some order.

oh well i guess you can say i believe there is a 'master plan', and the plan has a director , producer and all star cast. And if i consider what role i'd like to play i guess i could offer my services to play a part of the masters plan. And no doubt it may take some experience and qualifications to get the postion.
i don't believe he would take me if i just said i can do the job, he might ask what my qulifications and experience were,, and not only that He probably has a background check to make sure i not be lying to him. And i guess he'll ask for references. as to what i've been doing.

hum ho hum i believe if my creditentials are in order i might be hired on.

GOOD DAY SON, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THE PAST THREE YEARS?

well , i had faith, and i put my money in the faith pot ever week,

AND,

well, i ate pigs and drove the kids to school, and had some fun on the side with neighbours and stuff you know the usual, and well went to the football games and cheered for my team and played golf on wednesdays and had a couple of pints at the 19th hole. you know, talked about women and all that good stuff. And prayed on Sundays

AND,

well , what else, can't i come in , i have faith, i told everybody about faith.

FAITH WHAT , FAITH HILL,

no , about you lord and faith , you know' faith.' you made it and told us that's 'all' we need and you would give us the mercy, so can't i get the job b/c of that, you promised right?

well look son, the hindus are all in hell, the jews are all in hell, the muslims are all in hell , the confusious, are all in hell the athiast are all in hell, and all the the Indians are in hell. i guess i'm supposed to take you with me to heaven b/c you have faith and they were just unlucky, and you got eveything right you have faith.

No lord , i see them everyday, i get paid by them and even they are my good neighbours. even i've become friends with them. They are all goin to hell, and just me and a few others lord, we are in right?

Is there something i missed?

peace out
David2

I spend time here for entertainment, you don't ever see me venture into the bible study forums, the specific books of the OT, NT, and Acro, do you?

I like to discuss politics, and in the debate forums, that is what's debated, politics, some throw in religion in it, I see religious politics in it.

Admin has a site at www.politicaltalk.com (Rev's a member there) but the forum is all but dead, so I get here to get a dose of politics when needed.

If I came here to truley bicker about religion, I'd be all over the place, not in the debate forums only.

I know Fake, I know.

You have to admit though, the comment was ironic and humorous.

Actually, you don't have to admit it.... but it was funny. Razz
