Will there be cheese in Heaven?

A look at ourselves

Will there be cheese in Heaven?  Maybe you don’t care.  I do.  I’d like to see smoked salmon too.  But here’s the thing.  Cholesterol is becoming a problem for me.  And the number one factor is cheese.  Almost everything is better with cheese.  And the more cheese, the better it is.  Even cheese alone is good.  So when I ask, will there be cheese in Heaven – it’s a serious question.

For you, maybe it’s butter.  Or bacon.  Or something else.  Whatever’s important to you – you might be asking, will there be [fill in the blank] in Heaven.

Why were Adam and Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden?

Why were Adam and Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden?

A look at ourselves

Why did Adam and Eve get kicked out of the Garden of Eden?

Because Eve ate the fruit?
There it is – Adam said, in modern words – “She did it!”
And, because we don’t really “listen” / pay attention, we tend to go along with that.
But, if we are listening and paying attention, what do we do with the words “who was with her”?  He was there.  Many Christian commentaries ignore this phrase altogether and say nothing about it.  Others will try to explain it away, saying that other things happened between the exchange between Eve and the serpent – and the moment Eve gave the fruit to Adam. But Adam was there!

A trip to Hell - on the way to Heaven

A trip to Hell – on the way to Heaven

Grown-again Christian

Think about this as part of our trip to Hell.  Not after we’re dead – not while we’re on the way to Heaven – because that’s too late.  I say, think about it right now.  Well, how about after you finish reading this.

While we’re “visiting” in Hell, we’ll see all of our friends and loved ones who’ve died, and didn’t make ti to Heaven.  Now, think about how many of those friends we reached out to while they were alive.  How many of them did we share the Gospel with?  How many of them did we try to steer away from Hell, but instead put them on their way to Heaven?

The problem of Coexist – and – Love your enemy.

Barriers to Belief, The problem of ...

Coexist.  Love your enemy.  One is from man.  The other from God.  Can the two concepts actually “coexist”?  What about hatred?  Where does it fit in?

Coexist.  OK – you had to know it wasn’t going to be as simple as just getting along with each other.  True – even that is hard enough.  But look at the image to the right.  I haven’t seen it hardly at all lately, but it used to be a popular bumper sticker.

Can I trust what I think I know?

Can I trust what I think I know?

A look at ourselves

Is what I know real knowledge or just knowledge?  Well, that depends.  Knowledge has a dictionary definition.  But there’s also a social component related to what can be known and therefore can be considered knowledge.  And then there’s our own brains that also get involved in what we consider knowledge, as opposed to something less than knowledge.

A Jet for Jesus

Something from the news

A jet for Jesus.  Sounds good, doesn’t it?  How come Jesus never thought of that? OK – so Creflo Dollar lives in a time when jets actually exist, and Jesus had the misfortune of being born too early.  But still – how about a fleet of top “Dollar” horses to get around on?  Even the Roman

Our Father

The Lord's Prayer

This then is how you should pray: Our Father…
But what does the word “Father” really mean? It’s a common enough word. But does it have the “common” meaning in this context?
