Heaven - Part 2

Are we all supposed to be the same?

Are we all supposed to be the same? That’s probably a question lots of us ask. I’m asking it right now. So this is as much for me as it is for anyone. If you’re asking whether we’re all supposed to be the same, hopefully this will help you and me both. Notice though, I’m not asking are we all supposed to be equal. I wrote the same, as in identical. Specifically, identical in the way we act, our purpose in life, and things like that. It’s not a question of is one person somehow better or more deserving than another.

A trip to Hell on the way to Heaven?

A look at ourselves

What if we’re on the way to Heaven – and we have to take a detour? A trip to Hell. Some think the Bible says Jesus went to Hell during the time between His death on the cross and His resurrection on the third day – what we now know as Easter. So why not us?

All dogs go to Heaven, don’t they?

Learning from a dog

All dogs go to Heaven, don’t they? It probably sounds like a strange question for my site about God and religion. Well, not really. It’s actually very relevant, at least to me. And maybe you’ll think it is for you also.

will there be Jewish celebrations in Heaven

Did Jesus really foretell Jewish celebrations in Heaven?

Artisanal Bible Study

Did Jesus really foretell Jewish celebrations in Heaven? Yes, He did. Do you remember where? And the bonus question – why? After all, Jesus is the namesake of Christianity. So why will there be any Jewish celebrations, let alone one that Jesus is looking forward to?

Does God really protect us? If yes, from what?

Artisanal Bible Study

Does God really protect us? Of course he does. Then another thought: Does he always protect us in the way we want, when we want it?

Why do you stand here looking into the sky? Do something!

A look at ourselves

Why do you stand here looking into the sky? If you’re a wolf in the snow, you’re looking for clear sky. Or maybe just like to howl at the moon. If you’re a Christian, then this question is for you. Actually, this question was for you. It was asked a couple thousand years ago. And it’s still as valid now as it was then. And the point was/is – do something!

One Nation Under God. But Which God?

Artisanal Bible Study

One Nation Under God. But Which God? That’s a question I’ve brought up before. Today, I bring it up again because it appeared in a Letter to the Editor in the LA Times. Their heading was: If you want ‘one nation under one God,’ chances are it won’t be your religion. That is so true. But guess what? The point I always try to make is that it won’t be God’s “religion” either! That is, after all, implied in my site title – God versus religion. Also by its subtitle – What religion is God?

will there be homeless people in Heaven?

What do you do if your neighbor is homeless?

Artisanal Bible Study

What do you do if your neighbor is homeless? Do you think that can’t happen? Maybe that it could happen, but you know how to “fix” that problem? Or do you believe you’d be OK if that happened? Depending on where you live, it already has happened. In that case, what did you do / what are you doing about it? And why am I asking?

The Way Back Home

Seeing God in non-Christian music

The Way Back Home. But the way back home from where? And to where? I first wrote this one back on October 25, 2013. I cried when I wrote it. It still makes me cry. Even when I hear this song now, it’s got a whole added meaning to it beyond the obvious words. And today, March 3, 2021, I’m publishing it again.
Get some kleenex, and see a deeper message in this amazing song – The Way Back Home.

Is not testing really a good idea?

A look at ourselves

Is not testing really a good idea? You probably think I’m asking about COVID-19 testing. Well, I am, sort of. But only a little bit. Mostly, I’m asking about something else. However, looking at the question with an eye towards COVID does help come up with a valid answer for my actual topic.

Do we then really want to go through the rest of our lives with absolutely no idea as to whether or not likely to achieve that goal?
