3 reasons for Christians to start questionng their faith

[smax]

I have read your beginning post. I apologize for assuming that you were speaking of your response to me. I have read Revelations one time all the way through. It can be difficult to decipher for sure. I just want to know how you can turn willing servitude into slavery? If I wasn't willing to serve God, then why would I want to go to heaven? I don't mind serving the Almighty, especially when He offers everlasting life of the best kind, with no war, no pain, no tears, and no death! This is what I meant by my last post, and so I will apologize for confusing what you said.

Okay, with that out of the way, let's talk about the verse you referred to:

John 14:1 There are many mansions.....

First, you need to understand that the scripture depicts Jesus talking to the diciples (specifically Peter), and not a crowd of people (or gentiles). This specific address to the deciples is one of several scriptures pointing to a class system in heaven. But the book of Revelations is far more to the point on the matter.

Secondly, the greek word here (μοναὶ (or monai) is poorly and selectively translated to "mansions" by the KJV. Most other translations use the words "dwelling" or "rooms". There is obviiously a big difference between the two, with the word mansion falsely conveying the idea of some level of individual importance.

You should be careful with that King James Bible that I'm sure you are so fond of. Many of it's translations have been questioned as being erroneous or selective.
