(August 18, 2014 at 5:13 pm)Manowar Wrote: Can someone please explain to me the point of Heaven? If you are good you go there and serve God, for ever and ever and ever, sounds pretty bad to me. A scholar said this, I am paraphrasing here. " If heaven is real and is as described in the Bible, it must be the most unimaginable hell" That sounds right to me, so why should I want to go there?

Carrots. Hell and being beaten by adherents is the stick, and heaven is the carrot. You need carrots and sticks to get people to act the way you want.
