To those who believe in Heaven and hell

[catfish]

I'm not even going to bother pointing out what is wrong with your logic, have fun.

Why thank you! I will. It is such a blast mocking the stupid things christians believe in. The only downside is that we go through a lot of keyboards from spewing our drinks in laughter.

And I derive much pleasure from seeing some of the stupid things that atheists say.

Please, explain how a one day marriage and "must not divorce" confuses yourself.

Remember we will live forever, so your 5 google is as nothing.

That's impossible.

Wow, so it looks like the best thing for the loving christians to do would be to prostitute themselves in those 1 day marriages that are so popular in Sunni islam. One sanctification per booty call. Which churches have the hottest gullible women?

So, all this hoo ha about having to accept Jesus into your heart to get into heaven can be walked around as long as you marry a believer? Heaven's 'getting in' policy is about as good and well enforced as America's.

Everyone makes it, don't you read the Bible?

So why then do we need to join your Jesus club?

When have I ever said that you did?

Oh, such a literal mind!

Try taking the question in the context it was asked: if one doesn't need to be christian to get into heaven, what is the purpose of being a christian? And if that's the case, what's in hell?

I have some inkling memories in the back of my mind about your beliefs on this, but rather than speak for you, I'd rather hear it from the fish's mouth. Don't get me wrong, I've heard this line from other christians, but it puzzles me as to why one should bother believing in the god that operates like that at all; you'll get the evidence enough to believe in him after you die, and that's the point you'll be rationally justified in believing in him. What's the point before that?

To get to Heaven you must love the Lord and your neighbor as yourself. You must do both. If you do not love the Lord then you love only the natural world. If you do not love your neighbor as yourself, then you love yourself above all others. So…

If you do not believe in the God, you go to Hell.
If you say, “I can be good without God,” you go to Hell.
If you defy God by saying, “I will not worship Him,” you go to Hell.
If you profess belief in God, but do not love your neighbor as yourself, you go to Hell.
If you profess belief in God, but do not repent of your sins you go to Hell.

According to Swedenborg, those who sincerely follow their religion and demonstrate good will charity to others will be able to partake in the joys of Heaven, i.e. they will recognize the Lord as Lord. The advantage of the Christian religion is that its truth fully illuminates and makes known the Divine Love and Wisdom of the Lord making victory over sin easier.

There will be no one married to another, this is made clear in scripture. What our new bodies are like would be anyone's guess, other than they will be flesh, we will eat food and drink liquids, Jesus Himself will serve our first meal. There will not be equal rewards, we will all be loved by God equally. There probably will not be equal responsibilities, I take this from a parable. Yes because we are in a sinless state we will see God and worship in His presence. Remember we will live forever, so your 5 google is as nothing.

So does this mean there are shitters in heaven? what about toilet paper or does jesus just rough it? What color do you think the toilets will be? who manages the plumbing? Also does jesus eat because if so that means whoever is in charge of plumbing maintenance will be literally taking his shit.
