Heaven...yes (well, eventually)
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

This world is not my home, I'm just a travelin through.......

The angels beckon me to God's celestial shore and I can't feel at home in this world anymore. :o)

Oh Lord you know, I have no friend like you.
If heaven's not my home then Lord what would I do.

Oh, by the way, I found all kinds of mistakes in the song I sent you. Sounds much better now.

All I wanted to know is if Judas was going to heaven or hell and I landed on this site....there aren't enough hours in the day to get all the reading and learning in. I am 61 and have been a Christian since I was a little girl and I can honestly say I have never been so excited about being saved!

Isn't it odd that Jesus told Judas (at the last supper) to do what he had to do quickly, but did not warn him about his risking hell if he did?  He also failed to warn Adam, Eve, Cain, and gobs of other people about the possibility of their going to hell in consequence of their sins.  That's quite a lapse if hell really existed/exists, and if God really sends people there.  No, Jesus said that if He were lifted up, He would draw (drag) ALL men to Himself.  In the end of time (it's in I Corinthians) Jesus will hand the Kingdom over to His Father, who will then become All in all.  That can't happen if anyone is still dead and/or in hell.  In Genesis 1:1 we read that God made the heaven and the earth.  I guess hell was left out or God didn't make it

Hell is based on:

Bad theology, mostly borrowed from pagan sources.
Bad translation, mostly caused by bad theology, but there are good translations.
Scary trappings - imagination and images - the badly translated "hell" must be fleshed out.
Fiction - Dante, Milton, Mary K. Baxter - legends, epic poems, outright fraud.  With Dante we come full circle to the pagan.

Hi I'm Ben, 43, from Melbourne Australia.
Baptised with fire n spirit last year when God poured out his grace, love and forgiveness on me - praise the Lord - after a previous life of unbelief and scoffing at anything remotely Christian.
Now repenting, God willing.
Quite a humbling surprise to discover almost everything you think you know is wrong!

Reminded of TS Eliot's poem Journey of the Magi:
We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,
But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,
With an alien people clutching their gods.

I am Bob (He1MyHeart) currently in Lakeland,Florida. That is midway between Tampa and Orlando.
My personal website is www.gentletouchcreationsministries.com on it are several teachings and over 60 inspirational poems. They are not your usual poems as they were given by the Spirit of Prophecy as I never was inclined to poetry until filled with the Holy Ghost back in 1976. Many of the poems contain understandings or revelation missed by just a casual reader of the scriptures.

I enjoy sharing the truths that the Holy Spirit has deposited in my heart. Feel free to contact me if you like to discuss the things of God. I will listen to anyone's opinion or revelation and share mine as well but I won't argue or debate since that helps no one.  :dsunny: :HeartThrob: :dsunny:

Hello, everyone.  I'm Frank and I currently live in the DFW area of Texas. 

I was recently impressed to pray for a brother that he would be granted entrance into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.  While searching for the verse, I found an article on this site.  Pleasant surprise.
