has started a new topic: I finally understand!

No I have learned it is better to go to the quick links and chat there

Just responded to it.

has started a new topic: Truth & Wisdom

Finally! We got our new computer up and running. YEA!

thank you

Tom, go to quick links and check unread posts. You’ll find where the old timers are sharing about their lives.

thank you for letting me know...

Tom, the chat isn’t used in part becuase many oldtimers prefer to converse in longer format (on the forums).

hi Cathy...nice to see you here

chat check in - nobody here (sigh)

hello Peni

Hello everyone. I’ll be checking in for live chats too.

hi Cathy...just saying hello and wishing you well

PS. That invite is for ANY forum member

Okay...if you read this and like the idea of "meeting" me here to chat leave a date and time when you think you may be here and I’ll strive to be here at that date/time too.

hiya friends anybody seeing this?

hiya cathy

Thank you, you too

Good, it’s nice to have some new people on the forum

have a wonderful day...Papa bless you

I look forward to meeting as many members as I can and sharing with all

You’re welcome. Have a good time with your wife.

well Cathy my wifey is about to arrive and we are going out...so once again thank you spending this time with me today

I can understand that and God does want a relationship with us

my opinion anyway

I like the "friend" and have a "relationship" with The Holy Trinity concept better than to "serve"

Maybe you could ask questions on the forum threads and see what others say

LOL me neitherr

or a slave must serve his master as someone looked down upon

I don’t know enough about theology to have all the answers

I can serve my neighbor by doing an act of kindness for him

I think He means He wants us to choose to serve Him, not do it out of only duty

there are various definitions of serve so we need to select the appropriate one

We find out a lot about His will in the Bible

In the movie Jesus says "I don’t wasnt slaves...I want friends"

I don’t think it’s easy to define except to say we want to serve Him and do His will

define "serve"

God wants people who love and serve Him

Being a good person is a good aim but it isn’t enough to get you into Heaven

then that is how YOU are.

if you are a good person by which I mean you do and say things that do more good than harm to the universe around you

hmmm am trying to put it into words

I guess it depends how you define "goodness of heart"

I mean we all fall by the wayside but I know that GOD bases us on our overall goodness of heart

People often don’t know what our actions truly are

Sometimes and sometimes not

don’t our actions reflect whats in our hearts

Varied blessing might sound like levels but I don’t think it’s a hierarchy

God sees our hearts more than just our actions though

same thing

I don’t think I’ve heard it described as levels before

exactly

What I’ve heard is that people in Heaven may be more blessed depending on how they have behaved

some beliefs are that there are various "levels" of heavens

I think Hell is full of people who would rather go their own way than God’s

I guess we shall see

I don’t think Hitler is in Heaven but we can’t rule it out

We are all sinners and "there but for the grace of God go I"

so then if Hitler is in Heaven then WHO goes to hell and for doing what?

Thank you

I respect your opinion

This topic is okay for me

I agree that wouldn’t be fair but God will accept anyone who truly repents

hope this not an unpleasant topic for you

compared to such heinous atrocity and mass genocide

even if he did repent...I just don’t know if it would have been just and fair for God to forgive and allow entry into Heaven in terms of how others have lived their lives striving so hard to be good

Sometimes people are too far gone to be able to let reality in

Only if he repented at the last minute and I don’t think he would have

me too

I doubt that Hitler is in heaven

and?

I did read that post

did you read that post by a newbie who said that she now knows that Hitler is in Heaven? What are your thought son that?

yes

it’s good to be spiritually ready when you die

i hope there are no unpleasant surprises LOL

at this point in my life I’d like to be as spirtually ready and knowing as much accurate truth for what awaits me after this earthly bodily life

I hope you get a lot out of it

perhaps it is...all I want is accuracy and to be able to read and understand it better for whatever truth I can extract from it

Newer versions are easier to read but I believe they’re not as accurate

The King James can be hard to read even though I think it’s the most accurate

me neither...yet

I looked it up and it sounds interesting but I don’t know how good it is

original Bible can be rather difficult to read

ok

I’m getting my copy from Amazon

do a search "The Mirror Bible"

I use Google
