Dont be dishonest and disagree..........death is an illusion and the church sells death to frighten the people.
You illusionists just crack me up!! 😵 (No pun intended)

When my subscription comes up for renewal, I may take a break from RHP......so your wish shall come true in good time.
I still dont know what your stand is on God and this existence we all are experiencing together
Do you know why you are alive?
Do you know what your purpose is?
How did everything come to be?
Why do we suffer in this world? ...[text shortened]... you not looked at Vedanta Sutra?
If yes, do you accept and follow?
What is your stand Sir?
=====================================
I still dont know what your stand is on God and this existence we all are experiencing together
=================================
God had mercy on me and gave me the ability to believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God.
He had mercy on me and opened my heart and my spiritual eyes and I receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
=========================
Do you know why you are alive?
==========================
To "build" an entity called New Jerusalem which is the mingling of God and man, the living eternal temple of the Triune God for God's expression and man's enjoyment.
I exist for the building up of the New Jerusalem symbolically depicted in the 21rst and 22nd chapter of the book of Revelation in the Bible.
That is why my heart beats. That is why I breath. That is why I was born and came into existence - for New Jerusalem.
Praise God!
======================
Do you know what your purpose is?
========================
To me a partaker of the divine nature in my Redeemer Jesus Christ for the mingling and blending of God and man, through God's love and our enjoyment.
======================
How did everything come to be?
========================
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Gen. 1:1)
He created all things for His eternal purpose to have sons - partakers of the divine nature for His expression in man and man's enjoyment.
======================
Why do we suffer in this world?
=======================
Temporarily, there is another will in the universe in opposition to the will of God.
The emergence of that additional will is the cause of all the suffering.
One day that additional will will be destroyed and only the will of God will prevail for eternity.
===================
Has science become God?
====================
To some people science has become an idol. It has not replaced God to me.
It has its place though. And I do not despise it.
==============================
Do you welcome disease old age and death?
===============================
No. But in disease, old age and even in death, I intend to continue to fellowship and enjoy Christ my Savior.
I only want to enjoy God through these things. Of course I do not look for them. For they will come, probably, of their own accord.
My hope that each will only go to encrease my enjoyment of Christ.
==============================
Is there knowledge anywhere to give us these answers?
================================
The word of God - the Bible. But we have to open ourselves. And we have to be forgiven of our sins.
Our sins have made a separation between us and God. But God has made provision for that obstacle in the redemption of Christ.
=======================
If no, have you not looked at Vedanta Sutra?
========================
Not much.
The living testimony of Jesus Christ occupies most of my exploration time. I simply hardly have enough time to explore all the unsearchable riches of Christ.
And there is no one in the books of eastern religions that can compare or compete with what Jesus Christ is.
There may be some good wisdom there. But no one is like Jesus Christ. No one.
He not simply spoke wisdom. He demonstrated victory over sin and death.

Well, I find you asking me this - despite me having posted on this very topic perhaps 150 times within the last 2-3 weeks, on this forum - rather unsuprisingly reveals you to be oblivious yet again.

Drop it. People change their minds on a minute by minute basis. Are you saying Vishva is exempt from this trait?

Originally posted by AgergWell our relations with eachother (here on the net) are linear, so I couldn't really elaborate any furthur.

Unfortunately my reply is the boring: "Go inside and find the non-linear universe by yourself."

Heck, I almost feel like championing Vishva as a voice of truth on this forum. You've repeated your point 3 times now. I get it.
But still...drop it
(but you have right of reply,of course)
Originally posted by vishvahetuSorry to tell ya this but there is only one shot at this old life.
The quote " the wages of sin is death" keeps coming up in this forum.
So what does this mean?
We are a spiritual being in the machine, and we are eternal by our very nature, so when we dont take to spiritual living, we stop spiritual progress and only have to take re-birth in this world again and again.
Sin means error, and when we sin it keeps ...[text shortened]... n the spiritual world.
It is clear now that there is actually no death at all for the soul.
Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV)
27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
Once it is over, it is over, no coming back to see if you can get it right.
