LOL. All the time.
Do you honestly think that Nicolaas and dj2becker do more good than harm with regard to bringing people to Christ? They are mere caricatures with no substance behind what they present. If I had never encountered Christianity and all I knew about it was what I could gleam from these two, I wouldn't give it any serious consideration at all. I would have a firm bias planted against the faith which would make all future attempts at showing me the way that much less likely to succeed.
Suppose you had never encountered Christianity and all you knew about it was what you learned during a chat with Fred Phelps. Would you be attracted or repulsed from the faith?
Did God send Fred Phelps to preach the Gospel? While you'd say that he doesn't really represent true Christianity, I'd say that dj2 and Nicolaas don't either. Those who go about spreading the Word on behalf of God take on an enormous responsibility, and the nonsense that those two post on here is indicative of irresponsibility.

I tried looking in my pocket but I forgot it.I looked in my shoe but all I found was my foot.I asked a man walking down the road and he pointed to the sky."How do I get up there"I asked."I don't know"he replied.So I got a ladder but it wasn't long enough.I tried jumping up really high but all I found was a sore foot as I forgot to put my shoe back on.Where is heaven....someone please explain.Also can you go surfing there?

1 Cor 1:20-29
20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
22For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;
23but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,
24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
27But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;
28and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,
29that no flesh should glory in His presence.

I'm going to sign on for a hang-gliding course this very minute! I can't wait to be in heaven...
What is meant is Paradise. It is not yet avaliable. So it is nowhere right now.
God will create a "new heavens and a new earth", but this is still future.

My advice;
1, load your pockets with some holy TNT
2, leave your shoe on, the forum started to stink
3, hit that man with the ladder; ever since you asked him his finger
never stopped pointing at the sky
4, light TNT fuse
5, BOOM, fastest way to reach your eternal destination
6, send us a postcard
7, singed postcard = hell, postcard in 1 piece = heaven
Best of luck buddy.

Not much (except maybe a tad too much impatience).
What you did just now was to talk to God as a person, communed with Him. That's what Heaven is all about - only infinitely more magnified (a perfect communion with God).
And God was not silent - He sent Nicolaas and me, didn't He? 🙂
Originally posted by AThousandYoung[Walter Brennan voice] Well, you see, it's like this. A long time ago, God gave Man a Book. That Book is known today as the Bible and if you take the time to read that book, everything you need to know will be revealed to you. [/Walter Brennan voice]
