whoever can give us hope, believe in that. it doesn't matter how you get there, just get there!
Personally, i still believe heaven is within us. it's like hiding the thimble. mother puts it right in front of us (obvious) and asks us to go look for itπ now... here we go! π΅ ...π΅...π΄...wait until we get back to mother! the thimble we were looking for was there all along.π we're still figuring it out

Where DO you get this "i'm not an angel" vrap? I never said I was such a thing. We are above the angels.
Originally posted by dragonstarr369 that's exactly what i mean! who's to say that your religion is right and all others are wrong? i'm beginning to think that all religon is wrong. people say that heaven is a state of mind, and not a place you go. if you have heaven in your heart, you're already in heaven. that state of bliss is an empirical experience that transcend raace creed color it's all personality worship!
i think becoming agnostic is the righteous way to be.
The Bible teaches us that "God is love." And if you don't believe it, He'll send you to Hell for an eternity!!! (I know that doesn't make any sense, but there are plausible readings of the Holy Bible that simultaneously teach both of those things.)
Originally posted by dragonstarr369 now what are you, an angel? you can't be a messenger, and if you were one, you can't speak for the masses, just those who believe in your god!
He answered you question and you have to be rude to him?

This is why God chose him over you
For he says to Moses,
"I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

So you're gay and you're here to teach us what real love is?
What's that ? Is it to seek romance, marriage, and pretended procreation with someone of the same sex?
Originally posted by gaychessplayer I would never claim to know exactly what "real" love is, but it's pretty safe to say that it [b]does not involve torturing people for an eternity.
I'll surmise that you've never experienced gay sex, but that doesn't seem to stop you from being an expert on the subject. Curious, indeed...[/b]
God doesn't torture the people. That would be Satan.
But it is a persons choice to accept or reject the gift of Salvation, which is in Christ.
