I just wanted to know what does everyone think happens to you when you die, I believe Heaven being with God and Jesus Christ as written in the Bible.

Option #3.

Something else.

i was born, i live, i will die. the best i can hope for is a good run at it. oh, btw, interesting how heaven and hell are 2 different options. i c we have some optimists in the crowd.

Something else

I was forced to choose "something else" because my honest answer to the question is: "I don't know."

Im going in a box, and then going to rot over a period of years.

I think re-incarnation

I am prepared to be with the Lord.

I will see you there, happy to have another believer some where on here. I go to a very good christian message board sometimes, but here people need the word more...

LOL. "the word"
HAHAHAHAHAHA

Now Overdose....*narrows eyes* lol.

Minister....I believe that we have been given an extrodinary opportunity to whitness here at AFN.

I think God led me here for a reason.

Yeah "word" to your mom.

On the question - my answer would be - it's impossible to know. Any view is a pure guess.

I do strongly believe in the afterlife, but I can't vote for either Heaven or Hell because I don't know where I'll end up.
It's not that I'm doubtful, just that I don't know.

The creator led me here for a reason as well......and he doesn't care if we are all not Christians.....Creator is not that petty.

And i picked something else....I think we might return to the circle.

jerejerebinks, I believe you are right. I will definately be posting here plenty more.

yay! More laughs to come!

What's so funny Overdose? I keep seeing you say this...but I cant come up with a reason, other than youre being obnoxious to someone who chooses to believe in God.

I hope you can change my mind.

You oversimplify things, Jere. No one is faulting minister for believing in God. We are faulting him because he is a closed-minded twit.

This particular discussion had nothing to do with anything that could have anything to do with being closeminded.

He was merely providing my post a compliment. Complimenting something you agree with is hardly being closeminded.

You've lost me. You say that OD is faulting minister for believing in God. Then suddenly, you seem to change your mind at once and say that that topic is not relevant to what we're talking about, even though it is. :confused:

Borg your missing the point. What I'm saying is....all Minister's point said was that he agreed with me. Then OD said the laughing crap. Even if it wasnt rude and obnoxious to post such a thing, what relevance would it have had in the first place to his post in this thread?

My laughing has just as much relevance as what Minster says. Look, all he does for the most part, is post quotes from the Bible. He posts quotes from the Bible, to try and get people who don’t believe in the Bible, to “convert” to Christianity. Make sense? No. Hell if I care what the Bible says. So before he posts quotes from the Bible, maybe he should convince us to actually believe in the Bible. Because until then, his quotes and sayings from the Bible are meaningless and useless.

The bible brings revelations by itself, everything I could ever hope to get across is in there...

Thanks for proving my point.

HAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA

So why do you fail so miserably to make any points?

But... but... we don't understand the bible... remember, we godless heathens can't!

Oh yes I forgot - you have to buy into it for no good reason, only then do you get the reason.

Sounds like a salesman that says I will only tell you the price after you buy it.

Were I lost, friendless, insecure, or in prison I might consider a religion to screw them out of something.

Ok...so he should make you believe in something to make you want to read it?

Let me ask you something...

How in the world are you going to know whats in it to believe if he doesnt quote from it?

Give Me A Break!

To believe you first must thirst for the knowledge and be willing to accept the truth.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments." Luke 16:23

I think almost everybody has a thirst for knowledge.

What you really meant to say is

"To believe you must have a thirst to hang your hat on something no matter what and be willing to accept what other people tell you"

Maybe God sent you the truth thru me and you were not thirsty.



"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
---------------------------------------------------------
Wouldn't it have been better if Christ just came and visited with each of us explaining about sin rather than using a book that could be questioned by the intelligence God gave us.



"And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments." Luke 16:23

Fine, now we are going to take our eyes with us to Heaven.
Taken I guess from our rotting corpse. :rolleyes:

It's funny how hard you guys try to ridicule and persecute christian beliefs. We follow the bible, it's not that hard to understand. If you are a christian you believe Christ's words.

I speak against all man made religions.

so you speak out against all man made religions.....without God there would be no religions.

Did you ever think that speaking out against religions may be speaking out against God.....Not meant to offend, just wondered.

I won't believe in any of it, because he gives me no reason to believe in the parts he does quote.

NO mininster, without man their is no religions. Invented ways to worship. If there were no God, men could still have religions.

Why would a Supreme Being need religions to exist? I feel that he would be insulted by mans futile attempt to reach him through the conflict which has been caused by religions.
I am not offended in any way as I hope I do not offend. I have studied man and his religions for decades. I enjoy most of the discussions.

I voted for "something else" as no one knows for sure.

Why is it funny?

Ridicule - sure, persecute - hardly.

It's called having a reasoned opinion. You can't really say that somebody who questions your mostly crack pot exclusive belief set is strange. Why does questioning you upset you so much? Perhaps it is because you have a hard time believing much of it yourself. Is rocking the edifice uncomfortable?

There is no question that I understand that you believe "Christs" words. What I don't understand is why you believe things that are patently off the wall and as you have shown - contradictory, unreliable and impssible to defend in any reasonable manner.

If you want to get a picture of what Heaven is going to be like based on Christian description - watch the Star Trek episode 'The Return of the Arcons'

Anything said on here could not shake my faith, My faith is rooted in the foundation of the rock. You providing me with your comments does not upset me at all, I enjoy all the comments, even when there not quite nice to me.


"And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." Matthew 10:38

You are quite the Martyr :rolleyes:

Ok, can I give a little constructive criticism here?

I don't mean to pick on you but, when you are trying to educate people on your stance, using belittling Bible verses isn't going to win people over. If you truly follow Christ, IMO, you would rise above any criticism from others as your verse suggests.

That verse belittles no one, it was Jesus speaking in that verse.

Jesus wept...how clueless can you be?

His constructive comment was well placed. He wasn't saying the verse itself is belittling - he said you were. Different thing mate.

If taken that way, all my apologies, it was not meant to belittle any one.
