Discussing Heaven and Hell

     None of us knows for sure what awaits us on the other side, however, the bible taken in it's entirety gives us a glimpse. Humanity is so dense that God had to teach us the truth over time. Genesis gives us sin and death, our relationship with God and each other. Moses gives us the law and time gives us the lesson that no on can keep it. The law taught that forgiveness for sin was death, and the Levites killed an animal for Israel's sins. This taught us the concept of Jesus, dying on the cross for our sins. Which was the plan from the beginning, even before the Earth was made.
     We understand that Heaven is a timeless place. God knows time from beginning to end. When we die we escape time, and reside in heaven which is timeless. God does not condemn us to hell or allow us in heaven, we choose our fate. You can choose to love God and what he stands for or reject him to walk your own way. I must warn you that God is truth. He created the heavens, the physical world, and how they operate. A rejection of God, is a rejection of truth itself. When we go before God, we see the truth as it really is. Every misdead, every sin, every time we failed to help someone, etc. We cannot bare this and live. We cannot remain in God's presence in fear of the truth. So we cast ourselves out of heaven into a place populated with souls of evil people. We share our place with murderers and rapists, with no love, kindness, truth, or hope.
     We need Jesus in order to be forgiven. To chose to be a child of God. To believe in truth, and his values. So that when the choice comes we will want to be in this loving family. The premise that god is an angry child with a magnifier glass burning ants because he can is completely off. God has his hands open to us all our lives, waiting for us to accept Jesus, so our sins become no more, and we become family. If we fail in this, we are judged by the harshest judge of all, our own truth.
