Suppose you were to die right now. Your spirit ascends past cloud and sky and space and within moments you are before the Pearly Gates. You, who wielded the â??black artsâ?Â

It's in the nature of awareness to progress towards new realms and experiences. Only change is constant.

But boring serious talk aside, of course I would bow before my Dark Lord, duh. :)

Here is a hypothetical question.

Pretend souls exist. Souls are immortal.
Pretend humans exist. Humans are mortal.

Does the soul have the human?
Or does the human have the soul?

To realise that you are the soul, is the entrance to the kingdom of heaven. Read the teachings of Jesus without the dogmas attached to them, and the other gnostic bibles that didn't make it into the "official".

To pretend that the human has the soul, is the greatest sin and one is already is in hell (on earth). How can something mortal ever be a container for something immortal? Is that not totally absurd?

"When you come to know yourselves... you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty." (Thomas-3)

If Christianity is right, all the cool people are in hell. ;)

But seriously, if I knew with 100% certainty that Christianity is right, I would still not worship their god or accept their Jesus. I do not support rapists and mass murderers no matter how high up they may be.

"Some say that heaven is hell.
Some say that hell is heaven."

Personally, I think Christianity is full of shit. And not the kind that can fertilize anything, either.

Well if thats the way it is, then thats the way it is. I wouldn't look forward to burning in a firely lake the rest of time. But I was given free will and if that was the result of my choices then I would have to except that. As long as I did what I thought was right then I wouldn't have any regrets.

i regret as a christian witch i dont go to church much however i believe hell is the simplicty of negativity that exists filled with such things as fear ect. flames who cares actually kind of boring. what i fear is watching the matrix where such a negativity exists that a force in hell cloans me uses me as a source of juice energy at the same time having no purpose i hope at least it would be a dream world as such as the matrix however meaningliss that hell would provide a life with no purpose other then a supply of energy being cloaned to produce enough juice for those in hell.

that is a fear of mine as that is my understanding of hell. ive always believed its filled with negativity. if you all choose to go to hell best to you i know where my path lies.

if im wrong then mabby hell is a blissed place with as the christians say with burning flames.

i take chances every day of my life. life is like a gamble as you cross a road, it takes one time to choose wrong. no more chances.

Curse more frequently than I normally bother with and question divine morality. Every once in a great while, arguing with biblical Yahweh works.

The more I progress through some private studies of late the more I'm intrigued by the JOS correspondence of Yahweh to Enlil. I can't help but think this is a misinformed, not to mention misguided attempt to tie together two separate belief systems which have more in contrast than in common.

That's beside the point, I just thought I'd mention it since the name Yahweh came up.

I am pleased with the answers I am getting despite a few straying away from the track.

Remember: All of your beleifs and how you feel things should be have gone out the window in this scenario. In this scenario you are where you are - it's more of a "what now?" situation than anything else.

i can respect that about right know scenario but could you give me the truth pill and a cell phone to get out of the matrix ive studdied it a great deal and i am in hell and know in the matrix. with all of humanity including everyone on the internet and espessially on this site i am still being used as a sorce of juice for hell. seems as if you tend to distinguish the actual hell from reality. i realize some live there lives in denial i found the truth that we are in the matrix and in hell.

by the way does anyone have a truth pill and a cell phone i no myself i could use one. i would recomend getting them from the above poster he seems wise enough to obtain them.

ya reality sucks when you cant prove if your in the matrix allready. there is no escaping reason deny it if you choose and live within the lie.

the matrix is the one thing unprovable live in the here and know good choice of words

so, hypothetically you think church rules and regulatations can over ride God's final judgement of His creations?

don't feel bad, a lot of christians make that mistake to.

Original post: hunterwitch_bloodpact

personally

i put all gods and goddesses in questioning

mainly in the act that perhaps there isnt such a being or beings

but if that were true then it would make everything null

that we our selves believed

but back to the question at hand

i dunno really

me personally believe that what ever u believe in u will go to that heaven/hell,val halla,etc,etc

the only gates that someone would go through would be out of your body when u die which means u should have a choice of places depending on your faiths

so which in turn makes the good and evil deeds thing for monotheism null along with countless other beliefs at which hold the same rules

it makes more logical since that u have a choice to go were u wish

other wise it would be as one would consider it

a Utopian world

and a bleak one at that

that 1 reason why i dont really care for monotheism

in a way the rules kinda want u to make it a utopian society

but that's just me

no insult intended, your theoretical situation was an issue i had serious struggles with at the beginning of my conversion, i had a dream that cleared it up for me, your theory is basing the guarantee to heaven in human terms established generations after even, Christ was alive, so how can any human know the mind of a god?

like He asked in my dream..."who can judge my creations but me?"

even if hypothetically, people are passing judgement on people that should only be a god's right knowing that heart more so than any human is capable of, i have faith in my Lord, not the pearly gates, conceived ideals about heaven/hell, any priest or any other mere human struggling through this world no different than i am.

what if the christian idealogy of heaven and hell was correct, i don't think much would change, God would look into the heart of the person standing before Him and judge at that time, where does this saint peter come from?

What I would do. I would say ah fuck them. I would rather be in hell, than in a Heaven full of hypocrites. I would find Satan and I would say to him. I understand your problem and why you rebelled now, good man, you have my support. I mean seriously, if all it would take to make it into Heaven if you had been a cruel bastard all your life was to repent at the end, while if one is kind and live, well basically like the Bible tell pepole to live but following a different faith you are sent to hell. Then the whole system with Heaven would be fucked up, and I rather stay in hell, or even better find a way to crawl back to my earthly life.

heres my thing

if your god doesn't judge in 1 similar belief

but does in another but the systems the same

wouldn't it cause u to question the basis of the beliefs itself

and to go further on

just that in a whole would make your god only 1 and not 2 because as a whole

your god is both "good and evil" at the same time

then the idea of "satan" would be null

because Christianity and Catholicism both use the same system of belife but the rules vary in very small places

so in turn would make the 1 single factor

your "god"

the 1 and only "good and evil"

and the being "satan null

u see that's why i personally would like to rid of monotheism

to much bullshit just so they have some thing to believe in

hell even those who study it even belief int he bullshit

no evidence + beliefs =bullshit

bullshit + beliefs = denial

denial + bullshit = fear

fear + bullshit + denial + beliefs + no evidence = controversy

controversy +bullshit + beliefs + fear + no evidence x denial = complete and utter avoidance of the subject

Half of humans can't even find their own country on a globe. So i'm not particularly worried about their superstitions & cults (aka religions). Humans are a quasi-sentient species, don't get too caught up in following the herd.

But just going with the hypothetical situation you describe... I'd tell god that he needs to grow up.

As for torment & suffering... what can truly cause torment & suffering? hint: it's not your environment. one's capacity for bliss is in fact independent of the events & sensations that surround a person. Feeling despair over something as simple as eternal fire & torture, is of no consequence or interest to the enlightened. Which, properly understood, would render a hellfire-christian-god kinda petty & impotent.

Why should I go to hell? Why should I go to heaven? I'd say, that while I am upon the Earth now, I've experienced both throughout my life already. LOL After I die, maybe I should just stay on Earth and go see all of the places that I've missed due to not having the money to go see them? Then I'll go wherever after that. So why not say, the hell with both and go wherever I want to? Does it say anywhere that I can't? LOL Will someone just, arbitrarily appear after I die to take me to heaven or hell and force me to choose or go to one or the other? As for the silly pearly gates. Seriously. Does anyone actually know, what a pearl is? As far as I can remember, a pearl basically is a foreign object that had entered into the oyster. Over time, it forms a hardened pearl which really is formed to protect the oyster from harm. Kind of like an insect bite that we'd get that would harm us if our body wouldn't form a kind of protective layer around the bite, so the poison from it that would enter into our blood stream wouldn't make us die. It's kind of like a tumor if anything. So basically, what do we have then that a pearl is? In knowing what I told you here, it's really not a treasure, it's actually nothing at all! It's beautiful but it's not as beautiful as say, a gemstone, crystal or love that we can receive as well as give to another that we love.

To not continue my ramblings, unless someone forces me to make a decision as to where I'm suppose to go, I'm not going there unless I want to! LOL Maybe, I'll just pay both of them a visit to say hello. For God, I'll offer him and his angels angel food cakes. As for the Devil, a good brand of cigars and Devil food cake. Need I say anymore or shall I stop already? LOL
