If you think about it, what could be more boring and unsatisfying than an eternity sitting around the throne and singing praises. For eternity! That, too, would be a form of hell.

Yes! I've always thought eternal life sounded really exhausting. Tho what I think I would like, would be to be able to come back for a brief visit, maybe every five years or so and probably in invisible form, just to see what was going on. Curiosity being a major motivating characteristic for me. But no, I don't believe in any form of afterlife and wouldn't care to.
IтАЩll let you know. Sounds pretty awesome to me. Remember the feeling you had on your very best day? Like hitting the grand slam to win the championship? ThatтАЩs the feeling it will feel like, 24/7 every minute. Loving God and my people and others forever? IтАЩm in. ЁЯТХ Sorry your life has been so sucky that you canтАЩt imagine a perfect
Funny you should mention that. Actually, my life has gone the way I wanted it to:; exciting and fulfilling. That's why I can't imagine heaven as a perfect scenario. And, sorry, "imagine" i'm afraid, is the operative word here.
Laughter is good. Satan is not. My accountability is just fine. HowтАЩs your judgment of others? You can laugh & be sarcastic as much as you want. I only have love for you, truly. I hope you see how God sees you soon because He couldnтАЩt love you more. ЁЯШЗ ЁЯТХ
Same peace to you. I wasnтАЩt saying youтАЩre in hell. I donтАЩt believe itтАЩs one or the other. God has a plan after we die. IтАЩm not a believer just to be part of that plan. ThereтАЩs support & love right here on earth that remains unchanged no matter what. Too much here divides us. IтАЩm hoping one day we all can live without the judgment & sorrows of this crazy place. Best wishes to you for a long healthy life. ЁЯТХ
The irony of you saying тАЬtoo much here divides usтАЭ and тАЬIтАЩm hoping one day we can all live without the judgementтАЭ and yetтАжyour original comment included the line тАЬSorry your life has been so sucky that you canтАЩt imagine a perfect scenario like heaven. I can.тАЭ That is a divisive statement that drips in judgement, implicating youтАЩre better off because of your beliefs. ItтАЩs the hypocrisy for me. Yikes.
People are full of messiness & sin. God is not. Hypocrisy is seen because humans arenтАЩt perfect. I never will be. You never will be. Only Jesus was. I hope you take the time to know Him & donтАЩt put all your faith in people. ThatтАЩs why churches can fail. They are run by people, as much as God leads them. I know my heart and God knows my intentions. I only have to answer to Him.
Amber, how do you know? Really KNOWS?! You donтАЩt. God has infinite powers & has a sense of humor too. If HE told me to go tell someone what I saw, IтАЩd do it. IтАЩm so grateful to my God, IтАЩd do that, no question. ThereтАЩs no problems with the тАЬ planтАЭ, the only problems are people that lack faith. They see what the world shows them. IтАЩve had a type of тАШknowing there was moreтАЩ, from childhood. Not from indoctrination either. My mom never talked positive about тАЬ religionтАЭ and more annoyed that I was curious.
God has a sense of humor? I guess he thought it was hilarious when he watched Israel blow up 38,000 Gazans...and when he tortured my mother for years before he killed her.
God is sad for everything we are sad about. There have been deaths on both sides of the Israel war. The narrative we see lately demonizes Israel but if you get your info. from uncensored news, and look at the real history, Israel has fed Gaza in the past & allowed shipments essential for them. The same cannot be said for Gaza. There is an approved narrative on mainstream, just like the Covid mess, that doesnтАЩt allow truth to easily be seen. ThatтАЩs why I like Substack.
IтАЩm sorry about your mother but God didnтАЩt wish that on her. I donтАЩt know the circumstances but this world is full of pain & suffering. We were never meant to walk it alone, without His help. I watched my best friend die at the hands of a narcissist husband & hospital protocols that allowed her to suffer far too long before she passed. I wouldnтАЩt have believed itтАЩs possible in modern times to allow this. The hospital finally stepped in & eased her physical pain. ( husband was not allowing pain meds as P.O.A.) ЁЯЩИ
IтАЩm truly sorry about your mom. The death of a mom is the worst heartbreak. ЁЯТХ
How do you really KNOW? You donтАЩt period. I have had many believers in my family die and guess what none of them have reported back on the experience.
Sorry for all your losses. I grew up going to funerals a lot too. ItтАЩs a lot harder on people left behind. I was talking about after we both pass away & I somehow get to let non-believers know.
I think God will have Mercy & Grace for some in certain circumstances. I just know the best is yet to come. тЬМЁЯП╝ЁЯТХ
Firstly, IтАЩm grownтАжthis is not my remembrance of childhood. Interesting concept that you will be able to communicate with non believers who will be in hell?!?!? ThatтАЩs one I have never heard. I appreciate your condolences, but itтАЩs really not necessary. New evangelical nightmare unlocked thoughтАжgoing to hell and continuing to receive nagging information from believers in heaven. ItтАЩs exhausting, really, the amount of pretend scenarios people create. Anyway, peace to youтАжhere and now.

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes would see
When Your face is before me
I can only imagine
Yeah
Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus
Or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees, will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine
Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus
Or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?

I can only imagine, yeah-yeah
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine

Whatever works for you is just fine.
Amen
