Genesis 22:17 ►
New International Version
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
Obviously Yahweh has no idea how our Universe is. His Universe is in the Middle East.
Yea I don't meet the requirements for your version of Heaven. So no I won't be going there and wouldn't want to anyways. I will enjoy my finite existence in learning what I can about this Universe and taking pictures of the cosmos to share with my family down the road. Eventually I'll go back to like I was before I was born.
You have no proof of this Heaven besides the Bible that was written by primitive people that had no clue what was going on in the world. I give them credit for trying though with what they had.
Refer to bold answer to CPK001
My version of Heaven you say? When did I ever claim that it was my version? In my knowledge not everybody wants to go to Heaven for some strange reason yet they also do not want to go to Hell either. All you want is to not get punished for your sins.
I tell you the truth, there is no middle ground here. You will either get punished for all eternity for serving yourself and saying get lost to God or you will get to be with your LORD and Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven.
Oh and if you really want to go down that path, my earliest ever conceivable memory is before I even existed at the very beginning of it all. I'm referring to before the Universe was created, I did not exist yet I know what I saw.
How do I know the timeline? I remember from the very start what seemed like moments going through time even though it did not exist. You want to know what I conceivably saw even though I was not there?
Absolute and complete, utter darkness...black. I could also describe the feeling even though I never existed.
Stand in a complete dark room, not thinking, breathing or moving. Feel absolutely nothing like you weren't even there. That is what it is like to not exist. So those who do are not born as of yet? I know what they conceivably see even though they are not even in the womb as of yet.
You are also right in saying that the Bible was written by primitive people. Moses was not much of a speaker yet God chose him to lead the Israelite's out of slavery. God chose Peter even though he would deny Jesus 3 times. Judas would betray him. God chose what was weak and pitiful in this world to shame the strong.
Do you even know that Paul was once Saul, murdering Christians? Yet all of these people had one thing in common, they all saw the glory of God first hand. They wrote down what they saw and we're reading their testimony.
