Just by giving into the size of the Gate to heaven opens the question to the existence of God! by your own words...have you not seen the pics of the universe vis the latest Hubble, and other astronomy views of the Universe???every time man tries to define how old the universe is they find it is much larger and older than they imagined...that is the just the beginning of what our understanding of God will be when we are in Heaven... God grandeur is beyond our understanding...you do not need to believe in God...just that you do to enter Heaven! If by chance you can make your Heaven here on earth without harm...Enjoy!
Christ said, the Kingdom of God is at hand.
I pondered that for a long, long time. I wondered how this could be. Look at the world. It is full of sin, how could the Kingdom of God be at hand?
I found that when you can find peace amongst all this chaos, God is with you and the Kingdom of God is at hand. I found that when I remove the sin from my life and find a little more righteousness each day, the Kingdom of God is at hand. I found that if I look at the world, I will see good and evil, but if I look at myself then the kingdom of God is at hand. And most importantly, I found that when I forgive myself and others, the Kingdom of God is at hand.
Christ gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit with his promise that the Kingdom of God is at hand. When I found this gift, I found Love and I found a taste of Heaven. I found that promise Christ gave us, the Kingdom of God is truly at hand.
