The Apostle Paul spent some personal time with the Resurrected Jesus...And Paul says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord...And then Paul seems to voluntarily get himself into situations where people want to kill him, and they try often enough...Almost like he was suicidal...
When someone is willing to get his head bashed in so he can get to heaven as quickly as possible, sounds like a place I might want to be...And if Heaven is a 12x12 room, and Paul still wanted to go there, I'll take it too...
And if Heaven is a 12x12 room, and Paul still wanted to go there, I’ll take it too...
Yes. Really the choice isn’t heaven or hell. That isn’t even a choice, who would pick hell unless they were tricked into it. The choice is Jesus or not Jesus.
Heaven and Hell might be metaphors to help us glimpse something we can’t comprehend now. I can’t comprehend eternity. We are more than physically trapped in time. We are mentally trapped too.
