The basic thing is to Love one another as you love yourself.

I think we first have to establish what "Heaven" is before we can figure out a way to get there.

Is it a place, a dimension, or a state? (...and I don't mean Hawaii, ...although it could be considered close)

discuss...

...wait til the tsunamis come ashore, and the volcanoes all go off simultaneously.
You'll be screaming for mainland in a heartbeat. {giggle}

I don't own beachfront property . . . yet, so tsunamis won't affect me or my property. The only volcano on Oahu (Diamond Head) is extinct. I've hiked it many times.

Kilauea (on the Big Island) is active, but it's separated between me and the ocean (but I have seen it up close and personal . . . amazing site). Next!

Hurricanes maybe. But I'll take hurricanes over tornadoes, hail storms, and earthquakes. AND I'll enjoy paradise in the meantime till I'm wiped out by a hurricane.

I got married on Maui. It was purty

The lady that helped us w/our marriage license kept asking us if we were from the church "Jesus Coming Soon."

We didn't know what she was talking about until later when we actually saw the church and the "Jesus Coming Soon" sign outside.

Lucky you.

Maui is beautiful. I go there a couple times a month for business. Always try and stop at Krispy Kremes and grab a box of donuts for the kiddies.

I've already posted the way to heaven that is stated by the Christian bible, but many people have different beliefs.

Some people believe your good needs to outweigh your bad, etc. Some believe you have to accomplish a certain number of "acts" set forth in your "religion."

One of my uncles told me once that he views God as a pillar of cloud next to a huge file cabinet. When a person dies, the cloud removes their file from the filing cabinet and by reviewing how they lived their life, is granted a home in either heaven or hell.

I'd never heard anything quite like that.

Anyone care to share?

What do we know?

I believe that the bible is true (a big reason being fulfilled prophecy) and I think if you'd read it w/an open mind you'd end up agreeing.

Like you said (sort of) somewhere earlier if there is a "true religion," you'd want to believe that one. It's up to you to investigate them and either accept or dismiss them.

Zack, would you consider yourself an "agnostic?"

No STella.

I am not an Agnostic.

However, at around age 12-14 I considered myself an Agnostic.

For the kiddies? ...sha right! {giggle} When I go to Krispy Kreme, the donuts I get are for my kids too.

Don't worry my lips are sealed. I won't tell a soul... if you give me some donuts.

A close friend once told me, the path to self discovery as Christians is through compassion and service to others.

It didn't make sense at the time but I eventually came around.

I believe this, if its done for the glory of God and not for humanity. The Bible tells us that our earthly deeds are like wheat that is burnt by fire.

Friedrich Nietzsche is a late 19th century philosopher, whose philosophy stands as the culmination of modern european thinking.
Really interesting reading, and quite enlightening I might add. Though I wouldn't recommend you read his texts (since it's quite difficult to interpret if you don't have a philosophy grounding), but rather read other philosophers (sp?) that have analysed his work and thinking, like Gianni Vattimo or Katja Galimberti (don't know if there are english versions of their work though).
