Later on after my son and his family moved to the Reno area I went to church with them when I visited. I got to know his bishop who I liked very much and visited in his office on occasion. One time his assistant came to the door and announced Mr. So and so was there with his W2. They are serious about tithing!

Typical, witchcraft mentality, trading dollars for a seat in a pretty building and a dream of eternal salvation. Less believable than the wildest fantasy or sci/fi film.

Now you can take the position that you are entitled to all of the above or you can see with your own eyes god's master plan at work in this small solar system of ours

I donated my body to Medcure because In the 1700s, interns had to rob graves.

That is a totally untrue and rude statement! I think members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are some of the kindest and most service oriented people I know.

Very simple! If you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior then you go to Heaven, if you didn't accept Jesus, then you go to HELL!
Eternity is a VERY long time.
Make the correct decision!!

Makes one wonder, maybe Peace, Love and Brotherhood are not part of God's plan?

… of course they are a part of God’s plan … everybody read John 3:16-17. Then think about it… it is the pure & perfect ‘baby formula’ for believers! 😎👊

I am glad you were treated well at BYU. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I joined 29 years ago and it was the best de union in my life. I know Jesus Christ is our Savior and by following him my life is at peace even during this tumultuous time. I have been devastated by the passing of my 16 year old Grandson and my faith is what helped me through that most heartbreaking experience. If you ever want to come to our Church Service we are happy to have you. You can DM me if you would like to learn more about where and when.

This is interesting. I had to go to Mormon services when I was at BYU Law School in 1982. I found the people there friendly for the most part. I went there on a Merit Scholarship which was for non-Mormons but covered the cost as much as if had been a Mormon.

I had a recent convert as a roommate which was a huge problem as I needed to study and not talk about religion. and recent converts often want to spread the news, so to speak.

I will live with The Lord and my family forever 💖

And don't forget the part where the Dr drops you on the head and says, "Oops!". Or doesn't that happen to everyone? 😯

I always figured that if God has this great plan, then how dare we pray for him to change things just for us. The arrogance of humans! "Making a Godly omelette requires breaking some eggs. How dare you to ask me to change the recipe."
And, if God has it right, he will not change the recipe, maybe that means all things are pre-ordained. Prayer cannot change anything. Oh, sometimes it makes you feel better.

I have never, as a scientist, never believed in ghosts but this event was as real as the couch I’m sitting on.

I believe you because you believe it. And all your other posts seemed to be logical and normal. In 1992 my wife and I were babysitting a friend's children one summer night in Arizona near Sedona. We saw some lights circling in a large ring about mid-sky, or about 45 degrees. I said that I was going to walk up with the friend's dog and maybe get a better look at it. My wife was spooked and did NOT want me to go. Of course, I went anyway. out of curiosity, I suppose. I watched and petted the dog for about 1/2 of an hour and walked back. It kept up all night. And the sunrise washed it out. Our friend lived there for 10 years and had never seen that. And definitely, no mushrooms were involved. It was probably an inversion layer of some kind reflecting light from some airport. But, the light rotation looked like something from a Star Wars movie!

Dead is Bye-Bye Forever
 
Dead is dead. It is permanent. No one's ever proven it to be different.
Same for heaven and hell. They've never been proven to be real "places."
There are those who want to think they're real because of blind faith.

No one really cares anyway and no one is reading this because we're almost beyond the 10th page of this thread!

I tend to think of it like after you die, you get to spin a giant roulette wheel and it can stop on fish, grasshoppers, rabbits, bears, insects, and even humans. That way you get more variety and respect for the ecosystem.

As a very soon to be resident of TV, the stereotype I had that this post has proven incorrect, is that most residents were of deep Christian faith, regular church-goers, and having a biblical understanding of the afterlife. Though there are some, I am finding though I agree with most TV residents politically and economically, that many have no desire for anything spiritually or of Jesus, but a main focus of a temporal life devoted to leisure and fun.

People can't really help what they believe. They are taught/indoctrinated what to think and how to think and what to believe from childhood. As they grow thoughts and thinking patterns become more structured. Some rebel or refute anything that goes against their teaching. Others may be more flexible to allow them to see, accept and adapt to newer, better ways and ideas. People don't/can't just decide to believe differently any more than they decide to be a different blood type or change their species. Beliefs can be changed if one is able to assimilate new/different information.

"change their species" that suggested to me a possible similar thread like......if you had to come back as another species........what would that be?

Yah! If you had to be reincarnated, and could choose, what would you be and why. Go for it. Could be a funny thread.

John 3:16 says it all. "For God so loved the world (all of us) that He gave His only begotten son (Jesus) so that whoever believes in Him will not perish (be banned to an eternity away from God, in Hell) but will live everlasting life (will live in eternal paradise with God)." Think about it, Jesus left Heaven to come down to earth, live a perfect, sinless life as a human, then in obedience to the Father went to a terrible death on the cross to pay the price for all of our sins so that we would not have to pay the price for our sins. ---posted in love from a Bible-believing Christian---

It was extremely peaceful. A peace and existence I still can't describe. I will say this though, I was upset when I came back. And no, there was no religion or politics. There was an incredible feeling of understanding.
What would you like to know?

"The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another."

If you die in a field and grass grows from your fertilizer. Then a cow comes along and eats the grass, have you not continued as grass and a cow?

If I died in a field and grass grew from MY fertilizer and a cow ate it, the cow would vomit and when the farmer tried to milk the cow all he would get would be cheese curds.

the grass absorbed your body aka matter.
