    Is Heaven, Nirvana etc the goal?

    There are actually three heavens specified by scripture (basically atmosphere, space/universe, the place of the present throne of God -search "third heaven") -but we will inhabit "the heavens" -not specifically heaven. There is only logical separation -everything that exists is one thing.

    Is Heaven, Nirvana etc the goal?

    It begins on Earth -the meek shall inherit the Earth -but more and more immortals will need more and more room (humans will continue to reproduce on Earth, etc, and become immortal.) -hence the entire creation. God said the heavens/universe/worlds were not created in vain, but "formed to be...

    Is there genuinely good evidence that the universe could have been eternal/infinite into the past?

    If universe basically means the "one thing", then it boils down to the idea that there could never have been absolutely nothing -as absolute nothing can not become anything. Otherwise, time really doesn't apply in the same way at a point where the one thing is a simple as possible. The one thing...

    Everything is the same thing.

    Basically, but opinion is related to decision -which I perceive to be the point at which complete inevitability ceased to be -and allows for mastery of reality -none of which would be possible without the predictability based on repeated, rearranged identical simple interaction (the littlest ant...

    That's an awesome string section -and an awesome concert hall. :p

    Everything is the same thing.

    It is basically completely orderly -but can be messy when the orderliness serves no function or purpose. I think the fact that people are looking for it (beauty -actually the cause thereof)) is evidence of it. It resulted in it -and the concept of messyness -which is based on our drive to order...

    Everything is the same thing.

    There is balance -but also a basic force which is able to cause temporary imbalance. Decision came about due to that -and is subject and dependent -but is also that which may subdue it and decide its course. Now that we may consider what is beautiful and not -we can look back on how we came to...

    Everything is the same thing.

    Couldn't help it what with all the particles everywhere :D

    Everything is the same thing.

    It is both logical and true by definition. When we say "level" it refers to complexity. It is number (or relative strength of force if everything boils down to simply that which can act and react) and arrangent which are responsible for the various rules at different levels. The most simple...

    Everything is the same thing.

    All things which are complex must be made up not only of less complex things, but of the least complex thing/s possible. As we see on the atomic level, all atoms are essentially the same thing -differing only in amount and arrangement of components. This principle should logically apply at any...

    Islam and Sabbath

    "The" biblical Sabbath was officially given as law to/through Moses -quite a long time after Abraham had Isaac and Ishmael. Ishmael is said to be an ancestor of Muhammad and much of the Muslim world. The Sabbath, etc., would not have been a direct concern for those not descended from...

    Should I use the KJV ?

    Any translation allows for error. Even original texts can be misunderstood. Some parts of the KJV are outright deliberate changes to the original -such as substituting Easter for Passover, etc. I find it best to use Bible search software -looking at many translations -and the Strongs definitions...

    How do you decluttering your inner world?

    I have never had much, but I have noticed I am happiest with just enough -and when concern is outward rather than inward. Freeing one's self from needless concerns is crucial. Spiritually, I know the present situation is temporary -and that all will eventually be well. I have learned to be...

    Do you see God here?

    In order to determine whether something was created (by man or similar), present nature is referenced. That which is impossible for present nature must have been created. The development of creativity is a necessary intermediate stage. The same principle would always apply. Was the universe...

    Do you see God here?

    Actually, the "place" to look for God is before the initiation of our universe -before the singularity transformed what was (at least some portion) into what is. If there was simplicity in the beginning, the singularity can not be the beginning, as it necessarily required the information which...

    A creator and a singularity

    21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

    A creator and a singularity

    Logically, there could never have been absolute nothing. Two statements I have heard from the science side of things are... "It just was"... and "In the beginning was simplicity". From the religious side, many do not consider the possibility that God developed. However, many biblical scriptures...

    Why would it matter if Jesus had risen from the dead?

    Oooooh Oooooooh Oooooooh because..... not really dying is really impressive. Kinda hints at you not having to really die -and at least proves the possibility (direct proof for those who had direct proof). Ever wondered why Christ was so popular later among non-Israelites? Things happening...

    Evidence for a god existing or not existing

    Sometimes there is not yet common ground.

    Evidence for a god existing or not existing

    Not referring to that. You seem to be assuming my beliefs.
