Christians are suppose to hope for eternal happiness. I mean that is what god promised us and we hold on to his promises because he is faithful to perform them.
Paul said that we must unswervingly hold on to our hope.
Our hope is not in life, our hope is in god. Who gives life. Eternal life...
LOL....sword. I hope YOU understand all that.I think the OP premise is quite sound. The universe expands and contracts. Makes perfect sense to me.
God stretched out the heavens the bible says....if he stretched out the heavens he stretched out space and therefore time. God was not in the...
I agree with the first part. I dont quite understand the part about having children in heaven. Me thinks that whoever is there is there. I dont think there will be procreation. If the lamb lies with the lion, youd think the lion will not feel like eating the lamb and so i dont think that making...
I also have to add, that timing is important. Jesus has unanswered prayers. He prayed that we all be with him, and we are not all there ....yet.

Pray 'your will be done' then get exited about it. Cause that is the only prayer god will answer.

The point is s-word, that if god made billions of years in 7 days he can collapse billions of years in 7 days. Revelation speaks about this thing happening when the skies are 'rolled up like a garment'.

The first account of faith in the bible is when abel brought his offering 'by faith' to god.
The first time people started to call upon the name of the lord is in genesis:
Genesis 5:26
26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.
At that time men began to call on the name of the LORD.
However :p if you legalise pot, you need to up the taxes. Somebody has to pick up the tab for it.
:eek: Perhaps obama could spare himself some critisism if he did not name the presidents car 'the beast' LOL. I mean if your going to be the anti-christ be subtle about it yeh?

I like the analogy of breathing you have going here. The reason things 'seem' to have existed for billions of years, is because as space expanded so did time. You stretch out space you stretch out time. God could have stretched it all out in 7 days, but from our perspective its seems like...
