of course......Ok, yes, God is real and the kingdom is real. Where is this kingdom going to be, in heaven?
don't you want to live where your God lives?

don't you want to live where your God lives?
you can verse all you want toOk, here is my answer to that one..
The bible never says that we are going up to where God lives. But.... scripture tells us that Jesus is coming to us on earth and will set up a kingdom there. God at some point, will be all and in all (God manifestation), working though his son.
So, do I want to go to heaven? I"ll say no, only because Christ will be here on earth and scripture knows nothing about heaven going.
Do I want to be where God is? Yes, God will be manifesting Himself on the earth, through his son, angels, and us.
If there is anything you don't understand what I said, i'll give you verses....
you can verse all you want to
let's say some of it is literal....
The Carpenter returns
the dead rise
and for a thousand years.....He rules with an iron rod
any hand outstretched would be struck down
and never offend anyone ever again
if the manner of your coming and going is inappropriate....
one stroke across your spine
and you will beg you going from anyone passing by
and if the Lord be displeased altogether
one stroke across your crown....
and your dominion will end
are you sure you want to be literal with me?
and you can't see where I am goingThe coming of Christ IS literal............ What point are you trying to make?........ I'm just not really sure where your coming from...
ah but was it written to youand you can't see where I am going
nor can you follow
but you will
(It's actually written that way)
Everybody dies, Robert - you, me, everybody in this world - we can't help that. If it has a beginning it has an end. Max age would be 125 y.o. but who would like to live that long on this world? We would be in a wheel chair with IV, colostomy & catheter bags hanging around.So the question, what happens when we die?
