Don't you just want to die?

FYI:

Every time Heaven is mentioned in the Bible, it is, what we now call, "the atmosphere" or more simply, "the sky". That is why Angels are always sitting on clouds and have wings and whatnot. IT IS NOT AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE or something of the sort. IT IS THE SKY AS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE.

I totally agree with jewpin

They say that Greek mythology was disproved because no Gods were found atop mount Olympus.

If you watch a historical documentary, they always talk about ancient religions like they are disproved and obviously false due to their paganism (multiple gods) and lack of current worshippers.

What if when we die our heart is weighed against the feather of truth? How will you answer to Anubis?

fusi0n you can't really say that. this is critical thinking, we're questioning things that no one can say yes or no to, or what's right or wrong. he's just giving his opinion. So far, I haven't seen any explications coming from YOU on the matter

WRONG

...
It's figurative?
Tell me a verse that suggests what you think.

Genesis 1:1 and 1:7-1:8

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

"And God made the Firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so"

"And God called the firmament Heaven...."

www.dictionary.com: Note: In Scripture, the word (firmament) denotes an expanse, a wide extent; the great arch or expanse over out heads, in which are placed the atmosphere and the clouds, and in which the stars appear to be placed, and are really seen.

True, but couldnt this sky=heaven thing be chalked up to human ignorance? How do you describe an etheral existance after death to someone that dosent understand what the sky is?

[tsugaruknight]

Exactly.
