It is written in the Good Book that paradise will be a new heaven and a new earth, and that the former world will neither be brought to mind nor heart. Does this mean, then, we will never discover the meaning of our being here? All those silly, stupid questions I had (and still have), will they never be answered? I hope it's not that that it's saying, that we would simply not think about the old things, this old life that we live today. Before we put the whole thing to rest, I sincerely hope that our Supreme Being will take a little time with each of us (we have all eternity, after all), and tells why the @#$%& this all happened like it did. If there were a line for it in Heaven, I'd wait. I'd wait a million years for that.

How do know anything? Do we know for sure we we will be here tommorow? So how do we plan for the future? How do we go through life not feeling discouraged for these reasons? :(

Nothing is for certain, it is true. What gets me through it, though, is my faith. That's about all anyone has at times.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
-Revelation 21:3-4

Actually, "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind." - Isaiah 65:17

Magdelana, you might be the one who is DISILLUSIONED. It seems that you have an open mind. If so, you cannot make a bold statement like that without looking like a complete Ignoramus. Do you prefer to choose your meal, the car you drive, the movie you watch? You do. Just as people CHOOSE to believe one way or the other. There is no 100% for sure right answer (as far as mortals go...We could argue into the next millenium.

I think the word is "deluded". But anyway, let's agree to disagree. Peace.

The after life is whatever we imagine it to be. So be careful what you imagine. For we create our own reality. Have you ever noticed that the answers found are determined by the questions asked.
