To me, this is the definition of being in hell. Unable to live your current life because all of your focus is on another life. Let tomorrow take care of itself! Look at the lilies of the field!

Are you willing to put your eternity on the line? Where your soul will spend "forever"?

Hell yeah I'm willing to put ETERNITY on the line. I want to be able to, when I die, say that I acted reasonably and honestly. I'm not willing to burry eternity in the ground out of fear just as the servants buried the master's talents in jesus' parable.

It's simple for me. I choose to spend it with The FATHER, our GOD, living in complete bliss. Not in hell being tormented FOREVER. Think of hell as your worst nightmare. Then multiply is thousands of times. I'm not willing to take that chance. Are you? That's the biggest gamble of all time, if you're willing to take it. Alot at stake. The journey is simple... for me. The destination is the house of the LORD. Most important.

Buzz! You make such insane statements! Have you ever thought about this? It's just like your comments about the "discovery of the ark" in the other thread. You put SO much value in these decisions and you get so passionate and express such vivid emotion about it and yet you are completely unwilling to invest even an iota of thought or effort into this topic!
You ARE talking about ETERNITY! More than that, you ARE talking about the NOW! And you're willing to just accept that you're correct in your selection of one of a myriad religions in the world with mutually exclusive paths to heaven (in a literal interpretation). You're willing to just blindly push on?
I guess I can appreciate that at your point in life. You've already gotten so deep into it, there's no turning back. Just don't try to force the same fear driven blindness onto the next generations!
