Do You Believe In Heaven
Welcome home!
Heaven?
Do you believe in Heaven?
Do you believe in fairy tales too?…
…or how ‘bout mythology?
How can an intelligent person believe in Heaven?
If you believe in Jesus, you almost have to believe in Heaven.
But that’s the problem…how could any really intelligent person believe in Jesus. At least not the Jesus they try to sell you at church. I mean, come on, talk about your fairy tales. How could you possibly believe that God decided to leave his place in Heaven and come to Earth to be born in a stable, live as a commoner among us, teach us about love and then allow us to kill him in the most gruesome manner just to show us the greatest love of all? Are you serious?
Well, it’s right there in the Bible people would always tell me.
Well so what? Isn’t that just a book of fairy tales? Anything can and does happen in the Bible. You’ve got a flood covering the whole world. Nine hundred year old people. A man who parts the sea. Another man who survives living in the belly of a whale for 3 days…I could go on and on.
But all of that is in the “Old Testament”. We don’t really know when the old testament was written.
But I was astonished to find out that the “New Testament” (the story of Jesus), was written within 3 to 37 years of Jesus’ death. Which means it can’t be a fairy tale or even a legend. Too many eye witnesses were still alive for someone to get away with making it all up. And anyway, what would be the motivation for making it up. The main followers of Jesus were scared to death after he was killed and were in hiding. Do you think they made up a story about Jesus rising up from the grave because they suddenly decided they wanted to be martyrs and get nailed to a cross also? It just doesn’t make sense.
Could it be that Jesus really did come back to life again after being horribly executed? Could it be that He really did appear to over 5000 people over a 40 day period? That might have given the disciples the courage to come out of hiding and start spreading the Word that Jesus had given them…the Word that has amazingly spread to every corner of the globe.
The truth is that the New Testament is one of the most widely authenticated documents in the world. And as for historical accuracy, the New Testament is much more reliable than many other documents that we take for historical fact. For instance, the historical accounts of Alexander the Great were written 500 years after his death. We know that some elements of his story have been exaggerated, yet we accept these accounts as fact.
Many people say you have a lot of faith to believe in Jesus. I don’t really think so. Knowing what I know now, I’d say you’d have to have a lot of faith not to believe in Jesus. In fact, you have a lot more faith than me if you are willing to bet this life and (if you are wrong) the rest of eternity on the fact that Jesus was not God who came to Earth in human form to show us how to love one another.
Jesus believed in Heaven.

The Desire Of Ages by Ellen G. White is my favorite, beesdis the Bible. She writes so that you feel like you are standing right there beside Jesus as He is ministering to others. Mel Gibson read the book when He made the movie, The Passion. When I read the book, I come away with a desire to be used to minister to others. I love that each chapter tells me where I can follow each story from the gospels in the Bible. The last page or two of each chapter is like a message for me. It is an awesome book. You have a great opportunity to meet Jesus in the pages, and fall in love with Him. The book begins with His birth and ends after His resurrection. I have my book all underlined as it is so powerful to my heart.
great. congratulations.http://www.listadeemail.org
The non-Christians I know typically have great recsept for Jesus of Nazareth- they just don’t accept him as the Messiah. As a Christian, I do believe they’re missing the most important part of His teachings, but the best way I know to share the Gospel is by trying my hardest to live by the example He set. It’s my responsibility to let God’s love for the world embodied in Christ’s great sacrifice reflect through my words and actions.
good blog. i will try it in my posts, and let’s see the result.http://www.musicapaulafernandes.net
never heard of something like this.http://www.listadeemail.org
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
