Ok that makes more sense to me now, thanks.

I'm confused by the wording I guess. I don't know why it says Heaven will pass away because I always thought of Heaven as a permanent place. I'm not there yet but I won't be on earth in this body much longer at my age.

Luke 21:33 "Heaven & earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away." My question is, if we're in Heaven & it passes away what happens to our souls? Where do they go if there's no Heaven? Am I reading it wrong?

Much thanks for the advice. I'll speak with my pastor after the next church service & if it's not a good time for him I'll ask when he's available.

I don't know where to start & I don't know who or how to ask these things. I would like my preacher to do my funeral service. When, nobody knows but likely within 10 years. Do I ask him? Or just tell my wife to ask him after I die? Do I pay him? If so how much? Also, do I need to talk to funeral...

A refractor is best for seeing planets & the moon. It gives a slightly sharper image than a reflector. They can be expensive but prices have come down the past several years. I have a Meade Polaris 90 which wasn't expensive. Lens is 90mm. A reflector uses a mirror to reflect light to another...

The change began after my mom died in 2011. I wasn't up to going to Mass for a few weeks. Then I was told I need to go to confession for missing Mass & if I died before going to confession I'd go to hell. For grieving the death of my mom. Also 2 teachings from RCIA bothered me. One teacher said...

Yes, I was baptized as an infant in the Presbyterian church. I completed RCIA training & our class had our first Eucharist at Mass. My wife was my sponsor at RCIA. The reasons for leaving were that my beliefs began to shift back to where they were before I was a Catholic & I needed to pray &...

Correct.

I'm not Catholic but she is. In the beginning I went to my church & went with her to Mass. She convinced me to read a book about converting which I did & I converted a few years later. I lasted 5 years & left. The church I grew up in boycotts Israel so I couldn't go back. I found a Calvary...

That's the name of a Youtube channel I subscribed to awhile back some of you may be interested in it or already watch it. Sometimes he preaches scripture & sometimes he discusses guns, politics & how people are attacking our 2nd Amendment rights. About me; I'm at the gun range at least weekly...

Someone on a Christian social media group said when Christians die we go to sleep & stay asleep until the 2nd coming of Jesus. Then we go to Heaven. I never heard of this in my life. Then several other Christians agreed & said "Yes this is true, we don't go to heaven right after we die. Only...

I read something online today I never heard from any preacher or Christian but I'm just wondering how many believe this. An article I found online said no one goes to Heaven or hell when they die. We are on "pause" until after the judgment. Then we go to Heaven or hell. I find this hard to...

The first kind I experienced in my teens & twenties. The second kind I sometimes experience now.

Mathew 5:28 "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Spirit vs flesh battle. For some a very difficult battle. Here's a conversation I've heard a few times & it can be divisive: What if there was a pill you could buy...

I'm sure most everyone here is seeing it too. My preacher often mentions things in our culture & around the world that I would have never predicted in my lifetime. The USA isn't mentioned in the Bible but I see a drastically different country than I saw 60 years ago. The world view of Israel...

I highly recommend trying Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for COVID-19. I believe it saved my life 6 weeks ago. When I tested positive the clinic sent me home with antibiotics. I got worse. My own doctor refused to try HCQ for fear of losing his practice. Many pharmacies refused to fill prescriptions...

I know 2 people who are liberals but consider themselves Christians. Pro-choice communists who go to a liberal "church" that teaches what they want to hear in a politically correct fashion. I couldn't date someone with those beliefs. It's enough to deal with going to a different church than my...

I learned many years ago I have permanent writer's block. I've played guitar since 1974 but I have never written a song. Lots of instrumentals but no lyrics. Not one line. The melody comes easy. The words? No. I'll sing other people's songs (when no one's around) but I have nothing to say...
