I'm sort of new to all of this. My faith is very very strong but in all my searching I haven't been able to find the answers to these questions while trying to understand him and get as close as I can. I talk to him very often and there have been plenty of times where he'll either answer in a number of ways or make sure I know he hasn't forgotten about me.
Everyone here seems to be on the same level I'm on. Everyone here seems to completely believe/know the truth and is completely in love with God like I am. Its very refreshing. After being blessed like this, I really cannot imagine how I lived without him for so long or how others do too. Or how they can deny him in the first place. Out of all the religions in the world with all of the "Gods" they Think they have. God/Jesus is the only that Reached out to us and did everything in his power to show us how much he loves us and that he's with us and very very much involved in everything.
I wonder if there are others here who have wondered the same things.
The first one I have read answers on but I'm not entirely sure on still so I'm asking it to see if others have heard/read the same thing.
What happened to the people who died before Jesus was born and died?
The one repeating answer I read is that no matter who they were they all went to some kind of a holding area for souls until Jesus died in which after that Jesus went down and took them all to heaven. Is that the same understanding everyone else has about it? Or close to it?
The second one I still have no clue about but I'm very curious.
What happened to people who died and die even today that Never Ever, EVER heard of God or Jesus or any faiths that would lead to him? As crazy as it sounds there are people out there even today. There are native tribes in South America that have never been discovered until recently and probably others that still haven't plus all the people in the past who died too. Its impossible to guess at the number of how many but you can bet its in the millions.
I cannot imagine God, who knows absolutely everything that ever was, is, and will be about every single one of us that is alive now and who will be alive down to the number of hairs on our heads, who has the absolute power to do anything Anything he wants with it and decided to create us and love us on the unlimited scale and did everything he could to tell us that he does, could allow these unlucky people who are victims of their not so modern, isolated circumstances to slip through the cracks or any loop holes. People that have heard have the free will choice of believing in him or not. Someone that has never heard in any way never even has the choice at all. But the fact remains that He loves us all and he would know if someone never heard of him too just like everything else.
That's what my heart tells me from understanding him as best I can but like he said himself. He's not us. He doesn't think like we do. He doesn't see things like we do. So I think I'll never really know this one unless I can ask him himself. Which leads me to the last question.
Does anyone think that once we die we'll be able to spend one on one time with him? According to what I've read. In heaven there isn't going to be a sun to give us light. It'll be God himself that keeps everything bright with all his glory and love for us that we're going to be basking in constantly.
But that doesn't say that he's going to be down with us on whatever level we're going to be on. I know that we'll be able to see him. But I haven't seen anything that would mean we can be with him one on one. I don't see why it couldn't be. He can be all places at once. In heaven and on Earth.
I have. So much I want to say to him. Even though he already knew/knows now what I want to say I feel the need to. I say it all the time in my mind and out loud but I still hope I'm able to say it all in person. Plus I have so many more questions.
The thought of it makes my eyes water up. I'd flop to the floor (if there are floors in heaven) because that would be the lowest I could possibly get in front of him. Bowing or kneeling wouldn't be enough to me.
Sorry for the long post. I've always been a big thinker. But since I started trying very hard to be as close to him as I can while I'm stuck down here I think mostly about him. I could say a lot more but this is to long already.
I wondered what everyone else thought. I'll be around here and there.
