Why would I want to live forever on this rapidly deteriorating earth with its rotting civilization? God created us to live forever in His paradise if we only accept His free gift of Grace.
We are not human beings having spiritual experiences; we are spiritual beings having human experiences. The wish to live forever is like the wish to stay in school forever. The purpose of human mortality and education is to prepare us for better things.
“God created us to live forever in His paradise if we only accept His free gift of Grace.”
But why is accepting that gift of grace so important to him? Sounds rather petty, after all we’re all his children whom he says he loves, no?
Why doesn’t he dispense with grace and just let us all enter his paradise, after all we’re all his creation? He could easily do that if he wanted, couldn’t he?
