It would be great for those who believe very strongly and those who believe but have questions, like myself, to get a Q and A going without fear of being booted for sounding like one is questioning the existence of God.

I don’t.

There are many questions. As many know here and it’s almost like a running joke because I mention it so much :), I had a head injury about 12 years ago.

Thing is, some sinful things that I really enjoyed doing before the injury, I didn’t afterwards.

It seems like a loophole to have gotten out of some bad sinning.

I think some don’t understand how changes to the brain affect the soul.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far :)

And I KNOW some things we just WONT KNOW until we die.

And why do we have to die to see Heaven?

There are no stupid questions, We would welcome them without reproach.

I have modified my sinful behaviors over the years...what i concentrate on is recognizing them as what they are but reveling in the fact that when I asked Jesus into my heart as my Lord and savior, His blood washed away all my sins - past/present/future and God no longer recognizes my sinful behavior as sin...

33“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel

after that time,” declares the Lord.

“I will put my law in their minds

and write it on their hearts.

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.

34No longer will they teach their neighbor,

or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’

because they will all know me,

from the least of them to the greatest,”

declares the Lord.

“For I will forgive their wickedness

and will remember their sins no more.”

35This is what the Lord says,

(from Jeremiah).

Even though my sinful nature survives, God sees me as a pure saint....I still repent of my on-going nature and take heart that even Paul, who had met the risen Jesus and was specially chosen to carry the Word, lamented that he still found himself doing things he knew he shouldn’t do and not doing things he should...if one so close to Jesus couldn’t beat his sinful nature into submission, what chance have the rest of us?
And “the poor in spirit shall inherit the kingdom of Heaven”....Those who recognize they are still sinners by word and deed, and who wish they could be otherwise, will see heaven because they know for a fact that but for the blood of Jesus, they would never be deemed worthy...

Many blessings...
