Probably best NOT to be privy to these details. :)

I don’t even want to think about this one....

Ah, I just noticed it wasn’t even your statement to right way right regarding being able to use it, and you were just interceding for kokoda to attack me.

You’re a real piece of work.

Sounds like the set-up for a bad joke.

With a punchline that starts, "Honey, you ..."

I can't think of one now, but in guy terms, 30 pounds is nothing.

Where is purgatory explained in the Bible? Thanks.

You're very perceptive. Yes I am. From the very start this article and topic gripped me. Lark News is a publication all theologians follow. They attack the issues others wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, like "Will I be fat in Heaven". Or what happens if I step on a duck in heaven (I know MnDude posted it in #6 but I'm pretty sure Lark News had it before him). Or SnakeDoctors "Will there be steak in Heaven". I've been waiting for the 72 virgins in Heaven question that someone is sure they heard about in church but can't quite find it in the Bible . . yet. As the Head Deacon in the Royal Order of Ego-Centrist I deal with these things constantly and take them just as serious as I do Lindsay Lohan. Look for my articles in The Onion (The finest publication on the planet Earth).

In Genesis 9, Noah was given permission to eat meat. Before that, it was probably prohibited.
If you look to Revelation, it tells us that next to the River of Life, there will be trees growing fruit. Apparently this will give us all the nurishment we will need, and I am sure if you desire steak, the fruit will taste just like the best prime rib.

So, what about the 72 virgins? When do we get them? Are they virgins because they are extremely ugly? Or do they just run faster than their siblings? Why only 72? If they is an extra one or two just hanging around, can we get them, to? Or are we limited to only 72? What happens AFTER they are no longer virgins? Do they disappear? Are we stuck with them forever? Do they come with Mothers-in-Law?

Thank you for these questions. Yes thank you very much. As I have a backlog of important issues before me I must address them in the order in which I desire. And while you may think that you deserve a quick response it is important for you to bear in mind the mechanisms of the universe do not rotate around you in a concentric fashion. Think on these thoughts as you navel gaze at the piece of lint from a long lost sweater. Remember I will always cherish you but the duties of state require my most urgent attention.

"Where is purgatory explained in the Bible?"

It is not explained in the Bible, but, like the Trinity and Transubstantiation, it satisfies certain conundrums presented by Scripture.

Purgatory is not a place or a time, it is a process in which the final purification is accomplished because nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven (Rev. 21:27). Every Evangelical or Protestant who professes to be cleansed by the Blood of Jesus acknowledges the purgation of their sins.

Peace be with you.

I don't really need a new wiener if its just going to cause problems.

Being in Jesus presence will be enough.

Satan knows the “downside” of making waves in heaven.

Heaven uses a punch-card system. You get handed the card (along with your wings, robe, halo, and harp) when you go through Processing, upon your entrance into Heaven. The punch card has 72 intact circles when you start, but don't forget that it has to last you for all eternity. Don't use them up in that first year!

But what about a “hanging chad”?

Dismissing your brothers and sisters in Christ

WOW! So you saying those 'in Christ' are deliberately misled?

Seems YOU are the one who has wake up first before you even touch the basics of Christianity.

Seems pride got the best of you and are quick to condemn!

Those deliberately misled are those who I don't cast pearls to!

"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces." Matt 7:6

Probably depends on how good the food is in heaven.

What do you mean ‘no’? Didn’t I say they didn’t recognize Jesus?

I don’t think Vanity works in Heaven. Some women are hopeless.

“Everything right now is about making sure I reach my preferred dress size in case I die suddenly,” she says. “I’m driving a lot more carefully now.” •

Uncharitably, I think a more important worry for her is whether or not one is still brick stupid in Heaven.

Or perhaps breathtakingly vain.
