i'll ask you a question. if you are only concerned with the afterlife, why are you on THIS site?
do you find it anti-Christian to want to protect our earthly home?
With all due respect, it would of been nice for you to answer my question. It would help me understand your point of view a little better and try to help you navigate the scriptures. True wisdom only comes from God.
Everyone will depart to the afterlife whether they like it or not. So to not ponder it, would be ignorance on my part. While I'm still here, it is my duty to share the gospel ofJesus Christ with everyone I can. It is the foundation of Christianity. Matthew 28: 19-20 " Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
To the second question, absolutely not. God put us on this earth to be good stewards of it. However, it is folly to think man can protect anything without the intervention of God. Since satan is like a roaring lion, roaming the earth, seeking whom he can devour; the destruction of this fallen world is inevitable. The further we wane from God and His good ways, the faster we delve into satan and his ways. Basically, without God, our own evil hearts ( though we may think what we're doing is good) puts us directly on the side of satan.
Hopefully I can receive an answer to that very important question I asked you earlier. It is a matter of life and death. May His mercy and grace be upon you.
don't worry for my soul, okay? i'm good.
i still say to you to not be so literal. apple, snake, fig leaves etc are men's words to convey the story.
The fact is, it doesn't matter what flag you fly. If God isn't recognized for ALL that He is and feared as a loving Father, everything is in vanity. I pray Jesus opens your eyes and softens your heart. Many blessings friend.
