There's a reason why there is a stairway to Heaven, and a highway to hell......
Where is this staircase located?
The stairway is a little bit harder to find than the highway; which since you didn't ask about the highway, you must already know where that is. Good luck with the choices you make in life. That's all I have to say about it.
If you have to take a stair way to heaven you'lll never get there, even if a stairway exist.
Good luck to you too.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...
I was traveling in TN.... one evening I pulled into a parking lot for a break. The lot filled up ....I was in a Baptist Church. I was invited to the "service" by a couple gals.
I went in and joined up.... quite an evening ......I did not imagine church could be so interesting.
Now ,I travel to Northern Wisconsin , we have a cabin up there. I often get tired and I know all the cemeteries on Hwy 27 , Hwy 12, if I am sleepy I can pull into a cemetery for a short nap.
An old guy in bibs came up to the truck in the dark....asked if I would join him inna beer, well I was pleased to do so. He handed me an old Walters can of beer. The can was warm as could be ........but the beer was so cold I could hardly drink it.
I just don't know whether heaven is going to be all it's cracked up to be, at least for me. I like hunting, not sure whether I will be able to do that...possibly you can't kill anything up there. Perhaps there's a lot a beautiful ladies up there, but again, not sure if you can do anything with them. And there's going to be several weak hypocrites who I am pretty sure will just manage to scrape in and get to heaven, not sure if I want to see them again. Just hope I'm not bored doing all the "nice" things up there.
I’m sure each of us has a mental picture of what heaven would be like! Reuniting with friends and loved ones. Meeting my heroes from childhood, listening to musicians and singers I’ve always loved. I plan on giving Patsy Cline a big kiss! I said on other post, I think God must be a hunter Himself. The bond you build by hunting with people is much stronger than blood or friendship can ever supply! But i know there’s much more to life in this world than I can see as a mortal. I’m sure heaven is even greater than I can imagine. Maybe just being in the presence of my God and Savior is greater than we imagine now. To be honest, I don’t worry about it. I know my ticket is punched. If I’m wrong, (I’m sure I’m not), I’m worm food and nothing more. I love being alive, and I know that what awaits me is far beyond what I as a mortal can picture. Reon

It's a figure of speech friend, a play on words, that just happens to illustrate very succinctly the human condition here on this God forsaken rock, and you obviously don't get it.

Sure, there's a stairway to heaven. It was first mentioned in Genesis 28:12 and definitively identified in John 1:51.
I don't. I was raised Catholic because of my Mom, at around age 14 we could make our own decision. Both of my sisters did the same thing. My Father a retired Earth scientist has always been an atheist. My first day in catechism, which I believe was in fourth grade. The teacher started telling the story of Noah's Ark. Even at that age I thought this is a bunch of bullshit! My Father never ever influenced me and I didn't know about his beliefs until 16-17 years old. My folks are both 88 and are Highschool sweethearts and have been married 69 years. My Father has always supported her on everything.
I doesn't bother me that People practice religion. It's just extremely upsetting of the devious side of it. Alway's wondered how many members feel the same.
But what if your wrong?
And what if you're wrong, and the correct answer is Mormons?
Well, you again make me smile!
Seems to me that over time and dialogue, you and I pretty well know one another’s stated beliefs….
But anyway,
The key question here…for you…as I have asked before….”What will happen to you after you die ….. if I am right and you are wrong?”
I don’t want that for you…..

The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
God is your maker. Every knee shall bow to Him. I prefer to do so willingly as I am not self-made.
That does nothing to explain what "God" is. Nor are we made. We don't pop into existence through an act of divine creation. We are born and grow and die through a natural biological process.
I do not, however, believe in Christian dogma as codified in 300 AD or so. Or in Noah's Ark, the doctrine of original sin, etc. And if God is really all-powerful, why would it be necessary to torture his own son to death to "take away the sin of the world?"
Nevertheless I think all would agree that modern Christianity--not the religion practiced hundreds of years ago--makes the world a better and more caring place.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
