Living on Purpose
The topic of the afterlife is interesting and I appreciate the comments. I want to remind myself and everyone else that I’m not necessarily dogmatic about certain Biblical insights and do not want to seem like an authority on subjects that we will probably not understand until we get to heaven. Topics such as end-time prophecy and predestination are complicated and controversial. The bottom line in many cases is that no one really knows everything about the Bible, and most everyone has their own opinions. Biblical understanding is based on correct interpretations and unfortunately this is where the prideful arguments bring division and separation. Many declare there is only one truth based on the idea that God is truth and cannot contradict Himself and neither is He the author of confusion. We are looking forward to the day when all of God’s saints will know His perfect truth, and agape love will bond us together in peace and joy forever.
