More about Heaven…this time with video from nightline…
There are multiple videos in this article, but please go read it and watch the videos and let the discussion begin:
“The question of heaven, the question of what happens after death, is one which a lot of people in our culture try to put off as long as they can, but sooner or later it suddenly swings round and looks them in the eye,” said Bishop Tom Wright.
Believers and unbelievers have strong views about what happens when you die. For centuries, Christians have believed that their destiny after death is heaven: a spiritual place where they — along with a myriad of angels, — sing praises to God for eternity. But is it possible that Christians may have gotten that part of their faith badly wrong?
Wright, who is based in the North of England, is one of the world’s foremost theologians, teaching at a range of universities from Oxford to Harvard. The author of the new book “Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church,” Wright says that many of us started thinking seriously about heaven only after we got a glimpse of hell.

I hope that was enough to wet your taste buds… please read it and watch it and stir up some conversation. God bless yall!
“Is there life after ;ife?”
One thing at a time. I don’t know if there’s life DURING life.
Really? Explain what you mean. In Wright’s book, one of the purposes of his book, is that in a Christian paradigm/reality that in this life there is life abundantly, but it is a life lived with hope. I find hope all over this life, even in the midst of pain, death, sorrow, etc… there is still hope if one lives in the reality that Christ purposed and we read in the letters and narratives found in the New Testament.
but, enough about me, what did you mean in your short response?
Oh and thanks for posting!
