Paradise or Hell
Close your eyes.
Imagine that you are in paradise.
Balmy weather and a gentle sea breeze,
Calm waves and harmonious music,
Crystal clear blue sky,
Sandy beach as far as the eye can see.

Ah, paradise!
Wake Up!!!
Get with the program!
Stress is the name of the game.
Forget about paradise.
It's reality time.
Grit and grime.
Noise and bluster.
Smoggy days and torrential rain.
Ah, hell!
Let's compromise.
Just take the bitter with the sweet.
It may not be perfect.
But you'll feel more complete.

Post a CommentParadise is first, then after the White Throne Judgement, The lake of fire... Yes you can burn forever without dying, God made us, He knows all!! Your body can be cremated and burn again, it's a spiritual body and soul, I know you couldn't understand...
I don't know where I fit in this empty web site, it offers nothing... What we believe spiritually doesn't change what is... God is so good He allows you to believe what you will do believe, this doesn't make it true... even if some cults can't explain what you ask, you ask the wrong person, ask Jesus and He will show you!! I am a living testimony He exists!!!
