How To Get To Heaven When You Die

[CandiCame]

We wouldn’t need translations if God hadn’t fucked up our languages.

Think about that for a minute. If God can get into your head and reprogram you with a different language, how can anyone claim to have free will?

Hey you know how Kent built that arc down the road from me and told everybody it'd be this huge tourist attraction and make all this money for the surrounding community and then it totally didn't because he couldn't actually put a zoo on it?

He wants to build a Tower of Babel now.

Which seems... odd... by his own logic.

I do. I am just curious what the song means to them.

You’re studying my comment too long.

The first part of the song is about a rich woman who can buy anything she wants. She decides to buy her way into heaven. When she gets their all of the stores are closed, but she is still able to get what she wants because of her money. Not sure what that song said. Is this tree and songbird in heaven with her? Not sure of the meaning there. It says he gets a feeling when he looks west. That sounds like islam to me. Rings of smoke through the trees? Not sure, maybe this song is including different religions in their vision of heaven. The piper must be a reference to the pied piper.

Anyway, it's a bunch of mumbo jumbo in the end if you ask me.

Your interpretation is hilarious.

In all, it’s a beautiful song masking darker overtones if you choose to believe that sometimes words have two meanings.

The piper is the devil.

Some people translate “a feeling I get when I look to the west” to meaning turning your back to God, clearly not a reference of Islam.

“Rings of smoke through the trees” - smoking dope, duh.

The song also pays homage to Alister Crowley.

But, again, I’m no expert on translating song lyrics; it’s just a song - a beautiful one. Nothing more.

Lol. No, just intrigued by the story of the lady who tries to buy a stairway to heaven. The music has a sad vibe to me?????

Not a Led Zepplin fan but did you see the tribute Ann Wilson did for them at the Kennedy Center Honors? They were moved.

Yup, I seen the tribute. Always nice to see other interpretations of great songs. I like Zeppelin, but I like Pink Floyd more.

muslims pray 5 times a day and face toward Mecca. So, whatever direction would depend on where they were I guess. If you look up the pied piper on the internet, it's not the devil, but I can still accept that it may still be a reference to that monster. Rings of smoke, yeah you are probably right on that one. It reminds me of when Bilbo was smoking his pipe in Lord of the Rings and Gandolf appears to him. Bilbo blew the smoke rings...lol.

The song doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I guess it's partly because my world view is completely different than the writer of the son.

Ok then...moving right along...

What’s the matter - does music and religious beliefs not mix well for you?

If you are implying that the music somehow proves my faith wrong, I am gonna have to laugh. I listen to lots of music, but I don't take theological advice from it. I read the Bible.

I used to believe in God and the afterlife was a regular member of church but things happened and I know when it comes to it heaven is not where I'm going faith has gone

My man takes me to heaven 6 days out of 7.

And he’ll be dusting off the “Jews need not apply” sign.

What is it that has caued you to lose your faith?

Alot of bad things happened in my life,almost one after another and no matter how much I prayed or wished,at that time nothing helped so I almost thought what's the point in it

You have to remember that God never promises to take our problems away, He only promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will help you THROUGH the issue and be a comfort for you through it. The things that happen to a true Christian are there for their learning and will work out for good in the end, even if we don't understand them. You MUST keep trusting in Christ, don't ever let go. FAITH in Christ is the key. Keep the faith. This life is not easy, it's hard, but God will reward the faithful at the Judgement Seat Of Christ.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU COULD EVER DO AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES

ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?

There are some things that you should know:

1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:

Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

It all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain, which this world sees, is the result of sin.

2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross:

Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Lying, stealing, sex before marriage, pride, hatred, ect. are all sins. Hell is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. That’s because you must be perfect in order to get to heaven. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already sinned, which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the President can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die. You won’t have to pay for your own sins because Jesus already did that for you. But if you reject the pardon that He offers, you will have to pay for your own sins by going to hell.

3. If you will confess Jesus Christ as Your Lord, place your Faith in Him and Believe in your heart that He died, shed His blood and rose again as a sacrifice for your sins, you will be saved (from hell).

Eph 2:8,9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Ro 10:9,10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.."

You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus, believing in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins and placing your Faith in Him. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven, but your Faith must be in Christ and His sacrifice alone and nothing else, giving your life to Him.

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Romans 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"

4. You must place your Faith in Jesus Christ believing in your heart that He died and rose again shedding His blood to pay for your sins as a sacrifice to God. If you want to accept Jesus free gift of salvation, or if you have any doubts about whether or not you are going to heaven, Pray this prayer from your heart to God in Faith:

”Dear Lord Jesus I believe that You are the Lord and believe in my heart that You died on the Cross and Rose from the dead, shedding your blood as a Sacrifice for my sins. I repent and turn to You as the only way of salvation, placing my Faith and Trust in You as Lord of my life, Please save me and I thank You for it, in Jesus holy name, Amen.”

If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven. Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism.

Really interesting sermon today on whether there are really Angels and Demons? So what do you think? My husband said he knows because of me. However, he will not elaborate as to whether I am angel like or demon like.
