Tea party activist: ‘Jesus Christ is weeping in heaven’ over pope’s criticism of capitalism'

[Tigress DEM]

161. Jesus NEVER called himself King.

He didn't even like people to call him "Good Teacher" because that was like people worshiping him and he put that aside for God only.

He indicated that he had a place in His Father's Kingdom and that people would be there with him if they followed the way of truth - simplest version, love God 1st, yourself and others equally.

When his disciples argued about who should be at his right hand, the place of honor, Jesus went about washing everyone's feet and took the most lowly position to show them that it wasn't about compettion. Their squabbling about it was addressed a few times - enough so that he said that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. That to strive to be most important in Heaven is to miss the point entirely.

The people who want to go to Heaven are people who'd like to have the time and energy to really give peace a chance. Who are fine helping others and not being the first to get this or that new toy. It's a good place for those who can deal with that vibe and with being in some sort of connected state with the energy of God and others who have passed on. It's a place to evolve to.

Earthly Kingdoms are nothing like Heaven because whereas God cares about everyone, Kings just don't have that energy or time. They are finite beings with bodily requirements. A person's spirit can rise above the pettiness even here on Earth at times, so why couldn't it after death? Energy doesn't vanish it just changes form even according to science.

Jesus also taught Christians to call God their Father in Heaven. Living in a Kingdom when you are kids of the King, isn't a bad gig. Do you like your family? Can you understand that it might just be like this really large family reunion for human kind getting to meet and greet and hang out for eternity?

Even on Earth righteous Kings don't Lord it over their people. Their purpose is to make sure the kingdom runs smoothly and that the people are content enough to live in relative peace with each other. If mere humans can do that, then what about souls who have evolved from this level to something more? What about a being that has been here since before time began?

Maybe it's all just a collective fantasy but if it isn't hurting others then people ought to just get their big old noses out of other people's beliefs and let them be.

I don't advocate trying to convert or judge anyone who has made up their mind that God doesn't exist. But when they try to tell ME what is and isn't true about God, I just have to ask, HOW can you even THINK to know? Obviously you are missing a lot of Theological background due to the general statements you're making. There are complete ideas that run through Jesus's various teachings and even if a person only studied what he said and did he explains why the Kindom of Heaven is different from kingdoms on Earth.

You don't need a democracy in heaven because everyone is equal and it isn't about all this decision making and goal setting. It's about BEING who you are in spirit and connecting with God and others in the world of the spirit.
