🤔 Something To Think About 💬

 🤔Something To Think About 💬

Psalms 119:171 (KJV) My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.Sidewalk verse for the day

The Son of God who is the image of the invisible God.

Colossians 1:16 (KJV) For by him (the invisible God) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

One only has to read Genesis chapter 1 to understand. God steps out on the pages of scripture in. Genesis chapter 1 and verse 1 “In the beginning God created.” God created everything you and I know. God has given us the abilities to take the things He has made and produce many things. John 1:3 (KJV) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Colossians verse 16 told us why all things were created “all things were created by him, and for him”  We are also told that all things created which are in “heaven” and “earth.” Then we read these words “visible and invisible” when we look around here on this earth we pretty much see the visible. If we look into the heavens on a clear night we see partly visible. What I mean is we see the bright shapes of stars and planets but the visible part of what is on them we see not. Then there’s the heaven that is totally invisible. Where is this invisible heaven? I don’t really know, it’s invisible. Maybe like you I think it’s past the partly visible heaven. Why do I say that? In the book of Acts as Jesus left this earth we read this. 

Acts 1:9 (KJV) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Acts 1:10 (KJV) And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

Maybe the visible Jesus went up to the partly visible to the invisible. I don’t really know but I’m going to stick with the Heaven we read about in our Bibles is upward, because we know what is downward. I got interested in what the internet had to say about how many people believed there was a heaven and how many believed there was a hell. Here’s the results.72%) of Americans say they believe in heaven — defined as a place “where people who have led good lives are eternally rewarded,” according to the Pew Research Center’s 2014 Religious Landscape Study.   

Good lives??? Let’s define “GOOD” where in our Bibles is “GOOD” defined? Romans 3:12 (KJV) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. But at the same time, 58% of U.S. adults also believe in hell — a place “where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished.” If no one is good then would that make everyone bad? Something to think about.
