What is God’s Heaven or plan at the end? Would you like it?

When you bring God down to your level, it doesn't represent the God your speaking for. How do you know things will even be remotely the same? Boredom is a state of mind, not reply to stimulus. I imagine, with God all things will be possible. (like He said)

Let's hope so.Regards

It sounds great but you must have a lot of faith to believe it. I don't understand what morals and thoughts have to do with spirituality and getting to heaven. Can you enlighten me somewhat?

No, faith is a matter of putting belief into action. Once God comes into your life, it becomes rather obvious and belief in things of a spiritual nature start leaning farther away from a religion and into the dimension of reality as they are slowly combined through the will of God.Morals and thoughts are the essence of what you are and what you are to become. Look at the ten commandments. Why is lusting after a woman a crime to God? There isn't any physical problems with undressing a woman with your mind. When over abuse of lusting manifests you can have social issues like rape, but is this the key issue? I would say no. They issue seems to be what spiritual ramifications are giving power by lust. If this life was truly meant to be a proving ground for young spirits then nothing has changed except the level of difficulty. Now sin is abundant and it becomes increasingly more difficult to differentiate between good and evil.What makes you think that if you had a certain perspective and moral set, that it would change with death? If you hate people today, and tommorrow you die, then what would change in the life energy? We have been warned of the neccesity of changing our minds towards inclination of good. When you die, you will go where you are inclined towards. I suggest you read Marietta Davis to get a better picture of the cause and effect of the after life.

You obviously believe in god. Is the god you believe in from the bible? Why worry about after life when we cannot know. It is all conjecture. All we know is this one life.
Is it possible to have heaven here on earth in the here and now?

Yes, the Bible is God's word. We may not be able to fully understand the experience of death, however to say that it is all conjecture is to discredit the evidence of eyewitness accounts. There are so many with such similar experiences that it would be folly to not digest the implications.
http://www.nderf.org/NDERF_NDEs.htmIf we are going to die, and there is a after life, then there is a God. And if there is a God, then we had better start to understand what he wants us to do. And that is to turn from sin, and love each other. While we undertake this seemingly simple task, our whole perspective changes, along with our thoughts and morals. And we begin to have the Christ consciousness which is our ticket to heaven and beyond. Why worry about the after life? Because if we don't we could be destined for death.

There maybe testimonies to out of body experiences but to say 'eye witness' accounts of the after life is taking it a bit far. In truth, in physical reality we cannot know. There are probably as many accounts of experiences with aliens and spaceships but it doesn't make it true. Is it folly to ignore these too?

This is an assertion of truth, not truth. Evolutionists will disagree with you on this, as will I. Physical reality, we can possibly know. Spiritual reality we might not be able to understand now. Yes, if someone sees a flying object in the air and there are no reported flight plans allocated to this object, then we should listen to the testimony. However, there are many quacks out there, but there are also people who have no motive to lie and would not lie about what they have se This en. can be related to NDE's as well. Why are you so quick to dismiss phenomena like this out of hand? I bet if you saw a UFO or an alien or angel, you would be at the front line defending your case. Shoe on the other foot type thing./

I did not say I do not believe those who have testimony to the supernatural. I do believe they see what they see and feel what they feel. It is the interpretations of this phenomena that I am attempting to clarify.
I meant we cannot know what it is to be dead in physical reality. We can have out of body experiences but the interpretation may not be correct. The phenomena is still within the human experience and could not be experienced without the mind and body.
I just think we have wonderful, creative imaginations and if we pay more attention to this life and less on the after life, we might just be able to imagine and create a wonderful world. Heaven on earth, no less.

These people obviously did just that. Had an experience outside of their brain and body. Which gives credence to the idea of non-materialism related to information and memory. Your brain seems to be not the only thing that records information. I agree that relating an out of body experience would lack the correct emphases to correctly gauge what it means to die. However, the stories of NDEr's is not open to interpretation. They tell the stories, you listen or read them. What's to interpret besides what the implications are? That is a nice thought...but in reality that is impossible. You have greed, malice, lust, envy, etc. Holding people back from experiencing and sharing true love. A naive look into the future must be a negative suggestion because it doesn't accept the reality of sin. The reality is we need God in our lives. We obviously have let things get to a point where there is no redemption without an arbitrary objective Father. That is the hope of salvation, that we can live in Jesus and not have to be subjected to the sin nature of this world. Much better to look into the after life as a starting point in eternity than and ending in this world.

Out of body-type NDE's can be induced with ketamine, a short-acting hallucinogenic, dissociative anaesthetic, you know.Read more about the experiments, and about the history and state of current research on NDE's hereAn excerpt:

This is a straw man. Skepdic.com? Nice reference. We could also assume that due to,

Similar experiences can be induced through electrical stimulation of the temporal lobe (and hence of the hippocampus) during neurosurgery for epilepsy, with high carbon dioxide levels (hypercarbia), and in decreased cerebral perfusion resulting in local cerebral hypoxia as in rapid acceleration during training of fighter pilots, or as in hyperventilation followed by Valsalva manoeuvre. Ketamine-induced experiences resulting from blockage of the NMDA receptor, and the role of endorphin, serotonin, and enkephalin have also been mentioned, as have near-death-like experiences after the use of LSD, psilocarpine, and mescaline. These induced experiences can consist of unconsciousness, out-of-body experiences, and perception of light or flashes of recollection from the past. These recollections, however, consist of fragmented and random memories unlike the panoramic life-review that can occur in NDE.

that these altered states of consciousness are in fact catalysts to releasing the spirit and soul into a spiritual realm. Also, it is stated that the NDEr's have life changing effects afterward which your skepdic goes on to hand wave with a "where's the evidence" ploy. Even if the evidence was written in the sky in big orange letters you misanthropes still wouldn't believe.
