It doesn't assume God. Anyway, you're one to talk about assuming God, considering you've previously on this assumed a God who doesn't act in any way scripturally ascribed to Him. At least I assume a God who is either unreasonable or privy to a reason beyond our human comprehension. Ie, one so different from "reason" it might as well be called something totally different. Either way, it gives me the heebie-jeebies. I guess this is what people get faith for.

Colossians 3 "Rules for Holy Living Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God." Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God..." Also consider that many of the times Christ sets out or blesses a way of living, the promised reward is Heaven. As in: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven... Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." BOB: The Kingdom of God/heaven is meant to refer to the earthly kingdom-come, paradise and perfection on earth and so forth. JIM: I say Christ (and Bible-writers) didn't make any distinction between that heaven and heaven-in-the-sky. And in the eye of the needle passage, at least, Jesus is universally understood as meaning heaven where you go when you die. BOB: But the Bible's not written to extol the advantages of heaven. JIM: I think Bible writers probably expected people to know them. But it does lay out a moral code with a promised reward for following it. That reward is heaven. PS-We've already discussed your heavenless faith dozens of times. I'll respond as I always do: Good for you. Really.

Your question, "Could God . . .?" assumes God, and has only one answer, believer or not.

The Bible does not seem to say that the goal of a Christian should be to get into heaven, for that would be selfish, and God wants unselfish glory given to Himself. God can be selfish if he wants to. As near as I can tell from reading the Bible and trying to ignore all that’s said about it, you become a Christian by faith. That means that you decide to experience something new and quite mysterious. It means you must let go of the old, believing that no real loss is involved. In return, God creates a free space into which His Spirit can flow. Take it or leave it, the Bible seems to say, for better or worse.

That's metaphorically. Realistically, you're a mirror.

Whatever, Wonder Woman. At least wear a trenchcoat over your costume like the rest of us.

And I with you.

Of course not. What's your point?

Realistically, I see my image reflected in his face.

Okay. Just as long as you know the original answer to the question you've so erstwhilely copied is "Yes, but she wasn't worth it". Is that really what you're trying to associate your love with?

Ha. Better yet: The Rapture. Possibly the craziest movie I've ever seen. And starring porn-era David Duchovny.

I assumed that was the case. We're talking about laboratory/poetry conditions. Realistically, you'd see the frames of the mirrors diminishing to a point.

that sounds good, i hope to see it sometime

Was that your first answer? :(

Only if there's nothing to reflect. It actually causes a virtual infinate reflection.

All the answers to these heaven and hell questions can be answered by watching the movie "What dreams may come". I say this as a skeptical believer so it may count but being I'm a skeptic I doubt it.

I get the point. I was just noting that Marlowe was so good he coined two cliches in two consecutive sentences.

Because glorifying God is a way to get to your goal of heaven. The Bible is not a book about glorifying God, it's a book to tell people how to get into heaven (ie, by glorifying God). God doesn't need a book to be glorified. He's already Glorificus Maximus. In short: An example of a goal is "Get into heaven". "Glorify God" is not a goal. DancingShamrock is writing a poem about a goal. Do the math.
