Paradise on Earth

[onewithhim]

When I learned that the Bible speaks of a restored Garden of Eden and the restoration of mankind to the perfection and endless life that Adam forfeited, I was thrilled. Who doesn't want to keep living on this beautiful earth, with our loved ones, and being able to do all the things we love to do---endlessly?

If God said to you today, "When do you want to die?" would you say "now!!"? I don't think very many people would say that.

We CAN live forever here on Earth. The Bible tells us that we can.

Matthew 5:5
Psalm 37:9-11,29

It has been written many times here on this thread that there are two groups of people---people with different hopes.

What authority does anyone on this thread or website have regarding the scriptures?

Most people come to this website to prove and defend what thy have been taught is the truth. They are seeking verification.

But regarding your two groups -- which, if any, are members of the Kingdom of God?

Maintaining paradise will be tricky and building it, tricker still.

If you are refering to "paradise " as proposes in scripture, may I ask what challenges you have in mind vis-a-vis the "building" and "maintaining" of [biblical] paradise?

I have no idea what biblical ideas there might be which would render the challenges non-applicable.

As much as anyone else.

Verification comes in relation to one's outlook...coupled with what is.

But regarding your two groups -- which, if any, are members of the Kingdom of God?

There is no reason why both cannot be. Some retain their conscious awareness and move along with the process without further interruption, while others choose to sleep through that period and be awakened from unconsciousness [rebooted] at a latter date...

I am interested in the OP topic and why folk believe in it. Mostly from YHWHs perspective, since Hers is The Best.

Well I don't know who the "her" is you are refering to...

Are you unaware that YHWH can be referred to in both the masculine and the feminine as well as both [hemihedrite]?

[JehovahsWitness]

If you are suggesting YHWH the Creator is located or is himself the molten center of the earth this is entirely unbiblical and I see no reason why anyone should believe that. As for gender, God is neither masculine nor feminine He identifies as a spirit and for the sake of communication his chosen pronoun is he/him (see Mat 6:9)

Apparently, there are options available for those who have died before the promised return.
One does not have to remain in an unconscious state while things unfold as YHWH has prepared various places for those who have passed on and who's personalities have been deemed worthwhile saving in a free-flowing format rather than in a steady state format. Some remain conscious while others go unconscious and are rebooted at another time...

According to the Bible, those who have died before the promised return have absolutely no knowledge of any thing whatsoever.

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing... (Ecclesiastes 9:5)

Where do you get this stuff?

There is no place YHWH cannot be. That is biblically sound. I am not suggesting it is the only place YHWH resides...but one of the many places YHWH resides.

As for gender, God is neither masculine nor feminine He identifies as a spirit and for the sake of communication his chosen pronoun is he/him (see Mat 6:9)

Not at all. It is rather for the sake of those who cannot understand YHWH enough to commune with Her maternal side that She answers to they, in the masculine.

From the bible is where I get this stuff.

There are many options available, as Jesus told the guy dying next to him...it is that simple. No one belief out-guns all others.

You will get what you believe in.

No, there really isn't.
