What I was getting at is; where does the spiritual heart and mind exist? Where does spirit exist? If spirit exists in a place then there can be a place called heaven. |

Jesus was referring to the humbleness of a child. when we speak to a child, they will usually sit, listen, ask questions, once they understand, they try to obey. spiritually adults, tend to want to believe what they want. even when Jehovah God's words says something else ,(Pro. 3:5,6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths). some of us refuse to believe "Gods" words, because we want to follow our own selfish course. which can lead to our destruction ,(James 1:14,15 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bring forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bring forth death). we claim to follow Jesus, but do we really?, (Luke 6:46 And why call you me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?). we may be adults, but we have a lot to learn from the humbleness of a child. peace |

I like this one weareunity. |
"become like little children" is the antithesis of what life asks of us. Life is so hard one needs to be supremely competent to survive. It is odd that heaven asks for the opposite of what life asks of us.

Honza, Yes, it might seem counterintuitive but the same thought is illustrated in the story of the Prodigal Son.......it depicts a return to the Father and a return to home. If we believe in eternal life we realize that eternity does not begin with our physical birth in this world. Eternity, by definition, precedes our birth. Our mission, in effect, is our rejoining of eternity. Some might say, in a way, a return to Eden. It is symbolically representing a new start.....which, by the way, is the same call that we hear with the injuction "that ye must be born again". |

" It is odd that heaven asks for the opposite of what life asks of us." Heaven asks ???? :D Didn't no heaven asked anything, what do you mean... |

Like most of your questions this one would require a whole book on the subject to answer it. In the first place it is obvious that heaven did not 'ask' anything. I was using a figure of speech. You need to spend time to try and understand what other people are saying. I was trying to say that the requirements to enter heaven are very different to the requirements to staying alive... |
