Truthfully, I think new bodies won't require food, liquids, or sleep. We're be getting our sustainable from God, as we were created to do.

(But, nuts? I miss nuts too. lol)
You and Bruce and EG will be there so of course there will be nuts in heaven...
You don't think there will be food and eating?
Hmm...that gets you thinking.
Did Jesus eat a piece of fish on the shore after He had risen? I have to look that up.
Hard to know, I guess. Not everything I consider beautiful will be there. The ocean it says, won't. The ocean is stunningly beautiful to me.

You know... if we didn't NEED food to survive, I think we wouldn't have so much of a problem with overeating sometimes...we'd just enjoy it without all the oddities over it.

You need to check out "AdBlock." I don't remember the last time I got a popup. (And how is it I've never received porn? How do they know, I'm a girl, so just no? After all, these are the same people who think I want to check out dresses. Just-no to dresses too. lol)
Actually females looking at porn is pretty common anymore. Ads are usually placed based off of your search history typically. Some sites may have default ads, so you can get random stuff. But I find if i Google something out of the ordinary I suede my start getting ads for it all over.

g7 - He believes that certain ideas corrupt you, he calls it spiritual porn.

Funny but the roman catholics had the same idea, you could only read
ok books in case you got defiled. A very religious idea, lol.

And from g7, ohhhh, what a shock ...
Ah, I see. Thanks. :)

Most people read words by taking the first and last letter in a word and extrapolating.

I just read that as "Say no to popcorn!" And...say WHAT? :eek:
Too funny because that happened with me too! I actually thought about popcorn. No kidding.

It's true, it's true....I do believe some things we see and hear will defile us if we allow them to.

Hebrews 12:15 (NASB)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

1 Corinthians 15:33 (NASB)
[SUP]33 [/SUP] Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."

I hope to eat at the wedding supper of the Lamb... I don't see why we would not. God created the earth with trees for food, and gave all seed and fruit bearing plants to us to eat before the fall. Jesus did eat in front of His disciples in His resurrected body :)

Well that makes you smile!
And then we have men like Stroebel who actually went hunting down evidence to make a decision by. It's not the same for everyone. Nice to meet someone who can prove to me by their own experience that I'm not an anomaly. :D
Stroebel already made the decision. He was reading the Bible to disprove God.

Whoops. lol

He ate when he came back. He ate fish and he ate with two guys walking along a road in another country. Thomas touched his wounds, so he was still in his human body then. (No idea if he dropped the human body when he went home though.)

I was looking at toys to include in a story I was writing. I was seeing if John Deere ever made one of those ride-in peddle vehicles as a tractor or bulldozer. Sure enough, they did. And sure enough for the next couple of days someone was sure I wanted to buy one.

I do. I just don't fit. lol

Lost me again, sorry. No biggie. It was just kidding around on my part.
Well my confidence about that is slim to none, sorry. things of impressions of speech, or motives of verbosity, seems all to surreal.

This got me thinking. Does everyone have a theology meter?
Accept x % of Christs words and intentions everything is ok.
Get this one wrong, exit chute.
Reject this lot, exit chute.

What happens if you come to faith, then get seduced by some
type of theology and end up denying Christ, falling into unbelief.

Are you now lost or the past faith counts for all?

Now what I have listed above is the actual belief system of some
though they will swear blind all are saved who believe, except that
bunch over there who just faked it.

Pauls attitude to heresy was to separate from those who denied righteous
living and continued in sin. The sins he mentioned were

"sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler."
1 cor 5:11

But hey guys, they are going to heaven so lets be chummy.

This is how the cults grow, it is called love bombardment, you make people a
member of the group, and then just assume they believe the same as you.
If they start to disagree, emotionally punish them until they give in.

This does actually work, but it is not from the Lord, just manipulation.

Not sure what you're saying here either.
If you are saying I talk too much, you're probably right. :)
If you're saying you don't trust that I was joking with you, I assure you, I was! But I may be confusing you once again with the guy who I meant to joke with based on our previous conversation. If so, I'm sorry!
