Any advanced civilization whether it would be humans many years from now, an alien world in the universe (multiverse) or heaven /paradise would expect us to get past our most primal of human thoughts and behaviors. Anger,violence, greed, believing in money, sex with any body, lies, materialism. We have to be able to appreciate the good and not abuse it or destroy it and then seek to constantly improve toward love and peace. Who in their right mind would want us if we don’t make that choice now when we have complete freedom to do so? Do we look forward to huge advancements in our thoughts? Or do we try to destroy what God created here because we think that He was wrong, we think that is up to us to clean up His mess? Not true Christians, we try to help. God knows what He is doing and is giving each and every one of us the chance to choose. That is why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ. We needed physical evidence…so we ‘got it’, so we could ‘get it’. Got it? Because of his sacrifice we are to love and follow him and he said,
JOHN 13;34-35 ” And so now I am giving a new commandment to you now- love one another just as much as I have love you. Your strong love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”said Jesus Christ
MATTHEW 5;43-48
” There is a saying, ‘Love your friends but hate your enemies.’ But I say Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way you will be acting as true sons to the Father in Heaven. For He gives sunlight to both the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust too. If you love only those who love you, what good is that? Even scoundrels do that much. If you are friendly only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even heathen do that. but you are to be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.”said Jesus Christ …SAID JESUS CHRIST!
MATTHEW 28;19-20
” Therefore go and make disciples in all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father , Son and Holy Spirit, and teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you; and be sure of this- that I am with you always , even to the end of the world.” said Jesus Christ
