Yup I went deep down that path and thought humans were all powerful, now I just laugh because it’s really absurd what the whole new age movement even involves and the belief system but humans are so self absorbed that we do want to believe we are so special and empathy, healers, etc opening third eyes and astral projecting and so on. I did it all quite easy and by accident at first so I’m not saying it isn’t possible but it’s a counterfeit way of being spiritual, a trick of the devil who pulls us away from God and makes us all think we are god in some way and in control just like the very beginning when Eve was deceived and fell for the same tricks that people are falling for today, Eve wanted to eat from the tree of knowledge knowing good and evil and to live forever which is pretty much what people are gaining in new age. Once I have my life to Jesus Christ and felt his mercy and grace it was a high of spiritual love I had never felt before. He is so patient with us all and waiting. God is so good praise Jesus

@Josh Don’t listen to us humans. This is why people leave the body. We all think we know and we argue about it vs showing Love. Most of us are still on our own journey. Pray Josh and ask Him to show you the way and then read the Bible and learn who Jesus is. I can’t explain it, but feeling guilt is no what happens...I am free from guilt, fear, sorrow, and filled with Joy...forgiving others sets you free, and then daily trials begin. Satan is in control of this world, so be prepared for anything, but above all things, trust in the Lord, and Do Not Be Afraid.

[@ishikilucas8148]

Similar experience!

[@antonioperez4091]

Let us construct a fable. Let us picture a woman thrown into a dungeon. There she bears and rears a son. He grows up seeing nothing but the dungeon walls, the straw on the floor, and a little patch of the sky seen through the grating, which is too high up to show anything except sky. This unfortunate woman was an artist, and when they imprisoned her she managed to bring with her a drawing pad and a box of pencils. As she never loses the hope of deliverance, she is constantly teaching her son about that outer world which he has never seen. She does it largely by drawing him pictures. With her pencil she attempts to show him what fields, rivers, mountains, cities, and waves on a beach are like. He is a dutiful boy and he does his best to believe her when she tells him that that outer world is far more interesting and glorious than anything in the dungeon. At times he succeeds. On the whole he gets on tolerably well until, one day, he says something that gives his mother pause. For a minute or two they are at cross-purposes. Finally it dawns on her that he has, all these years, lived under a misconception. "But," she gasps, "you didn't think that the real world was full of lines drawn in lead pencil?" "What?" says the boy. "No pencil marks there?" And instantly his whole notion of the outer world becomes a blank. For the lines, by which alone he was imagining it, have now been denied of it. He has no idea of that which will exclude and dispense with the lines, that of which the lines were merely a transposition--the waving treetops, the light dancing on the weir, the coloured three-dimensional realities which are not enclosed in lines but define their own shapes at every moment with a delicacy and multiplicity which no drawing could ever achieve. The child will get the idea that the real world is somehow less visible than his mother's pictures. In reality it lacks lines because it is incomparably more visible. So with us. "We know not what we shall be" [1 John 3:2]; but we may be sure we shall be more, not less, than we were on earth. Our natural experiences (sensory, emotional, imaginative) are only like the drawing, like pencilled lines on flat paper. If they vanish in the risen life, they will vanish only as pencil lines vanish from the real landscape, not as candle flame that is put out but as a candle flame which becomes invisible because someone has pulled up the blind, thrown open the shutters, and let in the blaze of the risen sun. C.S. Lewis

Whilst I’m not on board with all the statements here ( at least yet), I find it appalling that people are calling you a “false prophet” simply because they disagree on some small points. This is a Cancerous attitude in our community we need to stop, this is how we have 30,000 sects of Protestants. *Important correction* This comment was a year ago, and I said 30,000 sects because that’s something I’ve heard a lot. Since then I’ve learned that that’s not true at all and a misrepresentation. My apologies for that. As a protestant myself i’m embarrassed that I spread this myth. However thanks to God’s grace i’ve grown stronger in my faith & understanding of church history. Whilst I still maintain that there is SO much internal bickerings, unnecessary divisions, and disagreeing in the protestant community many times over menial disagreements (compared to caths & orthos) I should not have ill informedly spread a false myth.

Everyone is wise in their own minds. I fall short of this myself. In reality nobody truly knows it all and that’s the humbling stance we must take. When groups say that we are the one true church or denomination is a by product of the inept division the church constitutes. It makes one wonder how people can view Christianity to be true when they see it’s adherents divide amongst themselves. Yet the Bible says to always give a defense for your faith.

the 30,000 sects thing is indeed incorrect, but suffice to say there are many, many denominations, each who disagree with each other at least on some small point, others on major points. many are schisms of simple questions of authority. that's not what Christ intended, of course

Endless joy and awe, the transcendent wonder of pure light and love and action in humble union with the Divine. Like an NDE times ten. Perfection. Or, in a word.. Heaven.

[@picklechip5462]

You are twisting his words. He said if people just killed themselves to hurry to get to heaven than it would be for selfish reasons and he said that because atheists often try and say “well if you really believe in God and heaven is so great than why don’t you just kill yourself than” and when the person doesn’t agree than the atheist is convinced they proved a point. He never talked about suicide from mental illness or depression and specifically was saying about doing it to go to heaven. Most people committing suicide don’t have strong faith so they are not doing it to hurry to get to heaven anyway and the ones that do have faith in God usually say their faith is what kept them from doing it because they were worried that they wouldn’t go to heaven if they did. Sorry you went through that but what he said had nothing to do with suicide caused by depression

[@midnightwatchman1]

humans are complicated there is no one reason someone kills themselves. we are simultaneously unique and common at the same time. we may travel different paths but our motivations are the same. No matter how much pain and suffering we go through there is always some other person who has either gone through more or the same and yet made a different decision. The lie we often tell ourselves that no one else has gone through or we do not have the strength to overcome the obstacles. the obstacles that are both real and painful ... maybe somehow we could have made a different decision.

[@angeliquaserenity5009]

I respectfully disagree with some of your points. Heaven will not be a place of sanctification. In order to reach that conclusion, you have to believe that we are going to enter Heaven sinful. We can only enter Heaven appearing perfect before the Lord with no more desire to sin. The process of sanctification is on earth and not in Heaven. Our spiritual salvation is complete upon our entering in the celestial presence of the Lord. Also God guarantees that when we enter heaven, he will wipe every tear and no more pain (Rev 21:4). Therefore, we will not experience any pain or suffering from our realization of what we did. We will however experience God's mercy and love in light of his forgiveness for all that we have done in the world we are in now.

[@ipso-kk3ft]

One issue raised by Orthodox and Catholic Christians is whether anyone with any sin at all upon death can go to heaven. Of course, that depends on how you view the time aspect of how Christ forgives our sin. Again, while we in the comments section may not agree on what this purification or purgation is, I hope this vid still brings us closer to more fruitful dialogue about purgatory and sanctification. The doctrine is not unbiblical nor illogical, and it was certaintly not pulled out of thin air.

[@InspiringPhilosophy]

If that was the case, then Christ didn't die to make us spotless before God. The Bible actually says we will have to stand before God and give an account (2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:12). If you think that will be pain-free I have some bad news for you. Revelation 21 is talking about after the resurrection, not when we immediately die.

[@angeliquaserenity5009]

Wow. Cool. Got a response from InspiringPhilosophy. Thanks for the response. I view the white throne judgement as more of a rewards ceremony. Remember our sinful bodies are being resurrected after we spend time in Abraham's Bosom. So we are being purified physically with our sinful bodies. Its not so much that we are sinful the instant we are reunited with our bodies. Our souls already appear sinless before God. However, we must also physically appear sinless before God upon our resurrection.

[@InspiringPhilosophy]

Our minds need renewed first and that will take time, it won't happen instantly, as it doesn't even in this life.

[@angeliquaserenity5009]

Sure. Like I said, I believe our sanctification happens in this world. Our minds are currently being renewed so when we die we will be readiy to be focused on God in order that we will not choose sin.

I don’t understand how this isn’t your most viewed and popular video. Thinking about my 30 years so far and however much more there is to go, before being with Christ forever, seems like such a small footnote. Like 70-80 years seems like so much now, but when you realize that millions of years and beyond into forever is waiting for you, it makes you realize that your true purpose will be fulfilled after this life, and these 70-80 years will seem like a fading dream.

[@utopiabuster]

Hey IP. Merry Christmas. As you know, and even if you don't, I've been following you for some time and have watched nearly all of your videos, and, as a result, have learned a lot. I have to ask, "What is forgiveness?". I don't think I'm responsible for the salvation of those who've done me wrong, real or perceived. I'm responsible for my own salvation which means forgiving those who've done me wrong, real or perceived. The same goes for those I've wronged. In a way to forgive myself, by seeking redemption and salvation in the Resurrection of Christ, who suffered for my sins. I'm not trying to define Heaven or hell, nor am I trying to be "Christ-like". To be honest the thought of even trying to discern these possibilities is staggering beyond my ability. I think we have to be careful when trying to define such deep and profound mysteries that we do not venture into some "new age" concept of Christianity so in vogue today as many come to realize the incoherence of atheism but seem to accept the premises of atheist arguments that God and Christianity are evil. What about The Penitent Thief who is assured a seat at the Right Hand Of the Father? Does this not indicate a heavenly reward for the repentant? In the thief's case, by days end. Food for thought Brother. Peace and God Bless.

I can't believe it... a non-Catholic has just affirmed the basic concept of Purgatory!

[@leonarduskarolusiuliustant7498]

@Abraham Girt The basic concept of Purgatory is that sanctification has to continue after death. In the Catholic doctrine, it happens through a prosecution of penance (because Purgatory is for people who die in the state of grace - with their mortal sins having been remitted - but haven't finished penance yet; someone who dies in the state of grace without having to do any penance anymore goes to heaven immediately ), so it's still quite different from what IP affirmed in this video, but the key concept is there.

[@Moshugaani]

As traumatic as experiencing pain and cruelty can be, they will be swiftly forgotten when love and happiness come in their place. Sickness and painful injuries vanish into memory when the body heals. Trust and contentment can be rebuilt and regained when we find people who love us. These things can be seen in this life as well, so how much more it will be in the next world?

Great video- it made me reread several books on Heaven -

[@Gatorbeaux]

Luigi Rossi there is plenty of evidence for Gods existence, Jesus resurrection - so believing that Heaven exists is just a natural next step if those things occurred- a very strong cumulative case can be made for all of these(even heaven with study of Miracles and NDEs......

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Purgatory is what keeps the whole thing going; so sad.

Yep. Rev 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more - or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.” Luk 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

@@richiejourney1840 Yes, but the narrator doesn't say the pain will remain. Note that even in the scripture you quote that He will wipe away every tear, so there may be tears initially. However, I'm not certain I agree (or disagree) with the video's insistence that sanctification continues indefinitely beyond death, unless by sanctification he means forever discovering a new level of God's glory.

Amen actually it must happen , we have to renounce our will, with His help we can do it. Angels had a will and were tested and satan fell, he did not pass the test. To say angels still have a will means there can be another rebellion in heaven. Jesus did not do an unfinished job, He said it is finished,redemption is complete. When you get to heaven you will remember your past life no more.do not add or subtract to God,s words. There is no purgatory no second chance . Be careful whom you trust with this one chance
