Now the pie ain't for the cold calls, it is for the folks that have already visited your church.

I like the sound of the pie brigade.

Wonder if I visited a Rasta church someone would knock on my door with brownies? (oops wrong thread)

I don't know for sure if I am going to Heaven, but I sure hope I do.

After subsequent posts, I see this view was a little extreme. Sorry. Prayer and repentance are indeed key points. Loving Jesus is just a start; you really need to KNOW Jesus. You can cast out demons in His name, but if there is no reciprocity in knowing, your acknowledgement is for naught.

But if people love Jesus, then they will naturally do everything that comes along with it in time.

What you may consider a “constant focus” may just be when you are hearing them. I have heard different preachers say things at times and if that were all I ever heard them say, I wouldn’t want anything to do with them. But at other times, I have heard them preach on love, self-sacrifice, and kindness. You may be catching them at the book of Revelation or parts of the Old Testament and totally missing Romans or Galatians

In my church, it is forbidden to read from Revelation during Liturgy.

Can I take a guess? lol....

Revelation is basically a Liturgy right? In a sense.... So you wouldn't wish to mix it up with the last supper kinda Liturgy..... Making sense?

Revelation is not "canonical" in the Greek Orthodox church but only a kind of "semi-canonical": various churches have certain books that are often printed in the Bibles and regarded as good reading, but not "canon"; the Church of England often treats the "Apocrypha" (Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1st and 2nd Maccabees) that way, for example, while in the Catholic church those books are "canon" (but the books of Esdras, and the Prayer of Manasseh are only "semi-canonical"; the Greek Orthodox Bibles don't include one of the books of Esdras, but also sometimes include 3rd and 4th Maccabees as "semi-canonical"). In the Syrian and Ethiopian churches, 2nd Peter is not included; but the Ethiopians do include (as fully "canonical") the Shepherd of Hermas and a special Acts of the Ethiopian Apostles (and in their OT canon, 1st Enoch and Jubilees).

Basically because people misinterpret it (often enough that it becomes a major issue) and that spawns all kinds of confusion. It is in the canon of the scripture, but we don't read from it during liturgy for that reason.

Why? I don't want to spend an eternity in Hell with no hope and despair for the rest of time?

those who are going to heaven to be with Jesus in his kingdom , will be ruling as kings and priests for a thousand years so they will be very busy

(Revelation 5:10) and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”

(Revelation 20:6) Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.

“Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom.”—LUKE 12:32.

Happy is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who observe the things written in it; for the appointed time is near. REVELATION 1;3 I think it is more beneficial to listen to Jesus , and i dont think Jesus mentioned about refraining from reading the book of revelation.

He also tells me: “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for the appointed time is near. revelation 22;10

No he isn't telling YOU that, he was telling that to people 2000 years ago. The appointed time may be hardly any "nearer" now than it was then: "near" apparently meant, at least, "thousands of years away" but might equally mean "billions of years away".

Have you two (and any others) Seriously thought it through? Being alive for eternity...... I mean, to me either a nice fluffy place (heaven) or terrible place (hell) Eternity would be a punishment to me... Doesn't matter where I am, to live forever... I am already sick of this life, and I haven't even been here half a century... Eternity.... That, that is frightful to imagine. Leave me as ash, please.... I came from nothing, and I plan to return to nothing.
