President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
So you're saying it's irrelevant? You ever get pushback from other Jesus freaks on that one? Why do you have such disdain for gays if it's irrelevant?
Any and all sins separate us from God.
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.- Romans 3:10
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. - Romans 3:23

Yeah cool, but why do you have such disdain for gay people?
I'll never understand why people buy that stuff. It's not even slightly believable.
The key is simplicity. You just gotta have faith.
The more complicated rules come later.
It fails even the most basic thought experiments. Consider the claim that you can go to heaven and live in eternal bliss.
What if I get there and my wife and son didn't make it there? Are we seriously trying to tell me that I will be blissful in heaven while my closest family members are being tortured for eternity? It doesn't pass even the first serious critical thought.
I've always thought there should be some kind of spectrum, or at least a backup system rather than a rigid Heaven or Hell setup. Because in reality, the difference between the worst person who squeaks into heaven and the most honorable guy sent to Hell are going to be nearly identical. I'd feel pretty bad for that poor bastard who failed right at the cutoff.
The cutoff in the bible is about worshipping God, not about being honorable. The criminal on the cross next to Jesus got into heaven.
I have know idea if there is a God or heaven and Hell etc. I can say from experience that those folks who are God less tend to be miserable people. Many of the most angry people in these forums make fun of those who believe in God. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I suppose if you have nothing to look forward to after this it must be a sad existence.
The Bible itself explains why that is the case:
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.- 1 Corinthians 1:18
I couldn't care less what the bible says buddy.

The “Jesus died on the cross for our sins” part loses me.
It’s bizarre that 6 million Jews can be killed by Nazis and will “burn in hell” but if a Nazi gives his life to Jesus before he dies he will be saved.

I don't claim to have THE answer to your excellent question.
But since we're considering engaging Thought Experiments (TM Pending):
One possibility is that in Heaven God removes all our memories of our lost love one's.
Since we're told we have nothing but joy in Heaven, the 'purged memories' idea solves the problem you posed and to the best of my knowledge doesn't contradict any Scriptures.

One's eternal destiny isn't predicated on how an individual dies. Everyone dies at some point. Where will YOU spend eternity??

If you've been really good, you can request a +1 or +2 from St. Peter at the door. Might need to slip him a twenty.

That would seal the deal for me then. Not interested in forgetting they exist or having my memory wiped. I would never agree to that. My wife and children are the most important thing to me. I would think less of anyone that would take that deal, frankly.

A twenty? In this economy?
Man, at some point you just have to face the fact that you're far too old to be watching South Park.

So you were dinner at the Past Lives Pavillon too?
'COMPLEX-QUESTION FALLACY' ALERT!!!
I don't have disdain for gay people.
I suppose I should have more disdain for folks like you who lie about me and other folks in this forum.
Maybe I'm wrong. I think if we did a poll, >50% of respondents would consider you to have disdain for gays. What do you think?

If the Naturalistic Worldview were true, then you and your beloved wife and children would be of no more (or less) ultimate value than the vomit your pet dog spews all over your living room carpet.
Fortunately, you and your beloved wife and children are made in the image of God!!
