Mike Stone--Restoring Belief in Heaven
February 7, 2021
A belief in heaven is a belief in God. God is Bliss, the heaven we actually seek.
A belief in heaven is an assertion of the immortality of the soul, and the Moral Order of the universe.
Without this faith, we'll never see heaven on earth. We're seeing hell instead.
Mike Stone writes about preparing for the afterlife.
(Disclaimer - I measure a belief on the effect it has on the believer's life and on society as a whole. Right or wrong, the correct belief is the most wholesome and constructive one, resulting in the most personal happiness and social wellbeing. But IMO, the immortality of the soul is also objectively true.)

Do you wish you could relive parts of your past?
Are there people you wish you'd gotten to know better?
Have you made mistakes that continue to haunt you in the present day?
I would answer yes to all three questions. While we cannot change the past, we can certainly change the present. We can begin living better right now.
If you don't want to have regrets, shower your favorite people with attention today.
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. If you've lived a sinful life and hold no hope for the future, you still have time to turn things around.
Saint Alphonsus Ligouri says, "If you were promised all the money that you could count in a day, would you waste a second?"
Your remaining time here on earth is exactly like that. Only instead of counting money, you have the opportunity to do good to secure yourself an afterlife in Heaven.
Don't concern yourself with money, prestige or material possessions.
God doesn't care about any of those things. They're actually hindrances.
Some say, "Time is money."
But time is actually much more valuable than any material possession you can name.
You can avoid regret in your future by living a life of grace and love today.
Make love the guiding light of your life. Immerse yourself into living God's will, not your own.
Doing so is a day-by-day, moment-by-moment decision on your part. Make the effort. Do what you know you should be doing, what you were put on this earth to do.
ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING
If you're a young person, be aware that life passes in the blink of an eye.
Always do the right thing. With every decision, ask yourself, "Would God approve of this?"
If the answer is "No" or even "Maybe not", then don't do it. If you don't want to live a life of regrets, then don't do anything that will lead to regrets later.
It's obvious we are living in the end times. Anyone who denies that is an idiot. We all have to choose sides. You have to choose a side. Are you with God or are you with the Satanists?
Don't let fear dictate your decision. Don't let the bastards con or frighten you into taking a deadly, mark-of-the-beast vaccine.
Don't let them bamboozle you into believing their "anti-racist" claptrap.
It's all a magnificent hoax. Stand your ground. Look fear in the eye and say, "No."
If there are people in your life who don't understand this, who think you've gone off the deep end, cut them loose. Otherwise, you will be dragged down to hell with them.
Fear is contagious, you don't want people like that anywhere around you.
Love is contagious too. Are you up for the challenge? Are you up for saying "Yes" to love and "No" to fear?

Very good of Mike Stone.
Too many "Bible only" commenters use nothing but Bible quotes to back their opinion. They don't wish to realize that there is much, much more than the Bible.
A Bible quote they missed: "But there are many other things also which Jesus did, which if they were written in particular, neither the world itself, I think, were able to contain those books that should be written." Last verse of St. John's Gospel. 1582 Rheims literal translation of the Latin Vulgate, from which ALL Christian Bibles since the third century have been taken.
Translators' side note in that book concerning this verse: "How few things are written of Christ's acts and doctrine in comparison of that which He did and spoke; and yet the Heretics will needs have all in scripture, trusting not the Apostles own preaching, or report of anything that our Master did or said if it be not written." (Slight changes to modernize punctuation and spelling only.)
BTW, this English translation was made in Rheims, France, because any Catholic priest found in England at the time was murdered by the myrmidons commissioned to do so by the Crown, i.e. "Good Queen Bess," etc.
