These are my thoughts...and how I process my relationship with God. God is Love. That's all you need to know. Love doesn't know hatred, anger, punishment. When we die, we all become one with our creator. The rest is an unknown adventure. "Hell" is created in our own minds and we suffer in it, here in our life on Earth, as a result of our individual conscious disconnect from God. We can choose to live our lives in hell, or choose to live our lives in heaven. Jesus was trying to explain unexplainable things to us, but always with the basic message, "God is Love, and God Loves all". I have experienced many wonderful revelations from the Bible, but none from the book titled, "Revelations". This book, I believe, consists of rantings from a man who had a psychotic hallucination for whatever reason, and maybe the story wrapped up the events of the New Testament very strangely, but very nicely, according to some early "scholars". Let's not forget that the Bible is a book assembled by men. "God inspired"...yes...but "God inspired" alongside countless texts written throughout history. Love God, love yourself and love others. That's all you have to remember. That's all you have to know. Be blessed every day. Peace.
