SCIENCE AND HEAVEN.

The next few billion years are going to see a lot of evolution and progress. If Heaven didn’t exist, we’d build it. If God didn’t exist we’d evolve into Him. The Human race has nothing better to do with its future than spread life to other habitats, evolve into God and build Heaven. The Bible says we are the Body of Christ and individually members of Him, (1 Corinthians 12:27). And that "speaking the Truth in Love we are to grow up in EVERY WAY into the Head, into Christ." (Ephesians 4:15) "Every way" must include evolution too. Our species is tenacious. We saw birds fly, we learned to build machines that let us fly. We want the Moon, we go there. We want God and Heaven so badly we will shape the Universe to fulfill our desires. Every doctor trying to prolong life is working towards Eternal Life. Every scientist working to improve computers is building Heaven. There is a "How" to Heaven as well as a "WHY." The "WHY" of Heaven is "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that all who believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." The "How" of Heaven is science. Christ said, "I go to PREPARE a place for you." Heaven is a BUILT place just like Disney World, Manhattan or the International Space Station. Christ is a Carpenter not a Magician.

The Bible is self fulfilling prophesy. Christ is Head of the Humanity and the Universe because we WANT Him to be. Buddha could have had the position but from reading both their words we can tell, Buddha did not want it. Christ does.

Once Christ evolves beyond the time space bubble it is easy to enter it again at any and every point and create the Universe He evolves in and guide His own growth. Ephesians 4:10."He who descended is also He who ascended far above all the Heavens that He might fill all things." John 15:1. "I Am the True Vine, my Father is the Vinedresser. The Changeless Father guides the growth of His Son. Inside the time space bubble the Son grows and evolves as does all Life but (John 10:30). "The Father and I are One." The Universe is a nest in which God raises Himself.

Brains are simply computers based on carbon instead of silicon. Every computer must have an operating system. That is what we call a soul. Like any operating system they can be upgraded to a better hardware system. That’s what Heaven is.But there is a problem. All our operating systems/souls have "bugs." You can call them faults, flaws, sins, viruses, mental baggage, it does not matter what you call them, but if Christ allowed these "bugs" into Heaven, soon it would be no better than the beta test environment we are living in now. An operating system with viruses in it will soon contaminate any network it is connected with. But we cannot get rid of all of these "bugs" ourselves, no matter how hard we try. Like all operating systems we must be saved and debugged by our Maker. That’s the reason Christ taught that in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, one must be "Born Again." Christ wants to indwell you, install a program, (Himself) in you that will debug your system and hook you up to His network (Body). You have free will and always will. ( A Universe without free will would be its OWN kind of Hades)! Because you have free will you can refuse Him, but don’t! I do not know what Hell is, but there are plenty of places in the natural Universe that can qualify. Even the eventual fate of this Universe, unmodified by Life would qualify. You don’t want to end up there by default because you never asked Christ to indwell you and debug you! Even if there were no Heaven you are much better off with Him than without Him! The peace He brings is worth it all by itself if there were no other benefits, but there are many other benefits! I know. I’ve done it. I speak of what I know and have experienced for myself, not just what I believe. I do not know if other religions work, or not. I do know asking Christ to indwell you does work. I testify only to what I know, works. Christians are witnesses, not just believers.

Like all Great Leaders, the Buck stops with Christ. He took responsibility for all our faults Himself, during His Earthly life, during His death on the cross and forever. He knew we could not debug ourselves. God is more complex than us, not less. He who both created us and grows out of us has feelings and desires just as we do. Our silly and tragic bugs frustrate Him just as the bugs of any Programmer's creation frustrate the Programmer. But He turned His frustration inward. He did not take it out on us. That’s what the cross was all about. It was as if He smashed His fist down on His desk and hurt his own hand instead of smashing the work He was working on. It was brutal, but it got our attention and the Human race has never been so cruel ever again. From that moment on, where ever Christ’s Network spread, gradually, oh so slowly, Human sacrifice stopped, the hungry got fed and the sick got medical treatment, not perfectly yet by any means, but there is a start! Our world has flaws yet, such terrible flaws! But slowly progress is being made in every area. God is far from finished with us. In the meantime, when you get mad at God or each other, (and yes you do and will, all Humans do), remember Christ took responsibility for every last fault and punished Himself far harder than you ever would for every single one of them.

Note, the following won’t work unless you are truly willing to let God debug you. If you want to hang onto your faults, if you value you little vices more than you value living forever in love with Christ, you might as well quit reading this now. Oh but let Him come LOVE you from the inside out, from the deepest marrow of your being outwards! You have NEVER been LOVED like that before!

The "How to Get to Heaven and find Peace Prayer"

Dear Lord Jesus, thanks for taking responsibility for my faults yourself. Please forgive my faults, come indwell me, and work in me from the inside out to overcome those faults and help me to forgive all others their faults. Be my Friend and My Lord and My Savior forever. Help me to bring others to you. Amen.

Come enjoy life with Christ! Revelation. 3:20-21. "Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into him and eat with him and he with me. He who conquers I will grant him to sit with me on my throne as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on His throne." Christ loves Life. He loves to eat and experience things through us. He’s fun.

2 Corinthians 13:5 "Test Yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is within you. Unless indeed you fail to meet the test!"Don’t fail the test!
