Will God Bring Heaven & Earth Together? NT Wright on 100 Huntley Street (HD)

(HD) Transcript: "The bible uses heaven to mean, Gods space which intersects at the moment in various strange ways with our space. But one day, well be fully integrated. The bible actually describes that as a marriage of heaven and earth. Its as though heaven and earth have a kind of risky engagement at the moment. But one day there will be this marriage and they will be together. So when we go to heaven, that will be with God, with Christ. But when God brings heaven and earth together...think about it as the new creation, and the ultimate state. Thats the key thing."

That is sooo Jewish. And cool. The Ancient of Days will reign among us on the earth!

@lovelytrudy . That is a good question. God wants a people who choose to love him, not under any compulsion. He did not make us robots, but gave us a free will. God did not make us sinners either. He made us with the possibility of rejecting Him, and our first father, Adam, rejected God, and suffered the consequences; for in rejecting Life, he took upon him, death, and suffering and so forth. Bless your heart!

@inphasesith well, The bible doesn't speak specifically about what heaven looks like. I think that God wants that to be a surprise. so heaven might not be a planet alone, it might be the ability for us to dwell within the universe. or not. but the concept of heaven and earth joining together doesn't really say that we are the special, but rather we are not special enough yet. as heaven is.

[inphasesith]

I'm sorry but this does not move me...there are multiple other planets in this universe that sustain other life similar to ours what makes us special? If god created us in his image who created the other beings on other worlds? (I am not an atheist i fully believe in god)

@lovelytrudy Where does it say in Gospel that God created sin or sinners? As I read the root source in OT where the snake tricks Adam and Eve and they misquote the snake, the Original Sin of

1 wanting to live for ever,

2 wanting to be a human deity,

3 wanting to use taboos and totems absolutes after God banned them

4 wanting open eyes when their eyes were already open

5 indulging shame ideas and veiling their privates from a God who sees all,

6 lying to God

has "sin" as idolatrous error. Bless.

2012 will only be the realisation of a big "awakening". A lot of major events will happen to make the world realise and BELIEVE that changes have started to bring the LOVE & LIGHT back on Earth.

2012 will NOT be the end of the world either.

@lovelytrudy To make us learn throughout our mistakes. God is in each of us and can read our heart.

Life on Earth is about learning from all experiences good and bad. God has given us free will so one can chose the easy option which is darkness or the Light which demands more efforts. The choice is ours.

Your soul or subconscious is the blueprint of all yours lives so all the answers are within you.

God forgives us all but never forgets...Hence karma to be paid. ;-)

God created Heaven & Earth so, yes, I think he will bring them together eventually. First he will clean the Earth of its darkness that has become too strong on Earth creating an unbalanced world. A lot of people have been sent to Earth to raise its vibrations. The battle againt Darkness has already started. The Light will prevail. Humans have been destroying their beautiful planet Earth. How far will we go? Is it not already too late? Nature itself is fighting back. LOVE will restore the Earth.

Why didn't God create all man saints, not sinners?
