I’ve heard a lot of people question how they can be happy in heaven knowing that friends and loved ones are experiencing eternal torment in Hell. I’ve not had a good answer, but was leaning to believing that when we experience God’s absolute majesty and holiness, we will agree 100% with His judgment and the feeling of righteousness will overwhelm the feeling of sadness. Although I think there is some truth to that thought, this verse has made me think that isn’t the whole story. “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.” (Isaiah 65:17) Scripture says that “he former things will not be remembered or come to mind.” It looks like one reason we will not be sad is because we won’t remember our sin, hardship, loss, and those who are not with us in heaven. Keep reading the Bible. There is always more to learn #grownostr #biblestr #Bible #Jesus #jesus #christian #christianity #heaven #EndTimes

I just ordered a proof book for my second book "Joy in the Storm: Growing my faith in a very good God." I've had the book written for a year, but editing and formatting took a long time since my editors are working for free and I've been too busy, for the past 6 months, to do the formatting. When I finally did, I had some major problems. There must have been some ghost character that was locking up my book editor. It feels really good to be at this point. I'll let everyone know when the paperback and when the ebooks are available. If anyone DMs me their email and zaps 100 sats, I can email the .mobi or .epub version to you. Offer good July 2025. (at least good for the first 10+ requests. I don't want to get a massive quantity and cause myself too much work, individually emailing everyone.) #biblestr #Bible #Jesus #Christian #christianity

Too often we are given the false dichotomy of faith or logic. Faith in our Creator is logical and factual. It doesn’t require blind faith. It can be rightly defended logically, factually, and even scientifically. “And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.” (Acts 19:8) Science and logic can’t conclusively prove God, but they do actually agree with and support the Bible. Those that say otherwise are either working hard to disprove the God they don’t want to submit to or they are starting with false assumptions and therefore coming to false conclusions. #grownostr #biblestr #Bible #christian #christianity
