smile, I found the definitions most helpful. I've never seen the two back to back. I've printed them and will study with more intention tomorrow morning during my Bible Study time.

DJ, I also printed your reply to do the same.

Sometimes the information shared in these forums are too much for me to grasp quickly. I need time to mull them over and consider what to keep as my own.

Song, great question. knowing there is great sweet bliss in the afterlife gives me hope and erases my fear of death.

Because my beliefs about the afterlife are rooted in my faith, I do my best to live a joyful life in relationship with Jesus Christ and humankind. I may have been living a similar life prior to my current beliefs, but my intentions had no roots other than to be a "good person". Now my intentions are grounded in Christ.
