The bible is a great story. I respect those who believe, but put no stock in it myself.

will i get my b2?![]()
Leap year, smeap year, did anyone think about the difference in the early Julian year verus the Gregorian one, only about ten days difference which would have put "The Day" yesterday. Good triva question - what was the date George Washington was born on?Did the Bible (or writers thereof) take into account the extra day each Leap Year?
So, I have to ask. Over the last 20+million years just who got to go to heaven? Let me clarify:
If I understand humans have been on earth for 20 or so million years. GOD created us. It's only been 2011 years since Christ was born....right.
So, now lets assume that Christ began his work in his 20's( I foolishly don't know). So is it only those people who believe in Christ and do his work and admit to being sinners and ask for forgiveness that are allowed in Heaven? Catholics believe that babys go to limbo as they certainly weren't of age to be sinners but that's another whole question: How long to the stay in limbo?
So, now lets assume that there have been oh, 5 billion believers, who have been saved, do Christ's work and have ask for and been given forgiveness that have gone to heaven since Jesus has been doing his work.
How big is Heaven? Do the people there have the same concept of space that we do? Space meaning size not infinity.
Considering that 99% of the worlds population changes completely in 100 years there ought to be many 100s of millions if not billions in Heaven. I was also wondering if only Christians get to go to Heaven. That would reduce the number there probably by 2/3rds. This is also assuming that only 50% are approved.
Just wondering.

That's the trick part of the triva question, we down here celebrate it on the 22nd but he was born on the 12, he was born on the old Julian calender. Your explaination on the day of his birth makes sense to me, almost.Washington was born on a Sunday...that's why everyone who honors him does a Ton of Washing on Sunday...
As for the date, wasn't it February 22? The only reason I know this is because I have a USA penny with his picture on it and when I rub it it speaks to me...
20 million years!!!!!??????
The earth is only 13 thousand years old!
I just heard some guy on the radio that's given up his job, wife, son, and home because he is so enthralled in this mess. maybe he'll realize his mistake before it's too late. What I find to be most amazing about this deal, is these guys are literally claiming to have outsmarted God by "decoding" the Bible. the Bible doesn't have "codes"...it is systematically arranged by God though.
will i get my b2?like the man said...you get to Heaven--you get your born-again B2(did you ever watch that t.v. show _Pimp My Ride_.....In your case it would be _God Did My Ride_
The bible is a great story. Glad you liked it! I respect those who believe, but put no stock in it myself. Without faith...the Bible will never seem real...God gives faith to whoever asks for it...
It will have to be a Born-Again BII...See! Mark said it already!
So, I have to ask. Over the last 20+million years just who got to go to heaven? Who decided it was 20,000,000 years? Let me clarify: O.K.
If I understand humans have been on earth for 20 or so million years. Again, 20 mill. GOD created us. Yes-Absolutely! We agree! It's only been 2011 years since Christ was born....right. approximately, yes.
So, now lets assume that Christ began his work in his 20's( I foolishly don't know). not foolish....possibly 29 or 30. So is it only those people who believe in Christ and do his work and admit to being sinners and ask for forgiveness that are allowed in Heaven? Yes & no...the scriptures state that those that have never been told about Jesus will be judged according to the state of their heart (ability to love others) Catholics believe that babys go to limbo as they certainly weren't of age to be sinners but that's another whole question: How long to the stay in limbo? Zero minutes....there is no limbo...God gives babies a free pass because............they're babies!
So, now lets assume that there have been oh, 5 billion believers, who have been saved, do Christ's work and have ask for and been given forgiveness that have gone to heaven since Jesus has been doing his work. O.K.....that sounds on the low side, but let's go with it.
How big is Heaven? The CITY in Heaven is approximately 1,500 MILES wide by 1,500 miles long by 1,500 miles high...with multiple layers(levels) Do the people there have the same concept of space that we do? Good question.....I don't know Space meaning size not infinity.
Considering that 99% of the worlds population changes completely in 100 years there ought to be many 100s of millions if not billions in Heaven. I was also wondering if only Christians get to go to Heaven. No...jews/synthians/barbarians/arabs/atheists/even italians....as long as they ask Jesus to be their savior before they take their last breath. That would reduce the number there probably by 2/3rds. This is also assuming that only 50% are approved.
Just wondering. Good job of wondering....When St.John was allowed to see the City of Heaven, he noted that there were so many humans in Heaven that he couldn't even approximate the number of people he saw.
Leap year, smeap year, did anyone think about the difference in the early Julian year verus the Gregorian one, only about ten days difference which would have put "The Day" yesterday. Good point about "the end!" Good triva question - what was the date George Washington was born on?

.20 million years!!!!!??????
The earth is only 13 thousand years old! 2 billion/13,000/6,000....God will reveal the correct answer in Heaven.....
Trivia answer: Did you know that when you allow Jesus to be your Savior, your name is written in a large book that contains the names of all the people on earth from Day 1 who have accepted Jesus as their Savior?
This got the reaction I expected, glad everyone enjoyed it.
