Re: Eternal Life in John
Where your treasure is, Faith, there will your heart be also.

We are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.--Matthew Arnold
"It's a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Our Nada, who art in Nada, Nada be thy name. Hail, Nothing, full of Nothing, Nothing is with thee.--Hemingway

Re: Eternal Life in John
Could you be persuaded to expand on the point?
Your treasure is whatever you value in your heart, Faith.
That's heaven. That's it.

Re: Eternal Life in John
Thank you, that's clarifying. If your heart values the things of Hell, Robin, that's not heaven for sure, but it is where you will end up. To have eternal life you must value the things of eternal life.
Faith, lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
I was just trying to make a point that what matters are the spiritual things of life.

Re: Eternal Life in John
OK, I guess I misread you then, or you weren't as clear as I'd thought.
I've been thinking about all this lately. I've been wondering why some people are so "spiritual" and others are not. It's not like I'm a bad person.

Re: Eternal Life in John
Your very nihilism is spiritual. People who aren't spiritual don't think about such things.
Very kind of you to say so.

Re: Eternal Life in John
I just meant, concerned with the big picture. Life is a bitch, Faith. It's not easy being me. But somebody has to do it.
But I appreciate just communicating with you.
