Wow! A great effort and somewhat poetic, umliak! Is this your interpretation of the meaning of life in a nutshell? I am curious. Are you influenced by some things that you have read, or are you giving us your written opinion of the meanings contained in your thread?
Do you see us all becoming a great ashes to ashes, dust to dust sort of finale whereafter the curtain lifts and God the director comes on stage to renew us?
Often we (here at EvC) quibble over the meaning and purpose of our future. Some of us believe that humanity is imperfect and is predestined to end in its current state. God will intervene and correct our bullish free wills. Meaning is found in our relationship to God.
Others of us, Sidelined and Rrhain come to mind, offer that we are mere bit actors in a much larger universal drama. We are part of a cosmic dance of creativity which is an ongoing and vibrant march towards greater diversity and form. To them, the meaning is not to be focused on us as dancers, but the meaning and homage is to be paid to the dance itself!
Whaddaya think, umliak? Any further thoughts?

Re: Tongues
Sidelined! Be nice! One reason that I have heard is because demons who are everywhere cannot understand the tongues and so God alone gets the message without Beezlebub running interference. I also have heard African tribesman who were supposedly possessed by demons using the same sounding tongues, so...

Re: Earth and Heaven
Umliak, I have a question for you. Speaking as one bible guy to another, what interpretation or meaning do you give this scripture?
2 Peter 1:20-21= Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
