My friend Demetrios, you are a fountain of wisdom. In fact, sinful souls will not be able to enjoy God's heaven. Until the day of judgment, there'll be a great deal of regret.

The wicked have had their reward here on earth, I hope they think it was worth it. There will be many disappoints on judgement day. Tom

They say it's easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle...etc., etc. I don't know, but I think a way will be made for every soul God breathed life into.

My dear brother in Christ, your quotation of Genesis says it all. None can return to God unless he will become God-like. My studies in philosophy and metaphysics allows me to firmly defend this point. Please, see Matthew 5: 48 " Be ye therefore perfect, as even as your Father in heaven is perfect." Blessings, my brother.

I can assure you, as a last word, that God does not fail, so God will bring every soul created into some reconciliation with Himself. "And God breathed into man the breath of life and man became a living soul." That God-breathed soul will come into God's kingdom.

I do not mean that, Demetrios, at all. There is such a thing as punishment, here or in the beyond, but I do believe that Christ shed his blood for ALL of God's children, and I believe that there will be a way for all who believe, of whatever faith tradition. In my way of thinking, one does not experience the spirit of God until one believes. It is interesting, too, that the most wicked individuals, including the dictators, will tell you they are believers! Many, many people, children especially, experience hell here on earth.

I think you know that when we talk about Camel we do not mean the animal but a thick rope that we tie the ships at the harbor. However, I do not understand what you mean when you say: " I think a way will be made for every soul God breathed life into." Do you mean each one of us can commit crimes , take lives, steal, rape etc and still will get into paradise, no matter what? I think God has made it clear. One has to follow divinity's path for to pass through heaven's gates, otherwise he will end up somewhere else. Probably, a wicked soul will get a second chance but I am certain, as long as it remains wicked it cannot enter , my dearest friend. Happy Easter!
