Would your life be worth viewing?

[Crazier]

When you die, if it were possible for other's to view your life... would it be worth watching? If they could go through your life, and know exactly how you felt in every situation, could feel your instincts, and counsciousness, would people want to watch it?

Another angle: Would you want other's to watch it?

Which way would it go? Would your loved ones realize how great you were, or would they find that you were caught in a web of lies?

How would your wife or husband feel after the viewing?

How would you feel seeing them after they knew absolute truth?

I hope, and feel this will be just one awesome part of heaven.

Scared to die, I am not.

[manny78]

They would realize many things:

- That I've been growing cause of AAS not cause of those ridiculous buckets of creatine.

- That I had sex at 14 with a 12 yrs old girl

- I smoked weed at 13

- Got drunk for the first time at 12

- I tried almost every drug.

- When they were gone for a week-end cause of a funeral, I invited a good friend and had some wild sex for 3 days non-stop.

- I've been watching pornos since I'm 10

.......well honestly I dont think anyone would like to see this....

 

[frorider6]

I'm still in the prologue of my life. The main story will happen when I get back into the military as an officer. Especially if I make it into special forces.

 

[PsychoSkitz]

It'd be a psychological thriller.

Reznor does the score, King writes the screenplay, M. Night Shyamalan directs. If you like movies such as Natural Born Killers and Requiem for a Dream, you'll like this movie

 

[big4life]

Would it be interesting? I don't know, probably some parts would be.

Would I want others to see it? Nope, there are some things that I do, I share with just a few people close to me. Like my writing, while it may not be the stuff of best selling authors, it is from the heart and very personal.

 

[saint808]

mine would be a downer if it happene now... however i am still hoping for a happy ending. It would also depend on who played me and how well it was produced.

 

[boss]

i would love it if it were possible......

 

[decem]

well.. i can tell ya.. you're way off about the heaven thing.. as there is no such thing.. but that's besides the point..


i would want anyone and everyone to view my life.. i've done some shitty ass things and wasn't the best of people in my younger years.. but i've also made a wonderful transformation.. and am still transforming..

 

[Crazier]

I don't know if anyone else is missing the point... we aren't talking about Hollywood here. It would be your life, recorded, along with your feelings/emotions/ everything you ever felt from day one.

We're talking about everything being recorded, and having #'s, statistics, etc. How many times you lied in your life. An actual number. How many times you stole, cheated, fucked someone over.

Nintendo 64 can do it. So can Playstation. Hell, I think Atari could even do it. Yet, some of you don't believe the creator of the universe and everything inside it, and outside of it, wouldn't have the ability, or desire to do so?

That's what it is all about, right there.

My life would be a cross between Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Indian Runner.

Man Crazier,

You're talking about the great White Throne Judgment. And I am not looking forward to that. I am not going to like what I see it being in front of God when I see or have others see it. I lived bad in my early years and did things I am very ashamed of now. I have turned a new leaf and thankfully Jesus washed those sins away but I will still have to be accounted for them. Since I can't change the past, I am focusing on doing a better job now and in the future.

 

[Daeo]

I've had a very interesting life so far. There's alot of things I have almost posted on this board that were out of a movie. Overall in life I consider myself a nice person, but somehow alot of bad things always happen to me. That's life though...

I was hoping you would find this post. I wanted to see your response.

The White Throne Judgement? Is there actually a name for this? Is this a belief in your religion?

I have done some things in my life I'm not proud of when I was younger too curling. I think we all have. If we didn't, there would be no tests, no transformation, no way to overcome your basic desires and sins. And, without these, there would be no need for a heaven and hell. The reason there is a need for a heaven and hell is because we aren't perfect. We weren't born that way, but we all have the ability to transform into a person like Jesus and Buddha. Without these tests that we endure, Jesus and Siddhartha wouldn't be known as great people today, role models. They would be ordinary. The reason they are extraordinary is because they had the same desires and sinful nature as you and I do, yet, through time and enlightenment they saw the beauty, and realized what they could and should be as people.

Jesus' life must be a spectacular show. I don't know much of Jesus before he reached the age of 33 or so... but like every other human, while he was maturing, and finding himself, I am sure he did things he wasn't proud of. But, because he forgave himself and transformed, and realized his father would forgive him for the mistakes he made... he became a stronger person, and tried to show the world they could do the same. He said I am the son of man... he never said you and I were any less. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he said 'We are all God's children.' I know you are a Christian man... so what's your take on that?

The reason I hope there is a 'White Throne Judgement' is because of the tests. Because of the mistakes and the hardships, because of the personal struggle. Then the realization and transformation. These are all the reasons Jesus' life would be so incredible to watch. Not because he was born perfect.

On the other spectrum, I hope for a 'White Throne Judgement' for justice. To the cheaters, wife beaters, child molestors, murderer's, white collared thieves in their porsche's... all of them.
For all their loved one's to see, including children, spouses, parent's, and all of their friends.

Think about what the sinful unforgiven non transformed man would go through. Hell my friend.

Some would say karma. And that you pay it back before you die.

Just a thought.

Where the hell did I get the Karma from? As far as I've known I've treated others as I would have liked to be treated. If karma is the case then I should be caught up by now...

I hear ya man. I think I should be pretty near getting out of shit creek too. I used to be a real dick when I was younger. I just didn't know any better. If I was a dick to someone, it was funny to my friends and I. I figure those 3 straight year's of mailbox baseball and smashing garbage can's full of garbage at 75 miles an hour are about paid for.

Steal $15 from someone... you'll get screwed for $45. 3 x's back at you. That's how I live my life. Now anyway.

Keep rowing.

The great white thrown judgment is talked about here:

Rev 20:11

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life were thrown into the lake of fire.

Jesus' life must be a spectacular show. I don't know much of Jesus before he reached the age of 33 or so... but like every other human, while he was maturing, and finding himself, I am sure he did things he wasn't proud of. But, because he forgave himself and transformed, and realized his father would forgive him for the mistakes he made... he became a stronger person, and tried to show the world they could do the same.

Actually Jesus never sinned. He lived a blemish free life. That is why He was the perfect sacrafice for us.

He said I am the son of man... he never said you and I were any less. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he said 'We are all God's children.' I know you are a Christian man... so what's your take on that?

Yes we are God's children if we believe Jesus died for our sins. We are just mortals compared God and Jesus. Jesus just came to be the sacrafrice for us.

On the other spectrum, I hope for a 'White Throne Judgement' for justice. To the cheaters, wife beaters, child molestors, murderer's, white collared thieves in their porsche's... all of them.

Yes, they will be judged but if they repent of their sins and believe in Jesus, they too will enter the kingdom of Heaven.

btw Budda was a wise man but Jesus was God walking on earth in a man's body and He unlike Budda conquered death.

 

[GreekGodGenetics]

I think that would be such a gracious gift to show and view your/others lives as they lived it and felt it. That would be something extrodinary.

I think that it would be life altering for others after viewing anothers life mistakes and achievements. Wow, only if that were possible.

Great thread.

Jus' tellin' it like it is...

 

[Crazier]

The great white thrown judgment is talked about here:

Rev 20:11

A. Actually Jesus never sinned. He lived a blemish free life. That is why He was the perfect sacrafice for us.

B. Yes we are God's children if we believe Jesus died for our sins. We are just mortals compared God and Jesus. Jesus just came to be the sacrafrice for us.

C. Yes, they will be judged but if they repent of their sins and believe in Jesus, they too will enter the kingdom of Heaven.

D. btw Budda was a wise man but Jesus was God walking on earth in a man's body and He unlike Budda conquered death.

A. Wow. A man without sin. Even as a child. That's incredible.

B. So, we are only God's children if we believe that Jesus died for our sins. Well, doesn't that kind of suck, and isn't it kind of an unfair advantage to those that were born under Jewish, Islam, Buddhist views? I mean, you can be a great person, but because of the place you were born, and the views that were instilled upon you as a child... you aren't God's child and aren't able to enter the kingdom?

C. I agree. Forgiveness and repent is definately real and possible.

D. I wasn't aware that Christian's believed Jesus to be God himself. Rather, his son. As we all are. When Jesus said 'I am the way', I believe he was speaking of his character. The light he showed us is the light to heaven. I think it was the church that made it seem as though you must believe this way, and this way alone, or get cast to hell no matter how perfect you are.

That doesn't make any sense my friend.

That's why I like the Buddhist view... open minded and accepting of everyone's view that chooses to be righteous and wholesome.
They don't try and say, 'if you don't believe as us, you will be thrown into a lake of fire.'

The key to religion is love.

It is. But so it God.

Maybe I said this wrong. I do think we are all God's creation. But his children are the ones who bellieve in Him. You see God is Holy and can not look at sin. So He gave his commandments and the only people who followed them were the Jews(that is why they are his chosen people because they believed in Him and followed his laws). So God in his mercy sent His son as the perfect sacrafice for the sin man has committed against God so we could be forgiven and still enter the Kingdom of God. I don't think you will go to Hell if you are never given the opportunity to hear the Gospel. It is only when you reject God's gift someone will suffer the consequences.

D. I wasn't aware that Christian's believed Jesus to be God himself. Rather, his son. As we all are. When Jesus said 'I am the way', I believe he was speaking of his character. The light he showed us is the light to heaven. I think it was the church that made it seem as though you must believe this way, and this way alone, or get cast to hell no matter how perfect you are.

This is where it gets confusing. God is the father but Jesus is a part of him as he is a part of Jesus along with the Holy Spirit which makes the Trinity. So Jesus was devine being in Heaven with God when God asked him to be the sacrafice so more people could enter his kingdom because of his love for us.

That's why I like the Buddhist view... open minded and accepting of everyone's view that chooses to be righteous and wholesome.
They don't try and say, 'if you don't believe as us, you will be thrown into a lake of fire.'

What could be more loving than a Father sending his son to die for you and mankind. Remember religion is man's attempt to find God, Jesus was God's attempt to find man.
