Who is "Our Blessed Mother"? Where in the Bible does it speak of our blessed Mother?
I have things on earth I want to straighten out and change in my life about me and show my loved ones it was not me, it was God that changed me so they'll come to Jesus too.
We're suppose to not be selfish and supposed to try to bring other people to Jesus so they can be with Him. God uses us to do so, so I want to live and have an impact on people on earth and bring as many people to God as I can. I plan to go on missions also. It's not ALL ABOUT ME, it's about other people on earth.

Jews need to wake up and read the N.T.
It's obvious the O.T. was pointing toward Jesus, the Christ.
For some reason Jews hated Jesus, they're making their choice where they will be. Seems they still hate Jesus.
It seems to be the way of Jews, wandering in the wilderness.
Some days that sounds VERY tempting. I couldn't leave my kids/family behind on purpose though.
That sounds cool sometimes to me too. Would be fun to take drastically different paths than I did to experience more neat things. I cant really complain too much, but some "adventure" would be cool.

That is my thoughts on the situation. I love every moment of life, even the bad ones. I'd love to live 200, 300 years or more.

Don't dodge the question, the hypothetical is that you WILL go to heaven. Would you push the button?
But....who would run the Olive Oil business?:nono: Everyone is sure they are indispensible right up to their death-bed. I don't have that delusion...
If all things would be equal in the grand scheme of things I'd blow this Taco Stand the first opportunity.lain:
lain: On topic.....No, I wouldn't hit the button. There are things I still want to do in this life. That wouldn't be an easy decision though.

Yes, I might disappear through a trapdoor instead but show me a button and I'll push it.
Why worry about a fictional place (purgatory)? or confessing your sin before a person that is as much of a dirty rotten sinner as you are? There is only one confession for sin to made, and it aint to any mortal man. Jesus Christ died once, for all sin, for all men/women, for all time. Why you do not believe the Bible instead of that tired, erroneous catholic doctrine is beyond me. Salvation rests in Jesus Christ's sacrifice alone, not in the doctrinal contrivances of the catholic church. Just Sayin...
"He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. [Matthew 10:37] [Latin] [38] And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me" (Matthew 10:37-38).
I don't like the "button" set up of the OP. It should have been more like: "If God told you right now that He would make you worthy to enter heaven, if only you agreed to die right now, would you say 'yes'?" Or something like that.
But either way, the answer should have been obvious.

I and many others have read it. I've read it, studied it tried to live it. I found it lacking, very much so.
No, it isn't at all obvious. You see what you want to see.
Listen, just because a person doesn't want to sign up for your religion which focuses all it's energy on a dead guy and an afterlife it can't prove doesn't mean we hate him. Okay? Get a grip. Our world doesn't revolve around hating your demigod.
Then you must be careful, there may be a trap door if you use an out house :rotfl:
Knight worded it just fine. Don't nit pick. :sibbie:
And I suggest you read SoJ's post in the 1st page.
I thought this was Iowa...

But Trad is right; SoJ's is much different than yours.
My alternative phrasing would be "If God wished to take you tomorrow, would you be willing to go?"
I am also attached to the things of this world.
