Like I said before it’s not always a straight line but the beauty of lessons is that they will keep being brought back until they are learned.You call it evolution, I call it getting old. All evolution is change, not all change is evolution.Of course your consciousness is evolving. Evolution occurs when anything moves from a less advanced state to a more advanced state.As for individual consciousness, I don't see it as evolving, more like accumulating experience
You gaining knowledge is a more advanced state.
That depends entirely on you.It doesn't get any better than this? A depressing thought. What happened to evolving, won't we continue to change?I call it the conflict and confusion process and this process repeated itself over and over again until matter and energy reached its potential. Which in our present state is beings that know and create.
Are you a child of God? Isn't everyone ?
How do you know? There is only one way to find out but you can believe
There’s only one Creator, Hollie. I would have thought you being Jewish and all that you would have already known this.Are you a child of God? Isn't everyone ?
How do you know? There is only one way to find out but you can believe
With all the various gods running around, how do you know you weren’t an illegitimate child of some good ole’ fashion gawdly, ummmm, boinking?

Is that what you believe?
I'm guessing every creature has thought, "it can't get any better than this". That would include Australopithecus, homo erectus, Neanterthals, etc.That depends entirely on you.It doesn't get any better than this? A depressing thought. What happened to evolving, won't we continue to change?
Why is this a depressing thought to you?
How much better do you want it to be? Haven’t you already won the cosmic lottery?
It gets better because of the conflict and confusion process not in spite of the conflict and confusion process.I'm guessing every creature has thought, "it can't get any better than this".

Personally, I think it can and will get better. Even in my short lifetime I've seen some progress.
By GRACE are ye saved lest any man should boast.I’m a good guy who doesn’t respect the behavior of gays or others with deviant sexual proclivities.
I’ll be welcomed into heaven.
So what has gotten better since Jesus' time?So it’s not going to get better by itself without conflict and diversity but there is a law of compensation at work that seeks equilibrium and order and uses diversity and conflict to achieve it. That’s God’s plan. Which is why they say that all things work for good.
Pretty much everything. Of course it hasn’t always been a straight line. There have been ups and downs; ebbs and flows. Sometimes it’s been two steps forward and one step backwards.So what has gotten better since Jesus' time?So it’s not going to get better by itself without conflict and diversity but there is a law of compensation at work that seeks equilibrium and order and uses diversity and conflict to achieve it.

Yes, it was most impressive. Yes, you did seem to get it.A triple negative! Very impressive but unclear. I think you're saying you don't know your fate and on a conscious level I'm sure that is true. I believe you consider yourself a devout Christian, a believer in Christ, etc. I also think that in your heart you believe you're following the rules and that means heaven. You'd never presume to say it out loud but... Of course, I could be completely off. Who knows what's in your heart? Do you?Doesn’t my not knowing my fate count as someone who doesn’t believe he’s not going to heaven?I'm an agnostic/atheist but, if there is a heaven, I think I'd be welcomed in. It may be very crowded since I've never met anyone who didn't believe they were going to heaven.Are you a child of God? How do you know?
As to your belief that I secretly know my fate, that’s wrong.
You might try reading the catechism. Because it teaches that we do not know our fate or anyone else’s fate.
Better to err on the side of caution. Lest one think Jesus knows him when in fact he does not.DING-
