If people cannot tackle talk about the Bible they will just have to skip that post or respond
the discrepancy between the OT and the NT is plain for all to see and stirs strong opinions and emotions
some toss out the OT some the NT and some burns the Book from cover to cover
fine fine do what you want but have the decency to accept there are those that keep the Book
it is unfortunate that the Bible does not speak so much about the Spirit the celestial and the infernal spheres - it is almost terrestrial exclusive except some clues like for example the wheel of Elijah
it is not so out of the question and unimaginable that there are devices of transportation both in the celestial and the infernal

This reminds me of a quite common situation. For example you have the extra payed job. You worked hard for 25 years and now finally you are in position to earn 300000$ annually.
You earned it with your hard work, better performance on your job with each year passing by , with your better quality of everything connected with that work. Also you invested time ,25 years, to upgrade from starting 25000$ to now 300000$...
Suddenly a new employee sees how you run things smoothly and how it is "easy" the thing what you do perfectly and he now want your wage! He doesn`t want to start with 25000$ but wishes your 300000$ NOW!!!
Without learning, hard work, effort or else, he wants that salary now or else he is not interested...
What would you think about that new employee???
Well
beside harsh words you would probably say: " wait a second fella`... you want WHAT??? WTF??? Pardon my *(^&*(&..."
It maybe sounds over simplified but that`s the way with us ,humans.
I think that Bible is not telling many things to us now, just basics . It gives glimpses and peeks in what is out there but it does not gives all.
Why?
Simply we can not have all that exalted and high thing on this stage of our conscience.
Simply we`re too young and still too ignorant.
Would you give your brand new Rolls-Royce to a four year old kid and say:" go take a drive." ????
Would you give your infant a lightener and say play with it?
Would you give your child a sharp knife and let him play?
Would you throw your non swimming child into a pool and carelessly sit beside watching him how he/she is learning to swim???
Would you leave your teenagers with 30000$ cash and empty house for a week?
Would you allow your kid to harass other kids with words that it`s OK for him/her in order to learn?
Would you allow your kid to burn the house just to see how is it?
Answer is certain-NO.
So my understanding is that -no matter that we think we know, now, we are still kids in deep need of growing up.
All that things will be given to us one day, but we need to grow up first and to finally be aware and see.
How many people in the world,do you think , are at least talking about all that we talk on this forum???
0.0001 %
Why?
They are ignorant and they don`t care about this but still they would like fancy technology, weapons and vehicles to travel the stars and yet they didn`t learn how to wipe their ass so far!
But at least people on this forum and some on other areas in this world are trying to move from mud , to actually do something and that is encouraging!
