Do Christians go to heaven when they die or are they in the grave until the rapture?
When will we use our intelligence to realize the Truth? Till when will we believe in the stories of Santa Claus? When will we realize that nobody goes to heaven? Heaven is on earth and it is experienced when we take rebirth. When will we realize the Truth about what happens to us when we die? Don’t we see that we are putting the body in a coffin to be buried under the ground? Do we have the slightest doubt that if we open the coffin we will find the skeleton and the remains of the dead body? When will we accept reality? When will we stop blindly believing in scriptures and when will we question? Only when we truly love God, when we truly seek God then we will go in quest of the Divine Spirit. We will pray to the father, believe in the son but realize that the kingdom of God is within, that God lives in the temple of our heart - Luke 17:20-21, Corinthians 3:16. We must interpret the scriptures correctly and not believe in fairy tales.

Myths and legends
Balinese myths and legends are retold to each new generation so that their lessons and morals are constantly passed on. They are most commonly passed down by parents or grandparents to children through the oral retelling of stories. Different art forms are also a popular way of expressing many of the island's myths and legends. The Balinese people often tell their stories through dance, drama, textile designs, puppetry and music.
Balinese myths and legends are often filled with characters of animals with human characteristics, spirits, ghosts, magic and ordinary people who overcome extraordinary situations. Many stories are important as they teach children ideas about their land, traditions and customs.
Kbo Iwo
Kbo Iwo is the myth which tells how Bali's Lake Batur and Mount Batur were formed (see image 1). It is believed that there was once a giant as tall as a mountain who roamed the island, called Kbo Iwo. He would help the Balinese people build temples and villages, dig ditches and cut terraces out of the hillsides for rice paddies. All he asked for in return for his help was food. His appetite was enormous, however, and there was never enough food to satisfy him. His hunger would sometimes make him angry and he would destroy the things that he helped to build and then eat the villagers.
One year there was a very poor harvest of food and the Balinese people could barely feed themselves, much less a giant. This angered Kbo Iwo so much that he rampaged across the island, killing and destroying everything in sight until all the homes, rice fields and temples were ruined. The people were very angry with Kbo Iwo and gathered together to decide how to stop him. They planned to make friends with the giant again and then kill him.
The people begged Kbo Iwo to help rebuild the temples, homes and rice fields that he had destroyed in his rampage. The giant agreed and worked at replacing everything that he had destroyed. The Balinese people then asked him to build a well, which he started digging. As he dug, the earth piled high next to the well. The pile was as high as a mountain.
After eating, the giant fell asleep in the well. Whilst he was sleeping the people poured huge amounts of lime (a sticky substance) down the well. The lime set around the giant and when he woke up he was unable to escape.
The well then began to fill with water and it soon overflowed to become a lake. Today many believe that the lake is Lake Batur, Bali's largest lake. The pile of earth that Kbo Iwo dug out of the well is believed to be Mount Batur, Bali's third-largest volcanic mountain.
The Ramayana
The Ramayana, or The Story of Rama, is one of the most well-known stories in Indonesia. It originates from India but has been modified over the last 2000 years. It is an epic tale known by almost all Balinese people because it has been told so many times. Shadow puppets are used in the most common form of its retelling (Wayang Kulit - see image 2). This performance uses shadow puppets to retell the story over many hours.
The basic storyline of the Ramayana legend is that there was a king who exiled his eldest son, the prince, to the forests of Dandaka for 14 years. The prince, Rama, went without question but his wife, Sita, and one of his brothers, Laksmana, would not leave his side and went into the forest with him.
They began to build a home and because the forest was filled with evil and unknown creatures, the prince created an invisible wall around the house to protect his wife.
A monster king, Rawana, discovered the home and saw Sita and thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He plotted with his brother to kidnap Sita.
Rama and Laksmana, on discovering Sita was gone, began searching for her. The bird Jatayu, king of the birds, had seen what had happened but had been stabbed and was dying. He was able to tell Rama what he had seen before dying.
Rama and Laksmana headed towards the kingdom of the monkeys and their king, Sugriwa, agreed to help them find Sita. Once they reached the coast, there was no way to cross the sea. The monkeys worked for seven days and seven nights to create a causeway (a path over water) using boulders and tree trunks. They crossed immediately and were confronted by an army of giants sent by Rawana. The monkeys, however, defeated the giants.
A number of battles occurred after they defeated the giants. During one battle, Rama sped towards Rawana shooting arrows as he ran. Although his arrows would not kill Rawana, they were able to push him further backwards until he slammed into two boulders and became stuck. The two rocks began to crush him. It was believed the rocks contained the souls of his two daughters whom he had killed. He was imprisoned between these rocks until he died.
Rama ran Rawana's palace where he found Sita alive and unharmed. Rama, Sita and Laksmana returned to the forest to continue their 14 years of exile. On returning to their kingdom, Rama was made rightful king and ruled his people for many years.
Other Balinese myths and legends
The Balinese culture is filled with many myths and legends about all aspects of life from creation to death.
Antaboga
Antaboga (the world serpent) comes from traditional Balinese mythology. It is believed that Antaboga was the only thing to exist at the beginning of time and through meditation it created the turtle Bedwang (the world turtle). It is thought that all other creations came from Bedwang.
Rangda
According to traditional Balinese mythology, Rangda was a terrifying demon queen. She led an army of evil witches who fought againt Barong, who led the forces of good. The word rangda means widow in Indonesia and many people believe that this myth is based on reality.
There was once a Javanese queen, Manendradatta, who was exiled by her husband, Dharmodayana, for using witchcraft. The queen took revenge and began to kill the kingdom with a plague. She was finally stopped by a holy man and it is believed that Rangda was this queen in some form. The Balinese culture depicts Rangda's struggles with Barong and her son in a popular drama/dance. She is most often depicted as having long and messy hair, claws, fangs, and big eyes.

What do you believe about the coming judgment?
I believe the idea of judgement day reaches back to the Old Testament concepts of divine judgement and the Day of the Lord. The New Testament teaches that divine judgement is a present and future reality and that no one will escape it (Acts 17:30-31). Chief future events include Jesus' return, the millennium, the last judgement, the final resurrection, and heaven and hell. As part of what I believe about the coming judgement, I do not believe in a pretribulation rapture or dispensationalism. That is to say, I do not believe that Jesus will return secretly to rapture His church and come again 7 years later with His church to establish a thousand year age replete with temple sacrifices. That is not what the Bible teaches. I believe that the second coming/bodily return of Christ and the rapture/resurrection of believers are simultaneous events.
Another Answer:
Speaking within Christianity, there are many 'interpretations' as to what this 'Great White Throne Judgment' will entail. Many in mainstream Christianity wrongly interprets this event to be a 'condemnation' of millions if not billions of human beings who never converted to 'their' Christianity during their lifetimes. These they tell others are condemned to eternal hellfire. But this is not Scriptural and may indeed be more in line with Dante's Inferno of literature.
It is contrary to the God presented in the Bible to allow the wholesale condemnation of billions of human beings. Consider this from Paul:
1 Timothy 2:3-4New King James Version (NKJV)3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Think for a moment of all those souls who died - past, present and future - without ever hearing of Jesus Christ, or those who may have heard but never fully understood biblical truth. How about all those of other faiths who may have heard of Christ but follow another as their one and only Way. Will a just God of the Bible simply condemn all these - NO, is the answer from the Bible.
There are many places that describe the approaching judgement process - not a trial and sentencing as some teach - and there will be those who will perish in the second death - those unrepentant incorrigibly wicked people - but the vast majority will be changed into sons and daughters in the God Family as is our Father's Plan with His only currently begotten Son. And death here is not merely separation from God as some teach:
Ecclesiastes 9:5New King James Version (NKJV)5 For the living know that they will die;
But the dead know nothing,
And they have no more reward,
For the memory of them is forgotten.
In short then, I believe what the Scriptures tells us, especially here:
Revelation 20:11-15New King James Version (NKJV)
The Great White Throne Judgment11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,[a]and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.[b]15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Footnotes:- Revelation 20:12 NU-Text and M-Text read the throne.
- Revelation 20:14 NU-Text and M-Text add the lake of fire
I just wanted to make a point here from what is said above:
It is really true from what Apostle Paul said in:
1 Timothy 2:3-4New King James Version (NKJV)3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Yea, God desire is to see all men being saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. But that does not mean that if a billion or trillion of them are not being saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, they wouldn't be punish or throw into the lake of fire.
Additional Comment:
Based on what is said above by a brother that: Think for a moment of all those souls who died - past, present and future - without ever hearing of Jesus Christ, or those who may have heard but never fully understood biblical truth. How about all those of other faiths who may have heard of Christ but follow another as their one and only Way. Will a just God of the Bible simply condemn all these - NO, is the answer from the Bible.
I will like to comment to this by using Romans 2:12;
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Thus, the simple truth is that all those who died in the past, present or in the future without even hearing of Jesus Christ will be judge and condemn by that fact and all those who have hear of Him will also be judge and condemn by what they know of Him and did not follow.. Those of other faiths, that have heard of Jesus Christ but decided to follow their one and only way will still be judge and condemn by their act and did. Everyone will be judge either by the law or out of the law.
Where in the bible does it say that seasons will change in the end days?
I have checked this out and there seems to be no biblical basis that backs up the theory that the seasons will change toward the end.
First, it should be noted that most scholars, including those who are experts on the Mayans, believe the current internet stories are myths and should not be believed. It is also worth noting that many previous predictions about the end of the world have proved totally untrue. That said, the current estimate, based on one particular interpretation of the Mayan calendar, is that the world as we know it will end on 21 December 2012, and a major transformation will occur at that time.
What do Muslims believe about angels and judgment?
- Muslims believe in all God Angels.
- Muslims believe in having the last Day of Judgment. On this day, your deeds will be judged by God. Accordingly, having good deeds, you will be rewarded, by God mercy, by eternal life in the Paradise. If having bad deeds, you will punished by Pushing you in the Hell fire unless being forgiven by God. God, promised to forgive all your sins (per His will) except the sin of worshiping partner to the one and only one God, the Creator, who has no son, no father, no companion, and no resemblance..
Muslims believe that when they die, two angels will take them to be judged for their actions.

The Ewo Gima, a significant conflict in Indonesia, officially ended in 2004.

Minimalism, as an art and design movement, is often considered to have peaked in the late 1960s and 1970s. While it didn't have a definitive end, its prominence waned in the 1980s with the rise of postmodernism, which embraced eclecticism and complexity. However, minimalism still influences contemporary design and lifestyle choices, with many people continuing to adopt minimalist principles today.
When did ratconing stert and end?
Ratconing, or retroactive continuity, refers to the practice of altering previously established facts in a fictional narrative. While the term itself gained popularity in the early 2000s, the concept has been around since the early days of storytelling, particularly in comic books. There isn't a specific start or end date for ratconing, as it continues to occur across various media. Notable examples can be seen in comics, television shows, and films, particularly when creators seek to refresh or redefine characters and storylines.
