i'm thinking somewhere along the lines things got misenterprated. kinda like a game they showed us at school when we were younger. everyone would get in a big circle and someone would start off the game and whisper something to the person next to him and then that person would repeat what he heard from the first person and so on. and by the end when it got to the last person it would be totally different from what the first person had said.

now i know comparing God to a game might sound ridiculous but it shows how people over the years might have changed a few things.
most common version of the bible is the king james version also supposidly the most accurate passed on throughout the years, but it has been rumored that king james changed parts and took books out and added books for his own benefit during his reign.

Secondly, the dating of the gospels further confirms accuracy. Within 7 years, four separate people wrote of Jesus and they all line up with each other. Lastly, I feel that I have truly connected with our Lord. I really do feel that Jesus is guiding me through my life and He has helped me through so many tough obstacles. It's just indescribable. I have absolutly no doubt of my beliefs because of the things that I have experienced.
But what if all is not as you think it is?

The question implies that there is a heaven and thus one would have to believe in a God and the promise of heaven.

It's sort of like asking someone if they believe in life after death and them saying,
"I don't know but we'll see someday". LOL

That doesn't even make sense. What if life is not what you think it is? What if you don't really exist? What if I'm a figment of your imagination?
