Not if you are first in line....
What happens, then, if you've stepped out of line? Do you have to go all the way back to where you started?

Neat story about me missing his point. I didn't miss it as much as it missed me, entirely. And I can hardly note any policy that's been categorically made up.
It's hardly made up. The idea of hierarchy and differing roles in heaven is all through the scripture for anyone with eyes to see.

I view this as the mark of man, fwiw.

I find your opinion without scriptural reasoning isn't worth much. Would you like to add some value by quoting scripture to explain why you think every human being will have the exact same authority, power and role in heaven?

You must think my time is a worthless as your opinion of me. It's as valuable as yours except that it is not yours to take liberty in wasting. If I thought you were sincerely interested in my opinion, I might've considered entertaining your request but there are plenty here that would be happy to support your biases why would you rather waste time in not listening to mine?

I have no opinion of you as a person, I don't know you. You gave me your view without scriptural reasoning and it is of this I have an opinion and sought scriptural reasoning. I gave you my scriptural reasoning, I simply asked for a reciprocal courtesy.

If I had no interest in why you think as you do, I would not have asked, but since you would rather be hostile then so be it.

Have a great day.

Your adoption of a hierarchical ideology implies a subspecies of human over which others may rule so, naturally, it would not be unreasonable to assume you would likely dismiss my 'inferior' opinion as your friend suggests you should do, seeing that you hold his opinion in much higher regard.
I have no idea why the sudden hostility from him? <shrug>
Great story. Do what you must to make yourself feel better.

At least you read it...
Welll...I can't help but be interested in opinions of my character, regardless of the accuracy, who wouldn't be?

What are you here for?

Why such an avatar? You want to devour others?

Tell whatever story your heart desires to discredit my concern for lost souls, but without your free will to do so, of course.

We have a spirit, though it is insufficient to sustain eternal life, it is sufficient to make the choices necessary to enter a gate, even if it is narrow.

Now I'm curious....

Why did you pick a female lion as your avatar?
That is a female, right?

There will be no pre or mid tribulation rapture.
Unless there is one. "Eschatology" is a religious term meaning "Rank Speculation". And besides, I can "prove Biblically" that the Rapture will happen during the "Feast of Trumpet's" in 1988!!!!! I can hardly wait!!!
