I totally agree with that statement, that is why is it vital that we pay attention to our spiritual needs.

Christ healed people wherever he went. He was pointing to a much greater reality.

Mankind WILL BE healed.

The non-love within EACH of us is being destroyed.
We are slowly, persistently being HEALED.
Each and every human being that has ever or will ever live will be healed.
I am talking not only physically, but of a much more important healing: spiritual.

The more you focus on LOVE, the more you are focusing on GOD for GOD IS LOVE.
When you focus on LOVE, ponder LOVE, meditate on LOVE and put LOVE in action.... you are being healed. And you are healing others around you.

Jesus Christ, the saviour of ALL mankind.

Why is that so hard to believe?
Where is your faith? Faith in your Creator who will not let you or anyone else down?

I don't think that most people from all of the christian denominations will be going to "heaven".
I believe that ALL people from ALL walks of life, everwhere will finally come to the realization that LOVE is the most powerful thing there is. That God IS Love. And all of creation will be ONE.
Then and only then will we find ourselves in "heaven".
When we love each other (not just our fellow man, but ALL of creation) as ourselves and we love our Creator with all of our heart, mind and soul. THAT is "heaven".

We're here to learn.

Your Creator loves you. No matter what.
Please do not listen to those who tell you that His love is conditional.
Nothing could be further from the truth.


peace,
sparrow

Yes, I think MOST people from ALL of the Christian denominations are going to Heaven, if they really believe what their congregation teaches. (There are a few exceptions, and one of them is in Kansas, though I think they're going to get a nice, long baking session in an intermediate place like Purgatory to cool their jets).
ALL Christians, regardless of denomination, have Eternal Life and will spend eternity with God.

The short answer is:
1JN 5:1 "Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:"

Even if I don't agree with all they say.

Guess what folks JESUS does not have denominations- sects- cults- religions etc- and he said ONLY ONE DOCTRINE- first law-- LOVE!!! anything else is BUNK- Be clear he warned us not every body who said LORD will make it-- what else you need? anyone who dislikes the poor- sick - incarcerated- of other colors or countries etc etc--- OH OH. reality check!"" (quote)I believe that ALL people from ALL walks of life, everwhere will finally come to the realization that LOVE is the most powerful thing there is. That God IS Love. And all of creation will be ONE."" The bible does speak of death and fire and all the ugly things- so it is not just all so sweet for all to enjoy- there is accountability and NOt all will accept God--- evil will have consequences- if not then forget all- law -congress- judges, presidents, policemen and soldiers,,, etc- just go at it- in the end we all get what we want iternal bliss- do not think so. Jesus threw the pharasees out for a reason-
