So, for the afterlife not to be like this life ...wouldn't there have to be some intervention? And short of taking away our freedom of choice, wouldn't there have to be some divide to separate the pleasantries from the unpleasantries??

And if there was going to be a separation ....I'd want it to be a pleasant paradise, and I'd want to rejoin loved ones that I miss so dearly.

If I sincerely want to be with all my loved ones, I'd likely want to make arrangements for that.

But, it's not like making reservations at a restaurant.  I don't handle the arrangements ...Jesus did, and does.

And often those who have reservations (about Jesus), are the ones who don't have reservations (in Heaven).

But, it's not too late ...make the call, as there is room for everyone!!  I'm just suggesting that you make the call now ...because you have to be a member.  And you can't apply for membership in the afterlife ...it has to be done in this life.

Jesus doesn't reject membership ...it's those who reject Jesus, who don't get in.
