Passage ...... Where do you go after you die

The question, Where do we [as some kind of continuing thing] go after we die? is about as meaningful as the question "Where did we [as some kind of proto-thing] come from when we were born?

"shazzzam" was faster.

Holycrapillion? Sounds like Bush's deficit.

Terry, sorry so see your opinion of God is so grevious.
What has he done to you? (You don't have to answer that.)

Genesis 3
2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "
4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

But it would be my wild guess at this time because the Bible states that God cannot look upon sin, that for some reason supernatural , outside our realm but inside the realm of God , that he cannot look upon sin. There seems to be a seperation of God and people when a person is sinning without the faith and belief of Jesus. It states, Jesus is the intercessor between man and God.

It is your own knowledge that has blinded you. It would have been better for a non believer to never acquire knowledge if that is what you do with it. Use it as a reason to doubt God. ...

Not once have I taken my eye off the understanding that blinders are on the eyes of the unbeliever. I too was once blind, but, now I can see.

The Heavens declare the glory of God.

Why do we call the sun, which is the brightest of all things man knows, the sun? Is it because the sun is the closest thing in our known world that we see daily and it is the brightest, which is similar to the qualities of The Son.

Why do we measure time, which God created and is it by chance or design that time is measured from the time that Christ died.

I always hope such questions about God are sincere and asked with an open heart that the Holy Spirit might quicken the understanding -
so the questioner will keep going, reading, asking more, and discovering that LIFE that is eternally given to the Christian believer.

The Old Testament reminds us to stand in awe of our God. It reminds us of His infinite control, and the means at His disposal. It reminds us that He will never desert us, no matter how bad we get; the Israelites have already tested the limits for us. It reminds us of our need to focus on our spiritual lives. We hear God threatening punishments, plagues, and destruction, and remember that the reason for these appearances is to wake us up! Love stands behind them--the Lord in His mercy is working to save us.

The Law of Non-Contradiction in logic merely notes that no assertion is both true and false, but applied to reality this simple rule entails that nothing can both "be . . . " and "not be . . . " at the same time, although we will of course want to find room to allow for things to change. Thus, neither strict Protagorean relativism nor Parmenidean immutability offer a correct account of the nature of reality. (Metaphysics IV 3-6)

The Law of Excluded Middle in logic states the necessity that either an assertion or its negation must be true, and this entails that there is no profound indeterminacy in the realm of reality. Although our knowledge of an assertion may sometimes fall short of what we need in order to decide whether it is true or false, we can be sure that either it or its negation is true. (Metaphysics IV 7-8)

None So Blind
Perceptual-blindness experiments challenge the validity of eyewitness testimony and the metaphor of memory as a video recording

Picture yourself watching a one-minute video of two teams of three players each. One team wears white shirts and the other black shirts, and the members move around one another in a small room tossing two basketballs. Your task is to count the number of passes made by the white team--not easy given the weaving movement of the players. Unexpectedly, after 35 seconds a gorilla enters the room, walks directly through the farrago of bodies, thumps his chest and, nine seconds later, exits. Would you see the gorilla?
