The Eternal Abode
I claimed tonight that nowhere in the Bible does it literally say that Christians will spend their eternity in "heaven". Revelation describes the New Jerusalem as descending from God "out of heaven". Some view heaven as a state rather than a place. What do you think?
Do we have a choice?
Do people have a choice about whether to be saved? What about other choices in life? Some believe in predestination, others in free will. What do you think.

Welcome!
Welcome to the TBC Seekers weblog. We will use this blog during the Discipleship for Life (DFL) class in the fall of 2010. The class begins August 29th with our first Face to Face (FTF) meeting. I'll set this up so that all who are in the class can post to the blog. I'll also look into setting up a Facebook site as a companion to this blog.
This class is about open dialog -- asking questions about "what we've always been told" without feeling like a heretic. I'll try to seed some discussion by posting some initial questions that often prompt a response like, "I've always wondered about that but was afraid to ask." Don't be afraid to ask in this group!
We will consider whether to keep this group going after the DFL sessions are over -- if there's enough interest we can keep it going indefinitely.
Anyway, welcome! I hope to see you FTF during our Sunday sessions, and see you online during the week.
