They say that there are no U-Hauls to Heaven.
They are correct.
There are also no U-Hauls to Hell.
Quite so.
Thre is absolutely NOTHING any of us can take into Eternity.
Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nix.
Following our extinction, 'our' material possessions were ALL of the Lord's creation, and so left to Him. Our BODIES were also His creation, and also left to Him.
The ONLY thing that follows us is our Record: of evil and good thoughts, speech, and actions we did and do in this temporal life...and whether or not we believed and believe in and declared/declare that Jesus Christ is God our Savior and THE [one and only] Perfect All-Sufficient Atonement against (not 'for') all our sins.
THAT is it. That is ALL. Period.
We won't even have our free-will CHOICE anymore after our eventual demise, which choice is a benign inherent attribute GOD temporarily gives us this side of Death. On the other side, we will only have the results of what we have irrevocably chosen. Irrevocably chosen.
All our distant and near ancestors, along with ourselves and any children we temporarily caretake, have and have had written-Word Scriptural glimpses of what both Heaven and Hell are and will be like. But the totality of the duration of eternity (described in the Greek-Text New Testament as: 'to the ages of the ages') is VERY soon incomprehensible to our limited, finite, measurement-oriented, quickly-tiring minds.
Heaven will be everlasting satisfaction WITH God. Hell will be everlasting dissatisfaction WITHOUT God. Which do YOU want?
If you MUST be narrow-minded, imagine Heaven as continuing on without end and getting more and more bored with the magnificent presence of the Almighty, then imagine Hell as continuing on without end and getting more and more bored without the terrifying presence of the Almighty. Again, WHICH do you want?
WAS and IS it necessary or needful to 'Say No To Bush?' WILL it be helpful and convenient to 'Say No To Jesus Christ?' Only insane egocentric irreparably-rebellious FOOLS would presume it worthwhile to do that! And [believe it or not, and when you think about it, you will probably believe that] THAT will be the worse-than-lethal irrational decision of 'the many on the broad and easy road to destruction.'
The immoral-majority accursed WILL prefer to relentlessly (equivalent of 24/7) scream ad infinitum with bodyburn pain in the Divinely-prophesied, inescapable, consequential, no-other-alternative, never-ending, solitary-confinement, blazing-but-lightless Lake-of-Fire torture - cursing God and cursing themselves and whoever else as they wail and gnash their teeth - rather than having humbly and non-arrogantly, obediently and non-defiantly accomodated to THE True God, His Nature and natural phenomena, His Holiness, His Redemption, His Redeemer, His blessed saints and their perfected and public righteous praise, words, and behavior without error, mistake, harassment, nor suppression.
