Mike,

What an fantastic post. Thank you. Wow, you describe so many of my sentiments. Each of us needs to do the research and decide for ourself what makes the most sense. I was raised Catholic and it wasn’t until I went off to college that I had a chance to really think things through on my own. The camel/eye of a needle analogy, I have thought through that one many times over the years and I came to the same conclusion you did. And what you said about heaven being in us all, and what may have actually happened during the resurrection, yes, yes. Of course we can’t know for sure, but it’s how I’m personally able to process these teachings. For me, this makes the most sense.

I look forward to reading some of the books you mentioned. Are there any more you would recommend?
