Well, some Bible stories are open to interpretation.

Chariots of Fire - spaceships? 🤔

I’ve often thought that re spaceships.

And who were the Elohim? The “sons of God who mated with the daughters of men.” to create the Nephilim (Genesis)

Most cultures, peoples, races have some sort of 'creation' myth.
It is only in the last 4 millennia that some started to be written down.
The later that writing came to a culture, the longer the oral tradition lasted.

Sorry, had a wee chuckle there. Is that some GNs disputing about who is and who isn't getting into Heaven?

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 17:32:33

If you are English, Rosie, then the answer to your question is Croydon.

If you are English, Rosie, then the answer to your question is Croydon.

Is that in answer to where is the world's legal land registry? Unfortunately AI disagrees with you There is no single, worldwide legal land registry. Instead, land and property records are managed by individual countries, states, or local jurisdictions. but nice try.

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 17:43:58

Did I say there was?

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 17:44:40

Thank you. Yes , I do make the effort to be nice.

A wee chuckle notwithstanding it’s about a couple of us reminding posters that Heaven isn’t actually a fact.As to who gets in to it is completely unknown.

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 18:03:12

But we don't actually know that until, sadly, we are gone.

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 18:03:56

They smell gorgeous, thanks.

Oreo Thu 13-Nov-25 18:05:15

What Croydon has to do with anything is only known to Maremia 😁

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 18:07:16

What I do know is that there is Hell on Earth. 🌎

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 18:08:39

Rosie asked a questions and I nicely, as she put it, gave her the answer.

Oreo Thu 13-Nov-25 18:10:43

Exactly, so we can safely say it isn’t a fact.However….if you get there first try and send a message back to us.😄

True!

I'm confused.

Is Croydon Heaven on Earth?

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 18:20:31

Are you serious Oreo, I'll be too busy catching up with old friends. Fraid you'll have to make that discovery for yourself.

Some stories are very similar from different parts of the Earth.

The Flood story for instance.

If I'm there first I'll try to send a sign. 🎆

I'm confused too, still waiting for Maremia to tell me what question Croydon is the answer to. I would doubt very much that anyone would think Croydon is Heaven on Earth 🤣🤣 No offence to anyone who lives in Croydon, my area wouldn't qualify either!

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 18:25:50

Land registry. Rosie was concerned, or something, about that.
The Bible is not a land registry. Just because you owned a piece of land 2000 year ago, doesn't mean it still belongs to your tribe.
Just as the pieces of land belonging to the Palestinians much more recently is no longer their's after the Nakba, and even now, in the West Bank.

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 18:29:39

Interesting about the Flood story, Allira,. The Gigamesh version written in Mesopotamia, predates the Biblical story of Noah, by maybe 1000 years.

Lathyrus3 Thu 13-Nov-25 18:37:00

And the indigenous Australian flood before that

Maremia Thu 13-Nov-25 18:40:21

What we need now is a 'flood' of help, of all sorts for the people of Gaza, and relief from the Settlers, for the West Bank Palestinians.
