i go to prepare a place for you.. for some reason this verse keeps coming into my mind.
thanks for alll the new comments
I agree sallly sue. I think that was Jesus' intention when he uttered those words and he certainly has. There is no other figure like Jesus in christianity.
Neonmadman - very interesting.
Farkel -

I think that there is a literal aspect but there is a also a symbolic aspect (for example, cf. your earlier comment on this thread)
auschwitz survivor: "i can identify with palestinian youth".
"hajo meyer, author of the book the end of judaism, was born in bielefeld, in germany, in 1924. in 1939, he fled on his own at age 14 to the netherlands to escape the nazi regime, and was unable to attend school.
a year later, when the germans occupied the netherlands he lived in hiding with a poorly forged id.
I mean dogmatic in this sense
| Dogma is the established belief or doctrine held by a religion, ideology or any kind of organization: it is authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted or diverged from. |
the article was not disputing the holocaust.

The Holocaust is undeniable. This article is not only complete falsehood it is abhorant. Quietlyleaving it is only staggering in its audacity. |
I don't like taking a dogmatic stance to anything. I'm not sure which article you are referring to either?
judge for yourself.

Michahia, I did not get that the holocaust is a hoax from the article. What are you referring to?

re pickpockets - please keeps bags and money safe. If you stop for a coffee or drink put your bag on your lap or on the table.
Had my purse stolen 2 weeks ago. My bag was on the floor between my feet. When I went to get my bag it had been pulled to the table behind me and my purse was gone!

thank you all -
just took a peek at the word translated mansions and as Thomas 15 said it means dwelling places. Interestingly it comes from the root ΜΕΝÕ which means remain, wait for. I think this adds to the meaning and somehow suggests that these dwelling places are waiting to be utilized.
And I can agree that these verses, regarding divine things, would have been very uplifitng to his disciples.
