if there is a heaven, why aren't more people in a hurry to get there?
shouldn't there be like a search for god, or heaven? vs you're dying to get there?
...
so if the kingdom of god is within you, why are some people dualistic? why do they see god and/or heaven as else where? vs the kingdom of god is omnipresent?Maybe because there is no way to hurry it. Instead of that it would be wiser to do this:
"Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:31-33
"The Kingdom of God doesn't come with observation; neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."
Luke 17:20-21
..."Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can't see the Kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God! That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
John 3:3-7
It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
John 6:63

so god exists else where?I don't think kingdom of God is the same as God or heaven.
Maybe they don't want to queue. I mean, there is literally one saint at the gates processing people so there is no way he has been keeping up with the worldwide death rate, even if not everyone is going to heaven.if there is a heaven, why aren't more people in a hurry to get there?

why have a kingdom if you're not present?
On a secondary note, I was thinking if evolution is true, why are people usually afraid of dying? And why on the converse, worry or think about a "right to life", if evolution is true, because if we evolved, death is a sure prospect, no wonder about it.if there is a heaven, why aren't more people in a hurry to get there?

Kings do not have to reside in the capital. Or every part of the land they are ruler over.so god exists else where?

Well surely this life has meaning to it. And should be lived to the very endif there is a heaven, why aren't more people in a hurry to get there?

Welcome to rf. An end is just another end's beginning.Well surely this life has meaning to it. And should be lived to the very end
life isn't short to those who are awakened to eternal life. It's just differences in vehicles.Because life is short anyway. What's the hurry?
However some people have gone to that extreme. Remember the Jim Jones cult?
Isaiah 66 disagrees with you.Kings do not have to reside in the capital. Or every part of the land they are ruler over.
you are no FoolWelcome to rf. An end is just another end's beginning.
Eternal life always has meaning and doesn't have a beginning/end
Life in our present form and place is indeed short.life isn't short to those who are awakened to eternal life. It's just differences in vehicles.
life is eternal, the form it takes is short. you are associating life to a form. that is far from the truth.Life in our present form and place is indeed short.
