Is he going to get his 72 virgins?
Oh, and I am pretty sure he is interested in 72 male virgins.
Well if it's some kind of suicide mission you're thinking of, naw, been there, done that. Not asking anyone else to suffer. Actually asking them to stop suffering, and show others how. I don't ask anyone to wait to start to stop suffering. There is no mandate to suffer until death, expecting a reward thereafter. As for the reward proposed, it is too limited. Of course, it is a metaphor. I'm telling you that the metaphor underestimates the Kingdom of God.
The concept of a nubile young virgin at your beck and call is mind-made. And the experience it seems to offer is also 100% of the mind. The reason you are not having the experience of joining with a nubile young virgin right now is because you think minds are separated. If you understood the truth about the mind, you could have the essence of the symbolic experience without the body. And without the body, it would be yet a better experience.
Now multiply this experience by 72, because the mind is not limited in its ability to join. Nor is it limited by time or distance, or weariness. All in all, bodily "joining" is a shabby substitute. Now multiply the experience of 72 by the power of 72. Then double it. Then amp it up again, and again, and again. This give you some clue about the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is something everyone here has disowned, denied, repressed and forgotten about. So each has made a sacrifice to have a body that can join with a limited number of other bodies. Thus, the world has exchanged the Kingdom of God for crumbs. I merely suggest you return, and for good reason. Not only is the Kingdom of God still within you, it has not changed with your apparent absence. Thus, you are missing out on your inheritance, to sacrifice and suffer instead.
I'm telling you that the mind that makes the concept of nubile young virgins is part of your inheritance. That is, it is within your power to make such things. I ask you not make them any more because they blind you to what you are sacrificing to have something that is not shared by or sharable with the rest of the Kingdom.
Miracles bring a slice of the Kingdom to earth, reminding it what it is sacrificing to fight for small plots of land instead. Miracles will transform the mentality of the world until the world is abandoned. There is a call for more miracles and more miracle-workers.
What about you, dddooo, are you on board with this? Why not?
How about if I thrown in a free T-shirt that says, "I am not a Christian, I am Christ"?
Jesus
