Subject: Oh Lord throw brain from the heavens[1] (Was: Do You Want To Know For Sure That You Are Going To Heaven? The reason some people don't know for sure if they are going to Heaven when they die is because they just don't know. The good news is that you can know for sure that you are going to Heaven which is described in the Holy Bible as a beautiful place with no death, sorrow, sickness or pain. (newsgroup-post 138))

Hi!

[1] is a literal translation from German. "O Herr schmeiss Hirn vom
Himmel" is used when one is confronted with stupidity in the third.

The term "to know for sure" refers to knowledge. While it would be a too
narrow interpretation of "knowledge" to require that it is based on
scientific experience it still has to be based on experience.

Experience of living humans does not answer the questions if:

a) death is not the final termination of life
b) one is not re-born
c) heaven exists
d) the bible is right

This does not mean that any of these assumptions is wrong - it simply
means that nobody can know for sure wether they are right or wrong.

Gethsemane IMHO showes that even Jesus himself was not completely free
of doubt.

Back to Ruby: Is there a Ruby means to access the bibles uses by 
"Bibletime"? I would like to be able to access them from inside Ruby.
