How is it Heaven if all you do is worship God up there?

Question

Sounds pretty boring to me.

I got that out of the Bible. Or one part of it. Hey, I could be wrong, but I'd like someone to tell me the part where I get to go swimming and fly around in space and do all that fun sort of stuff.

Answer 1

Why would an omnipotent being require constant adoration? No matter how imperfect, silly, vain or human people try to make God, he isn't.

Answer 2

Honestly, if you are a Christian, it doesn't get any better than being face to face with God 24/7 and you wouldn't be able to stop worshiping Him, correction, you wouldn't want to stop worshiping Him and it would never get boring; He's God!

If you stopped worshiping it would only be because you would be marveling at all the things He's done for you and for others, all He's created, and that He prepared a place for you, a human, in Heaven with Him. The marveling would lead to worshiping or go hand in hand with it.

Heaven is ultimate perfection....Heaven is where we will be with God, be worthy to be with God and be able to worship Him freely 24/7 without ever having to worry about persecution. That is ultimate perfection and something that could never happen on this Earth.

Honestly, I don't think we'll even be aware of what boredom is when we're in Heaven....it would be putting something ahead of God; making another idol god to worship besides Him.

In Heaven, that's impossible and an imperfection.

Answer 3

So you may as well have fun now, after all, nobody knows for sure that there is actually a heaven. Have you ever met anybody that has been there? It may be like when you are going somewhere on the weekend, and you get really excited, only to have it cancelled and you get that really bad let down feeling. Do you really want that? Dont expect anything, then if there really is a heaven, and you havent been too bad, im sure you will be allowed in!

Answer 4

In my religion : Islam , heaven differes than this ;

No more praying there ,the idea of heaven in Islam is when you have a hard life in praying to god , not doing what he forbids , it's your reward is to live eternety in a paradise place where you have every pleasure , more than you ever dreamed of , pleasures of food , of wine ( but it doesnt make you drunk or unstable) , of women , of everything , no more suffering , no more getting tired , no more hunger , get cold or suffer heat , a heaven , you know .

Here is some of heaven in islam ( borrowed from a text i found , but it was cool ) :
we find the following passage in a Web-based version of Islam's holy book : "Verily, for the Muttaqun [righteous], there will be a success (paradise); gardens and grapeyards; and young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age; and a full cup (of wine)" (An-Naba 78:31-34). Whoa, one thinks--the Kingdom of Heaven meets the Playboy Advisor! However, most other English translations, both on-line and in print, replace "full-breasted maidens" with some tame construction such as "companions." Inquiring further, we find that the Arabic word at issue is WakawaAAiba, which appears nowhere else in the Koran. The French, less prudish in these matters, usually render it as something like des belles aux seins arrondis, "beautiful women with round breasts," so I think it's pretty clear what the Prophet, or at least his stenographers, had in mind.
Islamic heaven is a pretty rockin' place, with an emphasis on sensual pleasures. The provision of virgins in indeterminate quantities is alluded to at numerous points, and you know they're not just there to fluff the pillows. (In fairness to the Prophet, the physical quality usually attributed to the houris, as they're called, is "wide lovely eyes.") The food, service, ambience., etc, are great. You're allowed to enjoy things the Koran explicitly denies you on earth, such as alcohol, and you won't even get sick. ("Wine . . . delicious to those who drink it . . . will neither dull their senses nor they will become drunk.") Granted


cool ? no more praying , the reward of preying all the time CAN NOT be MORE PRAYING .

Answer 5

Worshiping god is part a heaven. It is described in the bible as a paradis providing all the pleasures a morally correct individual could ever disire. Freinds, Family, Food, and of course, God.

Answer 6

Are you kidding? When we see His glory with our own eyes we'll think eternity is too short to worship Him! Asking to go swimming or flying around will be like asking for a grain of sand when God wants to give you the beach! The Bible says our eyes haven't seen, nor our ears heard, nor our minds conceived the glories that He has prepared for those who love Him.

Answer 7

it's not flying around space and swimming and everything that classifies Heaven You're talking about limbo. Few people reach the Kingdom of heaven but those who reach it have achieved something greater than anything ever seen on earth, Nirvana

Answer 8

You are going to get yourself involved with hundreds of questions such as this one if you take religion like this, I mean, by the letter.

'Heaven' and 'worship' and even 'god' are words. Look for the meaning behind the word --and things won't seem so boring.

I am sure you know that! Aren't you pulling our legs?

Answer 9

Since no one has lived to tell us about heaven, I'd say don't worry about it now and live life to the fullest. Life is all too short and precious to be worrying about what happens after we're dead. If God is loving and just as the holy rollers say he is, then live right, be honest with yourself and others, honor your God and heaven will be whatever you wish it to be.

Answer 10

Simple answer: It's not YOUR Heaven. It's God's.
God designed us to worship Him and be friends to Him....willingly. He does not REQUIRE us to worship Him, He DESIRES us to worship Him, with a free mind and will. Do you want to?
If you have not experienced enjoyable worship, you need to find a different church. One where people actually worship God and praise Him, like David did, like in the Psalms, and other parts of the Bible.
Psalm 66:4
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name.
Psalm 33:2
Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
1 Chronicles 23:5
Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
2 Chronicles 5:13
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD
Psalm 150:4
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
2 Chronicles 29:30
Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Worship is more than just lip service and singing. It is in your heart and everything you do. In Heaven, eating will be worshipping God by enjoying what He created for us. He gave us friends and family and spending time with them, gifts from God, in Heaven is worshipping Him.

He knows that He created us with certain needs and healthy desires. He is making Heaven just for us. And trust Him, He made us, He knows what we will need. He goes to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.)

Answer 11

Yeah, Mark Twain, in one of his books. had the same thoughts as you. He talked about people dreading going to church on Sunday to sing hymns, but the all looked forward to going to heaven to sing hymns for eternity.

He also said that man is the only animal that blushes, or has a need to.
