Won't you get bored in Heaven?

Question

This was part of an answer to my last question about going to heaven -

"and heaven won't be boring, there will be sports, paintball, anything good that you can think of, it'll be there."

So, like, playing paintball FOREVER won't get boring?! Let me emphasize that eternity is a very, very, very long time. Even if you work your way through paintball and every sport known to man, what will you do then? Take up needlepoint?

Answer 1

The Holiness and love of God will be such that you will never bore of worshipping Him. This is hard for us to grasp, but it will be so.

Answer 2

The God Who made this wonderful universe with all there is here to see and do, also made heaven, and it is such a much better place. We cannot comprehend what it will be like, but there is enough really and truly interesting stuff to do there that we will never be bored. Boredom is a state of discontent, of not knowing what to do with oneself. Because we can live such a rich life there, so many times richer than here, we probably won't even remember what it was like to be bored. We have the rest of eternity to explore the wonderful Being Who created this marvelous and beautiful place. I am looking forward to it. What I have here is just a foretaste. And as I sometimes tell people, I would like to be bored once, just to see what it's like. I always have far more stuff I want to do, interesting stuff, than I have time for. On top of that, we will have the rest of eternity to associate with each other. If you appreciate your friends, imagine having all the time you want to spend with them, and having millions of interesting, fascinating people to become friends with. And best of all, we will be able to meet God face to face, and to explore the wonders of that impossibly phenomenal Being Who designed all of this in the first place, and to explore all the things He did design. No, I don't ever expect to be bored there!

Answer 3

when you or if you go to heaven see romans 10:9 to make sure you will be there by accepting Jesus as your lord and savior but when you die, if you are saved, it says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God is love first of all and if you recount, he made the garden so beautiful for Adam and Eve why would he make it boring for us. he is rich, in the Bible it tells you there are mansions, streets of gold, there will be praise and worship, food, ect ect...read your bible and look up heaven in the concoedance and it's definition. it is anything but boring. Plus, when you die and we are resurected with God, our bodies will not be the same, neither will our minds, we will not be sinful people needing pleasure all the time and entertainment, it is a totally different realm that cannot be explained in literal terms. A few people I have known that have experienced near death say that at the moment they did not want to come back, the presence was one of undescribable peace....the bible also gives an account of hell too and it is a place of torment...so the opposite heaven must be a place of pure happiness and fellowship

Answer 4

NO--to think so is to admit to a very limited scope in a simple pyshical universe that has but a grain of insight into the scope of the metapyshical universe and what is there ---it is on that level that 'heaven' exists--and on that level there are no boundries or limits of view--and so eternity is like a fresh new begining with every new moment and each new moment a discovery of a new and wonderful adventure--impossible to get your mundane brain around---that is the heaven that is

Answer 5

I don't know about sports and such in heaven but I know I wont get bored for the simple fact that my time here on earth spent in the presence of God is so good...there are times when I have been in prayer for 3 hours or more and it only seemed like minutes....He is very real and when in Gods presence nothing else seems to matter.....

Answer 6

It gets so boring reading these same questions about heaven and what it's going to be or not be, who' going there, who isn't. do we believe in it, is there a GOD, does he know how bad this world is, etc, etc, etc. It's enough already. People are obsessed with religion. No one has ever gone there and came back, except Jesus Christ......No one can answer these questions with absolute authority or conviction. The bible says,,,,,okay, so what. Let's talk about something else for a change...........

Answer 7

Heaven is a spiritual place, in the presence of the Almighty God, Creator of the universe and everything in it. I think we will never be bored because there will be nothing better than just being with Him for all eternity. Try not to think of it in physical terms, its spirit.

Answer 8

I'm sure they'll be other things to do besides playing paintball, like playing video games.... just kidding. Human beings can not comprehend the universe so who knows what awaits us on "the other side"

Answer 9

Look at everything he did for us. Look at all the wonders, not just on this planet, but of the known Universe. There are so many things to learn, see and do, and God, if heaven truly does exist, can do anything. If you have to have faith in something, y ruin it by judging things we have no concept of?

Answer 10

god who created all things definitely has a plan to make paradice paradice..How is you can believe he can create an entire world all the great artist of all time and musicians he made every movie or theatre performance ever done God created the ones who wrote these things he can do absolutely everything and yet he just cant keep you happy....Well I'm on board this new and wonderful experience that God has created for us ..But lets face it God isnt for everyone many are happy here and content with this so be it.

Answer 11

If Heaven is so perfect, there should be unlimited amounts of activities =) The way I look at it, if there is a Heaven: I'm going to be learning a lot of stuff while I'm up there.
