Once you go to heaven, what do you actually do?

Question

This makes me glad I don't believe in heaven. Sounds like boredom beyond the scope of human imagination.

I would rather bait a Forida alligator with my manhood than listen to a Jehovah's Witless.

Answer 1

God does not EXIST.


Just enjoy life.

Answer 2

If you go to Heaven, you are one of the 144,000 that the Bible says will go there at Rev. 7:4-9 and Rev. 14:1 Those 144,000 will be kings and priests and will help Jesus to rule the earth. If you are in the Great Crowd, also called the Other Sheep, you will live forever on earth after armageddon. Psalms 37:9-11, and Proverbs 21:3,4; Revelation 21:3,4 There you will never be sick, never hurt, never sorrow ever again.

Those ones in the 144,000 have mostly all made it to heaven leaving only a few thousand still alive on the earth. When they die, they will go there. The rest of us have the chance to live forever on an earth that is a paradise because we will do what Adam and Eve didn't complete and that was to fill the earth and take care of the garden.

There is much more to it, but can't be explained here. I would suggest you ask for a Bible study at the web site I am listing below. I didn't approve of those people at all, and I had many questions that I posed to try to stump them, but they answered them all from the Bible, which is why I believe that they have the truth now.

You can also find the whole Bible at the site below if you look on the right side of the page for online Bible.

I hope you have success in trying to learn more about what the Bible teaches.

Answer 3

Adam and Even had duties in the Garden of Eden...we will likewise have things to do in the "New Heaven and Earth". The book of revelation is all we know for this reality. More will be revealed beyond this life. A perfect world doesn't imply a world where nothing needs to be done. Adam and Even were told to cultivate the perfect Garden of Eden. Therefore, perfetion is not a state where things cannot be done. So Praise will not be the only thing to be done. Put that harp down and do some work (without that curse of toiling and working by the sweat of your brow (Gen. 3).
:)

Answer 4

It sounds really boring. I wonder if it is scripted and designed by Disney. Would a person be required to socialize with Jerry Fallwell and Pat Robertson. That would be hell.
If there is no danger and no play, that would also be hell.
I just do not get the attraction of a place where there is no work, no struggle, no danger, no pain, no relief from pain. I figure I am in heaven now. Life is an adventure with adversities to over come. I have been fortunate in having only moderate and manageable adversities as a citizen of the United States and very grateful for that fact.
Christian heaven seems over rated to me.

Answer 5

Good question. From what I hear, it sounds boring. Especially if you're supposed to sit around praising and worshipping.

My hope would be that the afterlife would be an opportunity for continual exploration and discovery.

If I got to Heaven and found out I was going to be sitting in church all day everday, singing miserable hymns and telling God how doggone impressed I am, I'd find me a major sin to commit so I could get kicked out of "Paradise" and go join the interesting people who had better sense than to get slaved in the first place.

Answer 6

Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that exactly 144,000 humans will join Christ Jesus as kings and priests to administer God's Kingdom (which will soon replace all earthly governments) after Armageddon.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite
(Revelation 14:1) Lamb [Jesus] standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand
(Revelation 20:6) they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him

Over whom will they rule? Over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire

Almighty Jehovah God selects those few who have the heavenly calling from among godfearing worshippers, including many who were never Jehovah's Witnesses. Today, each true worshipper "feels" his own hope and each person's hope remains unquestioned by his fellow Christians. Still the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%*) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]

Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind


* The 99.9% of Jehovah's Witnesses professing an Earthly hope is a literal figure
