do you believe that this world can be paradise or it is just story for small children?

Answer 1

For centuries man has created God after God. For centuries man has destroyed God after God. God is a device used to help maintain order in society. Sadly, world peace isn't possible for this world is divided into two groups and both are staring at their reflection. Neither are wrong, and neither are right and neither can exist without each other.

Answer 2

This world can be paradise. We can make it so for our children. In this part of the cosmos, this earth is the only known habitable planet for light years around. Many Arabs I have met think of Lebanon as paradise. Some Africans think that the arable plateau of Ethiopia is paradise. Many countries have a patch of paradise. Environmentalists are fighting hard to keep this world a living paradise.

Answer 3

GOD’S purpose for the earth is really wonderful. Jehovah wants the earth to be filled with happy, healthy people. The Bible says that “God planted a garden in Eden” and that he “made to grow . . . every tree desirable to one’s sight and good for food.” After God created the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, He put them in that lovely home and told them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it.” (Genesis 1:28; 2:8, 9, 15) So it was God’s purpose that humans have children, extend the boundaries of that garden home earth wide, and take care of the animals.
We can be certain Jehovah God’s purpose for people to live in an earthly paradise will be realized! “I have even spoken it,” God declares, “I shall also do it.” (Isaiah 46:9-11; 55:11) Yes, what God purposes he will surely do! He says that he “did not create the earth simply for nothing” but “formed it even to be inhabited.” (Isaiah 45:18.) What kind of people did God want to live on the earth? And for how long did he want them to live here? The Bible answers: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”—Psalm 37:29; Revelation 21:3, 4.

Peace will exist because "God will make wars cease to the ends of the earth." (Psalm 46:9; Isaiah 2:4) Then “the righteous one will sprout, and the abundance of peace until the moon is no more”—and that means forever. - Psalm 72:7

Jehovah’s worshipers will live in security. - Isaiah 32:18; Micah 4:4

Food shortages will not exist. “There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth,” sang the psalmist. “On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.” (Psalm 72:16.)

The whole earth will become a paradise. Lovely new homes and gardens will occupy land that had once been ruined by sinful humans. (Isaiah 65:21-24; Revelation 11:18.) As time passes, parts of the earth already subdued will expand until the whole globe is as beautiful and productive as the garden of Eden.—Psalm 145:16.

There will be peace between humans and animals. Wild and domestic animals will feed together. Even a little child will have nothing to fear from animals that are now dangerous.—Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25.

Sickness will vanish. As Ruler of God’s heavenly Kingdom, Jesus will do healing on a far grander scale than when he was on earth. (Matthew 9:35; Mark 1:40-42; John 5:5-9) Then “no resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24; 35:5, 6.

Dead loved ones will be restored to life with the prospect of never dying. All those sleeping in death who are in God’s memory will be brought back to life. In fact, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29.
What a marvelous future awaits those who choose to learn about our Grand Creator, Jehovah God, and to serve him! It was to the coming Paradise on earth that Jesus pointed when he promised the evildoer who died alongside him: “You will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43.) It is vital that we learn more about Jesus Christ, through whom all these blessings will be made possible.

Answer 4

It is just story for small children. This world has been, is now, and always will be far too flawed to be a paradise.

Answer 5

Definitely. Paradise means a world without pain, hunger, sadness etc. A place where you don't work and the only task is to praise God. You will not have too struggle to fight against temptation, because it will not exist.

Doesn't that sounds like paradise?

Answer 6

Absolutely not, although it is a wonderful creation with some beautiful aspects to it. Jesus came to take us out of this world to heaven. There is no hope for this world, or in this world. If there were Jesus would not have needed to come and die. If you believe that this world can be paradise you will be deceived.

Answer 7

This world cannot...nor should it be taught to children that it can. The world that is to be paradise is the new earth when this one has been consumed away. The promise is in the resurrection of all those that belong to Him. Love in Christ, ~J~ <><

5-MEMORY ERASED
At this time, Scripture indicates our memory of the past is erased. We shall no longer remember the old earth. It shall not come into our mind. Our lives of sin that we once lived will cease from our memory.
For those in the eternal lake of fire, however, there is no indication that they will ever forget. For eternity, it appears they will remember their lives of sin and also every chance that they had to repent and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but refused.

Answer 8

This world will never be paradise, it will fade away and when the Lord returns to this world, we will be taken to paradise.

It can be the paradise we told our children about, if everyone lives by these 5 simple rules for happy living, and a beautiful world:
1. free your heart from hatred
2. free your mind from worries
3. live simply
4. give more
5. expect less

Answer 10

It has to be a story for small children and I hope that when they grow up they will realize the story for real. That's how hope works at least. And if we can't be hopeful, then all is lost!
