Because i am not dead yet.
Obviously not my time yet. I believe God has a plan for each and every one of us. If we follow His path for our lives then we will be more fulfilled and satisfied than ever.
I dont believe everyone goes to heaven. My interpretation of the bible is that you need to know God (have a relationship with God) to go to Heaven.
A lot of people live their lives not even thinking about God but then when they die they want to go to Heaven.
Thats like having a child who totally ignores you when they have grown up. Lives their whole lives without barely recognising your existence and then when they die come to you. You would not even know who they are. (well its a bit different but thats just the way my mind sees it)
Anyway getting off track.
God knows why we are still here on earth!! :)

In Revelation John talks about seeing 2 groups...144,000 (little flock) and an unnumbered group (the great crowd).
The "Little flock" are the ones with a heavenly hope
The "Great Crowd" are the ones to live forever on earth in a paradise, once this world comes to an end in Armageddon

I'm still here on Earth to do God's will. I'm not finished yet. I'm learning and growing. I have loved ones and friends that still want me around for a while longer. When I'm done, I get to go - YIPPEE - but I'm content to be here for now.

I believe in the other side. My soul will cross over when my body dies. Obviously, I am still here on earth because my body is still alive.

God provides us with the breath of life to learn and broaden our souls, so to take these (all) things to Heaven with us.
Once our bodies die, we make the transition to either Heaven or Hell, depending on how you lived your life in Christ.
I, too, believe in a hereafter. I know that the reward seems magnificent and can't wait to get to Paradise....and be with my Creator, and Mother, and all that have passed on.

I don't believe in heaven...but I do believe that most would agree that we are still on Earth because of ....Gravity.

For to me, living is for Christ, and dying is even better. Yet if I live, that means fruitful service for Christ. I really don't know which is better.
I'm torn between two desires: Sometimes I want to live, and sometimes I long to go and be with Christ. That would be far better for me, but it is better for you that I live.
Philippians 1:21-24
Because the next generation needs spiritual direction.
