What is the point of doing all this waiting?
I am going to see heaven anyway.
Why can't I see it right now?
Why can't I leave this earth right now and go see heaven for myself?

Because the sin of suicide will keep you out of heaven. If you decide to "play God" and take your own life you will find yourself in a literal burning hell for all eternity. Sort of an "out of the frying pan into the fire" scenario if you will. No matter how bad things get for you here on earth if you decide to check out on your own terms it will be SO MUCH worse for you on the other side. Only God gets to decide when we go to heaven.

You can see heaven right now while you're still in this life. Just ask God to show it to you. You don't have to wait until you die to see heaven. Just have faith and believe.

Because God wants you to live on earth for awhile until Hes ready for you to come to heaven.

You won't see heaven if you choose to leave this earth right now. God has plans for you and although you may feel like your at a dead end right now I PROMISE you it will get better. I look back now on the times I felt how you do and I thank God everyday that I didn't choose to leave. I would have missed out on so much, including heaven. Please hang in there. Please remember your not the only one that has felt this way. Please remember me and my answer.

Because when people die they go into the ground where we put them. And if you take your own life then you can't ask for forgiveness for the sin of committing murder and when Jesus does come back it will not be to take you home with Him.
Genesis 3:19, Ecclesiastes 9:5 &6, Acts 2:34

Well, since your saved, you must have Jesus. So you still have work to do on earth. He told us to go preach to the ends of the earth. So you need to preach -- well, maybe not preach exactly, as in becoming a pastor of a church, but doing work for the Lord is what you need to do. You're still here for a reason, trust me, God has a purpose for you still being here. Who knows, you might impact a whole country, or maybe just one person -- either way, it's what God wants from you.
God bless you.

YOu have to work for heaven, it's not just handed to anyone. There is no reward in something merely handed to you. Look at people like Mother Theresa. I believe she gained heaven because she was a true example of Christianity. She worked hard and will gain her eternal reward.

With that attitude problem, you are not going to see Heaven. If
you knew God you would know we have a reason for being here.

Because there's a catch-22 invented by religious "authorities," who realized that dead peasants don't tithe. If you kill yourself, it's a "sin" and you're going to hell. No, you have to endure a life of deprivation and repression, i.e. "piety," in order to secure a good spot in some projected "afterlife."
Better to abandon these primitive superstitions altogether, enjoy life for what it is, and bow to NO spiritual "authority" - there is no god but man.
Everybody else is just going to load you up with saccharine platitudes parroted from bible study.

You can ask God to take ur life...ONLY if youve done such a horrible thing that u cant live with the knowledge.
However, you are not allowed to take ur own life...as youre not the one who gave it to yourself.
Life is precious,even if Heaven is the final destination.
Peace out
