where will you spend eternity?

Answer 1

in my Father's kingdom.

Answer 2

This is
Pascal's wager:

"If god exists, it's infinitely better to believe, since you get heaven instead of hell for eternity. If he doesn't, it doesn't matter since you're dead anyway. So overall it's better to believe"

This is, of course, false.

Some of the problems with the argument:

* The implied assumption that god may exist (with a 50% probability, no less!)

* The assumption that there is an afterlife with a heaven and hell

* The assumption that the god cares about belief in him/her above all else

* The assumption that if you believe in a god, it will definitely be the same god that actually exists.

* The assumption that you lose nothing if it's false. You have lost a great deal, from time praying to a nonexistent entity (somebody mentioned just today praying several hours a day!!!) to morality (your god may ask you to hurt other people) and much more besides.

* The assumption that people can believe in something simply because it benefits them. Would you believe goblins exist for twenty bucks? Why not?

* The assumption that any god won't see through the "believing just to get into heaven" ploy.

Answer 3

"Imagine no religion; it's easy if you try. No hell below us; above us only sky. Imagine all the people living..."
Lennon's idea of heaven is spot-on; all barriers broken down and all people living in concord. Doesn't that sound something like Jesus' message of the Kingdom of God and doesn't it also sound like poetry conducive to the metaphor we read in Acts about the Feast of Pentecost: "When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place." (Acts 2:1)
Heaven is not where I will go when I die: heaven is a metaphor for life without a sinful nature; where the Kingdom is experienced in its fullness.

Answer 4

According to Christianity- Hell
According to my beliefs- My soul will cross over between the different planes and I won't stay in the same place for all eternity.

Answer 5

I believe that most souls cross over. I also believe that we live many lives. That is my eternity.

Religion has nothing to do with the eternal ife of our souls. It does limit your human life during this lifetime, however. Do you like to be limited?
