can god make humans live forever on earth? ps 37:29?

Question

psalms 37:29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.
proverbs 2:21 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. 22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.

Answer 1

These scriptures promise that he will.

Answer 2

It was God's original purpose that man would live forever on the earth. It is still his purpose. The bible says that he will destroy the wicked and that the meek would inherit the earth as you quoted. He also tells us that sickness and death will be no more at Rev. 21: 3 & 4., Isaiah 25: 8; Isaiah 33: 24 With sickness and death gone, man can live forever and once again grow to perfection.

Other promises of a peaceful earth with abundance for all. Animals at peace with each other and with man. Isaiah 65: 17 - 25. Blind, deaf and lame cured Isaiah 35: 5 & 6
The dead would be resurrected from the grave. John 5:28; Rev. 20: 12b & 13; Acts 24: 15

The bible shows the earth is here forever. Ecclesiastes 1: 4 says "A generation is going and a generation is coming, but the earth is standing even to time indefinite." Just like in Noah's day, the earth was not destroyed, only the wicked. Luke 17:26; Matt 24: 37

We have confidence that these things will occur for at Rev. 21: 5 & 6a says "And the One seated on th throne said: Look! I am making all things new.' Also, he says: 'Write, because these words are faithful and true.' And he said to me: 'They have come to pass! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.'"

Answer 3

Yes Bill! You are correct! If you are a Christian I am suprised you were able to read and interpret the scriptures with the correct understanding. Christians often teach about the rapture even though that word is not written any where in any Bible that I have ever read. If there is going to be a new earth and a new heaven...who is going to inhabit the new earth??? The scriptures that you have selected are an excellent back up for your understanding. Here's another one for you!
Revelations 21: 1-2 clearly states Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from god, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Answer 4

No, only cloning and "uploading" of someone's brain patterns and memories to the new clone can make someone live forever on earth.

EDIT: Actually Nish is right see after the pheonix force destroys the world, the lone survivor named Galan, will be remade as galactus and begin to devour worlds in the new universe.

hey don't like comic mythology, then you must not like the bible. A bunch of weirdos running around in spandex is a lot more believable than people living to 130+ years or parting oceans or putting predatory and prey animals peacefully together in a hastily constructed boat that there wasn't even the technology to build until many many many many many years later.

Answer 5

I suppose that once the tip of the arena (as we comprehend it) occurs on the moment coming of Christ, that the earth does grow to be paradise once more and that is the heaven that we speak approximately. But could you rather desire it ceaselessly the best way it's now? And it is just Heaven whilst God is right here, which is not the case proper now. As for hell, we all know Satan would possibly not be in heaven, so he should be someplace else. Hell is honestly stated first in Deuteronomy bankruptcy 32 vs 22 (no less than within the King James variant).

Answer 6

Traditional Christian eschatology goes like this: the world gets really bad, Jesus comes and takes believers, including the bodies of the dead, they go to "heaven" for a short time, then God refreshes the earth and Jesus comes and rules it for 2000 years and then they let Satan out again, then some more people go to hell, and then Jesus rules *ON EARTH* forever. So, yes, that's the idea, according to Christians.

Answer 7

Yes. But only after the resurrection when the righteous will have perfect bodies (a bit different from now, and we don't exactly know how different) and after sin is totally eradicated, and the earth is re-created to be "very good" again.

Answer 8

Read revelation chapter 21. after god destroys the earth by fire like he did the flood, he will bring down heaven and the new Jerusalem and we will live for eternity like Adam and Eve did before they sinned.

Answer 9

There's a new heaven and a new Earth coming. This one will pass away, and those who are upright in God will live their forever. Do you know how contaminated this world is? Why would God want to let His children live here. He has sooo much better for us, I hope you're included.

Answer 10

This refers to a future state. Not here. See also Matthew 5:5.
It'll be a good study.

Answer 11

Well that was god's original plan for men to live forever on a paradise earth, but he had said in Gen. 2:17 "But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die." And of course eat from it they did, passing their inperfection to the whole of the human race.

But god set out a plan to to balance the sin of adam by the sacrifice of a perfect human Jesus Christ. Heb. 10:9-12 "....'Look! I am come to do your will' (This is jesus speaking of god's plan) He does away with what is first that he may establish what is second. By the said 'will' we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time. Also, every priest takes his station from day to day to render public service and to offer the same sacrifices often, as these are at no time able to take sins away completely. But this man offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually and sat down at the right hand of God," 1 Cor. 15:22 "For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive."

But to take advantage of Jesus' sacrifice men have to exercise faith in Jesus and repent. John 3:16 "'For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.'" John 11:25,26 "Jesus said to her 'I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all'..." Luke 23:42,43 "And he went on to say: 'Jesus remember me when you get into your kingdom.' And he said to him: 'Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.'" So the reward for the exercise of faith wasn't heaven but paradise earth.

To finalize God's plan he must cleanse the earth with his holy war to end wickness, Armageddon. 2Thes. 1:7-9 "but, to YOU who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation or the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength," Most of the book of Revelations desribes, through a vision that the apostle John was given, the happenings of armageddon and the outcome. Rev. 21:4 "'And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.'"
