yes that does sound pretty boring, but that is not my way of interrupting the scriptures.
or for that matter my concept of Heaven.
the bible says that we will only be in Heaven for seven years, and then God will recreate a new Earth, and there will be plenty of things to do, but it will be thing that we enjoy doing.

It's the difference between doing something out of obligation or doing something out of love. Think of it in terms of having to visit your least favorite relative and visiting the person you love the most.
If you visit Aunt Martha out of duty, everything will seem boring and dull. But when you spend time with your mom (or grandparents or whoever), you enjoy being with that person. You thank them for the great meals and the fun and all that they've done for you.
1Corinthians 2:9 says, But as Scripture says: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him."
No more tears, no more separation from those we love, an eternity with the Father Who loves us so much that He created a place of unimaginable beauty for us. . .yeah, I think I could be very thankful and grateful for that.
BTW, I'd love to know the actual Scripture passage that you mentioned. I can't come up with anything that even comes close to that. Please cite the specific verses -- thanks.

The only thing your serious about, is your confused state of ridiculous ramblings!! Truth is your last desire, you just want to be heard as the most nonsensical person you can muster-up! Congratulations, you get the award!! By the way, Their is no creation more creative than the Creator. For you to entertain the thought that we all sit around on clouds singing is the height of arrogance. Nothing is impossible with God, everything wonderful and awesome comes from the mind and Word of His power.We'll have glorious celestial bodies, transport and translate from planet to planet, galaxy to galaxy.We won't have to open our lips to speak but communicate spirit to spirit. All forms of God given creative power that Father rewards us with is His perfect choice.Man has barely scratched the surface of design, imagination,and the articulation of universal function. And without the Creators input, mankind is lost as a goose, calling wise ,the absurd.Calling ,good- what is evil, and destructive,and calling evil- all that is clean,decent and life producing. You won't have to protect the earth from green house gas'es because the earth will be canopied as it was in the beginning(indeed far greater then our understanding can contemplate) Singing praises to God ? What would you do if your voice carried the essence of streams, flutes,cellos,soft breezes, yet,distinct, ethereal personal quality of you alone singing in perfect pitch and harmonies to your wonderful Father and king Jesus(Yeshua).The reason you find it so difficult to relate to what The Father has in store for you is because He's not YOUR Father! You see I have a problem NOT relating to my imminent future, I know Him through His Word and His Holy Spirit, who has taken up residence in me, He leads and guides me along the journey and empowers me for action, in the work He assigns to me. He doesn't just tell me what He thinks, He knows the end from the beginning. Every prophecy ever prophesied has come to pass except the ones yet to unfold. Oh, yes, and that one conceited deity of whom your referring? Healed my son supernaturally of cancer, my husbands back(he was told hed never walk straight or without a limp) He is now whole, took an impossible marraige and breathed life into it, now deeply in love and alive. But the best part is, He was so busy obsessing with himself that He knelt in a special garden and sweat great drops of blood as He so selfishly said,"FATHER NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE!" Then He was beat beyond recognition, whipped 39times(for 39 main diseases) had a crown of two inch thorns placed on His head so our minds could be healed,delivered and set free, and was nailed to hang on a cross for criminals of which He was the opposite,raising the dead,healing the sick, casting out demonic and tormenting spirits.All so that the lost could find their way back home to there Father, and once again walk and talk and, oh yes , even sing with Him a new song, a song that pours out of greatfullness and overwhelming joy for the fact that, He came after us and rescued us when we didn't even know how lost we were.He loved us with an everlasting love. Can't ask Him questions? Ask, and it shall be given unto you ,seek and you will find, knock and it shall be opened to you,anyone who ask receives,and he who seeks finds and knocks and it is open. He with holds nothing from those who walk upright and seek to please and honor Him. He's the only accurate question answerer there is and all wisdom, knowledge,and understanding come with and from Him. So, Seriously, next time your making another serious attempt at not not giving a hoot about what your saying,or how much your sowing ignorance into your own heart ,beware, The Holy Spirit may use a second party to invade your simple space, or may even may even make Himself real right where you sit. He must love you very much to have me sit this long writing this, but then again, Fathers love is everlasting....

There are a lot of things I have difficulty imagining. On the earth made new we will be gardening without death, so there won't be any compost. I'm sure YHVH has that worked out too, but I can't visualize how it is going to work. I am confident that as much as the Messiah YAHOSHUA has already done for my health and happiness, He is not expecting me to endure boredom throughout eternity, but that life with Him will be beyond my wildest dreams in happiness and fulfillment.

I don't think that's the only thing that will be going on in heaven. I expect it will also be a place of great learning, a chance to really develope our minds and talents, can you imagine how cool it will be to go to something like a physics 101 course taught by a heavenly being.

The Bible tells us that there will be no more tears or sadness. That the lion will lie down by the lamb. Which tells me there will be animals. I can only imagine what heaven would be like. I don't think it will be a place that we would want to leave. It says we will be perfect. So you won't have a horrible voice. No blemishes, no disease, no wars.
But, I guess you could always choose hell. If you prefer crying and gnashing of teeth. Pain and thirst.

It doesnt literally mean that. I say a statement like "I will follow you all of my days" and "I will worship you forever." It doesnt mean literally that Im going to spend every single waking hour of my life in physical worship, it just means my life is going to be devoted to him and Im going to seek him out always for the rest of my life. Like wise in Heaven.
Yes we will have new bodies in Heaven, new voices, new songs, everything will be made new!

Praise God that He gave us brains and intelligence to boot. I wasn't aware that believing in God meant that we cannot have lives that involve work and school and friends and family? Wow. Again...amazing what some people will say when they don't agree with something....or more over, don't even know about.
You know what's more amazing is His wonderful love. You should actually try and read the Bible and go and talk to a pastor and engage him in conversation. Much more productive than sitting on Yahoo Answers and spewing your uneducated rhetoric to such a narrow audience.

Here's what Mark Twain said about it:
"While it might sound pretty coming from the pulpit, singing hymns and waving palm branches seems as poor a way to spend eternity as a body can imagine."

I guess being tormented in hell FOREVER sounds more appealing?
After the 7 year tribulation,Jesus returns to put an end to mankind destroying each other. Then He sets up His reign on EARTH. We (who believe) will be BACK on earth as foretold in Revelation. A new heavens and earth,in fact.
