Why do Christians HATE HEAVEN?

Question

If Christians are so loving, why do they block medical research and the cause of science?

They say we are tampering with things we do not understand yet. That science could unleash deadly viruses, blow us all up, turn us away from God. But hasn't God left us to our own devices?

Logical people know we should not hold any limitations to science. We should change as we see fit, as is natural to the environment. Progress should be the route to transcendance, not bowing down to a stale, half-forgotten religion!

Why are they so afraid of stem-cell research? Is it because it could save so many lives? Or is it because it offends their cruel, backward-looking perspective? We already have the technology to grow limbs and organs for the sick, control our birth rates, repair the environment. But they respond with vicious fear and scare tactics!

The door is in front of us, wide open. All we need do is take the final step - make THIS WORLD our Heaven - and NOT another Christian HELL!

Answer 1

You make an excellent point. I am a Christian and I don't a stand against any science, even evolution unless it involves killing and egg that has been fertilized. We don't know at what point God puts the soul into the baby's body inutero, it may be at the moment of conception and it may not. But either way, you are still keeping that life that God started from ever existing, we are steeling someone's life they would've had if we kill a fertilized egg at any point inutero. The rest of Christiendom that is against other forms of science has issues that they need to get over. That's my opinion. Good question.

Answer 2

Science has generated as many, if not more problems than it has solved. Today's "wonder cure" is frequently tomorrow's front page horror story. . .think Thalidomide, DDT, and all of the other marvels of science that went just a tad bit wrong somewhere.

And not holding limitations to science has a very familiar ring to it, if you're recall your history. Josef Mengele and Horst Schumann are examples of what happens when there are no restraints to what can and can't be done in the name of "humanity."

Scientific research can be a good thing, but when it's used without regard to morality or ethics, it becomes its own little god. And that god demands frequent sacrifices of the helpless who cannot defend themselves -- the unborn, disabled, and the elderly being among them.

In case you hadn't noticed, this world is already hell, thanks in part to the "no restraints" idea that you propose. Christian morality demands an accounting and responsibility that keeps science productive and not destructive.

Answer 3

You are a bit misinformed or mixed up - in Heaven, Christians will be perfect and will have complete use of the minds that are so limited now; we will have complete understanding of everything; there is more to Heaven than "hymn singing", there will be work for us to do (not like the toiling that mankind is subject to now, but more like what Adam did before the Fall), we will fellowship with loved ones and the folks of the Bible...all this + the known tortures, etc that the Lake of Fire has in it are more than adequate reasons to want to be in Gods' Kingdom

Answer 4

Hell, buddy , you have ALL the answers, where's the question?
Grow limbs? I love sci-fi too, but I don't believe it.
Repair the environment, in ten or twenty lifetimes of no pollution, no HEAT, no meat, etc.
Half-forgotten, I pray a couple of times a day. Maybe you ought to try it
As long as there are people with their faults in this world this is the closest some of US will ever come to HELL.

Answer 5

You write as if you know the answer!
Some may say that life on earth is hell, and that heaven is when one dies.
Don't they say "Only the good die young?"
Isn't it also the 'not knowing' 100% which gives us faith? It's the little itty bits which keep us on our toes.
With regards to science, medical or otherwise; there are always those who are prepared to stand in the way of progress; why tarnish one religious group?
Ok, I've said enough.
Have a good day.

Answer 6

You must be a liberal. You can't make a point without insulting Christians and misrepresenting whatever your issue is.

I think I'll coin a new phrase, "shock politics"--the attention deficit syndrome of liberals of the 21st century.

(Logical and informed people know that treatments from stem cells other than your own are rejected, and there's actually very little promise from the research. But what do a handful of doctors know in the full onslaught of liberal logic?)

Answer 7

Eh, I'm not so sure what you mean by blocking away science..I'm all for science, in Genesis God says to subdue the earth, that would mean learning about it -THROUGH- scientific means of exploration. We learn about how life works and all that, I'm not against science at all, just maybe some aspects of what the scientists try to do with it.

Answer 8

Why would Christians hate heaven. It is a place I know I am going and I love heaven already because it is a place of holiness. I have not met a true christian yet that has said they heate heaven. If a christian is saying it, then I would like to know why.

Answer 9

first of all, us christions want to go to heaven like every beliver in Jesus Christ. Science is not the answer to God's past and wont be to God's future. Science thinks that Judgment day will come so and so and the Bible sais that it will come when Jesus is ready for it to com. The Bible is what you should go by every day.

Answer 10

by blocking medical research you mean embrionic cloning??? or do you have something else in mind

Chrstians generally have no problem with the vast majority of medical research, but because of respect for life generally oppose embrionic cloning

but to be honest, secular Europe does not like embrionic cloning, it tears at the fabric of huminity too much
