i dont understand, say i die, and i go to heaven, what then is there cable in heaven??? is there icecrea, greys anatomy? ido we just sit on clouds all day , i dont think so, also if a baby dies what does it do in heaven for all of eternity.??? and think about how many ppl have died, isnt it a little ridiculous to say souls keep adding up in heaven?? i believe after we die our sould are recyleced and we become babies again. That ultimately makes sense to me since every person has their own defintiton of heaven so it wouln't make sense that htere is only one heaven for everyone@@!!!!!

Well, you are kind of saying, "Gods way is stupid. If I were God I would..." But we are not God, we do not know all that He knows. Here on earth we have a sinful nature, we crave things that are not good for us, we tend to normalize things which are sinful until it is easy to say "everyone is doing it, so it must be ok" But if you look at the world around us, the violence, the immorality, teen pregnancy, divorce, child abuse, child abandonment, rape, the continual focus on "me" and what makes "me" happy.

When we put ourselves in authority instead of God we get to the point where all these sinful things become commonplace. We cannot imagine life without it. But look just 50 years ago compared to now. There was less divorce, less teen pregnancy, less drug abuse, less violence, but then there was less of that on TV as well. I mean I love Greys Anatomy, I watch it every week, but look at the characters. Meridith has many one night stands, Izzy sleeps around, Mc Dreamy was married and then divorced because his wife cheated. There is more sex than medicine on this show, and no one is married. And no one is happy either. Look at all the shows targeted at teens, how many show characters having sex? Watch the View (again, I watch this) and you here Joy talking about how she doesn't need to be married to be happy with her man, in fact marriage would ruin it, Rosie is gay and would love to have the rights of a married person, but can't. People have children out of wedlock on purpose or divorce because they expected to be totally happy and fullfilled all the time and weren't. The sizzle is gone time to move on.

And if you look at all these examples, their lives are filled with heartache, disappointment, depression, self loathing, anger, frustration, therapy, disillusionment, lonliness, they are constantly seeking that thing that can fullfill them or they live a jaded life of sarcasm and disappointment because they have decided this is as good as it gets.

We don't do a good job when we play God. We are too ignorant of each other, ignorant of the past, the future, and the long term results of our actions. We are too focused on ourselves. We are only at our best when we focus on others, and we are not capable of focusing on EVERYONE. Only God is. So at some point you have to decide to trust Him or to not, and then be willing to accept the consequences. Because no matter how much you think your idea makes sense, you cannot make it reality. I mean I think the idea of me winning the lottery and traveling the world sounds like a really good idea, but so far I haven't found a way to make it happen.

Now, to address some of the other things you said. Do we just sit on clouds all day? No. Heaven is partially desctibed in the bible. There are wall surrounding it that are like diamonds, it is a huge place. From the measurements given in the bible it is a 1500 square mile cube. If there are 20 billion people in Heaven, and there probably won't be because not everyone is saved, everyone would have 75 acres all to themselves. Personally, I hope there are more people, I can do with a lot less than that. I live in 1600 square feet on less than 1/4 acre and share it with 5 other people. I don't need 75 acres to feel blessed.

There are gates that are huge pearls, not made of pearl, but actual pearls set into the walls. The walls are 200 feet thick. It is a safe place. It is set on 12 foundations. It is a stable place. It will not shake or crumble. The streets are gold. Here on earth gold is our most treasured comodity, the whole world economy is built on it. In heaven it is just asphalt. Heaven is a place of mansions and living water. It is an opulant place of great riches and beauty. Our greatest earthly treasures are garbage in heaven.

There is no sickness, no violence, no handicaps, no death, no floods, earthquakes, or devistation, no mourning, no crying, no pain, no lonliness, no hospitals, no funerals, no divorce, no abandonment. No more bad memories, no strain, no stress, no scars on our hearts. All your emotional and physical suffering will be gone, you won't even have a memory, or to me if you do it will be like the memory of child birth, you remember that it hurt, but the result is so amazing it becomes a distant small thing. You know it hurt, but you don't remember it really.

Can you even imagine that? Really, look at your life and imagine the most beautiful thing you ever saw, the most loved you ever felt, the most at peace, the time when you were happiest. And the bible promises that the greatest that we experience on earth is just a shadow of what is in heaven. A shadow. The greatest thing we have ever seen, touched, tasted, smelled, heard, or felt here on earth is nothing compared to what is in heaven.

So, there may not be ice cream, but there will be something even better and it won't make us fat or sick. Sounds pretty good.

I don't know what a baby does in heaven, I don't know what anyone does there. Maybe we are all restored to a certain age, whether we live that long or not. I know that we are given a knowledge we do not currently have, we will be able to see the big picture. But what exactly happens we don't know. We are given promises that let us know it will be amazing, and in my personal opinion I think maybe it isn't described more in detail because we just could not comprehend it. I mean for me the idea of a world totally without suffering, that is hard to imagine. Much more and I might not even have a context to put it in. So I stand on the promises that God has given me and let Him take it from there.

For you? You have a choice. You can try to be God and fail, or you can let Him handle all that for you. You can choose heaven or hell. Those are the only choices, there is no none of the above I want to do it my way choice. I know it is harsh, but it is just how it is. Believe me Christianity would be an easier sell if we could just say live a good life and blessings await, but it is just not how it is.

Hope this helps, sorry it was so long winded. If you have any questions feel free to email.

Well, let's try this for a minute.

You're using earthly things and human perception to relate to a different dimension. It's like asking a comic character whether their telephone will look the same in Heaven when we all know they look very different and telephones in our world look so much nicer. It's unfathomable.

Many people have different definitions of Heaven but they also have many different definitions for different persons. That doesn't mean they've got it right or really know who the person is.

Personally, if you want my opinion of Heaven, Heaven is like being with your best friends forever and ever. I may sound childish saying this, but won't everyone like that?

I believe in God.I don`t think intelligent people who have studied the Bible believe in Heaven and hell in a child like manner.We won`t sit on clouds.It`s not a fairy tale.Heaven and earth are very complex.There will be a new Heaven and a new earth,no more sea.Its in the Bible in Rev.There will be a city that God himself will dwell in that will come down from the third heaven.We will work and reign with Our Savior.The whole universe will be opened up to us.

Those talking about the prospect of boredom in heaven don't simply know what they are talking about.........Don't forget It's the Almighty God? I think I can stop being a child and simply trust Him for happiness that knows no boundaries.

Heaven is a wonderful place as described in the Bible.
even better because Peter could only describe it as what is beautiful on earth. the devil tries to make us think that going to heaven would get boring after a while but in reality you will never get bored because you will be to excited about meeting the Father. my question for you is what is your faith?clearly it cannot be Christianity because it doesn't say in the Bible that we will all be recycled as babies. the Word says that we will either have everlasting life with Jesus and God or burn forever in fiery realms of hell. if you have any doubts about your TRUE afterlife, ask your pastor.

That presupposes a finite number of souls. Otherwise heaven would be a really crowded place.
It's a strange concept at best: We're supposed to spend our lives on earth worshiping and praising gods. Our reward for this is to go to heaven and spend eternity worshiping and praising gods. I must have missed something somewhere; this doesn't sound like much of a reward.

In Heaven everybody will be required to shout praises to Jesus non-stop.

There will be no lunch breaks, no coffee breaks, no nap breaks, no breaks of any kind. There will be no parties, or any such stuff.

You will shout praises to Jesus continually. You will not be allowed to talk to each other. You will be bored out of your mind. You will soon wonder what it's like in Hell -- but you don't want to go there. The torments of Hell are far worse than the boredom of Heaven.

Sure is a problem isn't it? If it is anything like what the preachers of religion tell us then I sure don't want any part of it. So far all that have died before us have not told us anything about the after life. If there is then they would tell us so i would bet that there is not.

We are who we are and we are responsible for what we do and we are the ones that deside what we do.

what's incorrect with being married till loss of life? are you able to nevertheless do some thing on your loved ones while you're already back to airborne dirt and dirt? confident it does make experience to be which comprise your loved ones in heaven with God. yet that isn't the fact right here in this international, because of the fact this international is being ruled by the god of the international, the prince of the air or devil and devil. the international is already given into the hand of the depraved [job 9:24]. the only perfect way is the Lord Jesus Christ [John 14:6]. positioned up yourselves (which comprise the individuals of your loved ones) to God face up to the devil and he will flee from you [James 4:7]. i do wish you ought to understand my answer from the Holy Scriptures/Bible. in case you chosen to blind your concepts, God would be unhappy. to God be the distinction!

It gives you a reason to keep on living; like retirement gives people a reason to keep on working. But of course who has been to heaven or seen it ? I haven't, so does that mean it exists or it doesn't exit.Uhh believe what you want.
