and saw the Lord and He gave you the option of staying with Him or returning to earth to finish out your allotted time down here which would you choose?

His will be done.
If I have the choice - stay, obviously.
Psalm 84:10 (NIV)
Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
Selah

Well, if I died tonight I would think my 'allotted time' was up already...I should hope I end up with Him. The great part about this is that I already know I would for the simple fact I've asked Jesus into my heart and I've made Him Lord and Savior of my life. So, I would most definitely stay with Him for all eternity...

I'd finish --- just like Paul did. After all, Paul says he 'knew a man who went to the third heaven' --- sounds an awful lot like he was that man, non? I think after you see the Lord like that and have a profound understand of His character, His heart for you, and His heart for others, you're pretty unstoppable in terms of doing His work.
That's why I pray every day that *I* will see the third Heaven and/or the Lord Jesus before I die --- so that I'll have that kind of passion and be anointed with that kind of power from on high --- to serve Him of course!
That's not to say it would be easy --- Paul makes it clear that for him it was hard for him to return to earth after seeing Heaven. It would be an incredible challenge! But what matters more, a few extra years in an eternity in Heaven or a few extra years to save souls on Earth? :)

If I could chose then I would stay with him, If I were to go there it would be hard to leave. At the same time I would want to come back, I have all ways thought that if I went to heaven and had seen Jesus's face then it would be like as if I touched his robe, like in the bible. I want to see more people healed and people come to Jesus and go after him with all their hearts! Also I think it would give me a boldness to say yes even unto death.

I'd like to think that I would like to come back and be with my family. The truth is that I think I would likely want to stay. My children are grown. I am well aware that there are plenty of people who need Jesus so that is more than enough reason to stay here.

This is a difficult question for me. I would want to come back because of my children, but to be with Him would be too wonderful. I guess I know that I am not going to die, until I am finished with what I was created to do here.

I'd stay with Jesus, if I was to return to earth I'd probably mess up, so I'd stay to make sure I'd be with him for all eternity...unless he said I have an important job to do, then I'd go and do it, other wise I'd stay put.
