If Eternal life was really possible would you actually want it?

Question

Would you really want to exist in one form or another for 10000000000000000000 billion, repeating forever,.....billion years?

Think about it. After 1000 billion billion years, forever hasn't even begun! That sounds like a nightmare/hell to me. Eventually I think you would have your fill of existence and would beg for the "big sleep".

Life is great because it doesn't last forever. Death keeps life in balance. Death is the price you pay for existence.

Even in "spiritual form" eternity is too long.

Answer 1

Absolutely not - in fact, I think it would be the ultimate hell.....

Answer 2

Is Eternal Life Possible

Answer 3

I think I'm the only person who would want Eternal life, i don't see immortality as hell but as an endless adventure, whether it'd be on Earth, Space or countless other planets, if i'd want to Rest in Peace, i would just go to sleep and rise up the next day or maybe hibernate but not die, remember the Universe is infinite, plus you have plenty of time to train, explore and become stronger, you'd be like the real life Superman.

Answer 5

There is nothing we can do to be "good enough". Even 1 sin is enough to condemn us to hell because heaven is a perfect place and sin cannot be there. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Salvation is a gift and it cannot be earned or deserved. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Answer 6

I've debated this one before. I'm terrified of death, but I'm not sure I'd want eternal physical life either. Part of it is still fear of the unknown: life in a billion years will be radically different than it is now. we can't even guess what that may be. And then I start thinking scientific issues, such as what do I do when the sun burns out? Do i perpetually freeze almost to death, alone? (since there's no guarantee that intellstellar travel will ever be worthwhile)

Answer 7

Yes, living eternally would be hell. After doing everything there is to do a million gazillion times, I'd be begging God to throw me into the lake of fire (and then cease to exist!)

Answer 8

You don;t seem to have the Bible picture about Heaven and eternity... The never ending for ever and ever thing.

By believing in Jesus and being “saved” you will get one of the first seats in Heaven to watch how the vast majority of the human beings including your “unsaved” family members and old acquaintances will be tormented in a sulfuric Hell fire lake or what have you for ever and ever and you will get a chance to poke fun and tease at them all you want for ever and ever… That’s HEAVEN! No wonder Jesus said that you must hate your father and your mother and everybody else to follow him, especially if they are "unsaved" and go to HELL! You will hear a lot of “I told you so…” from Sweet Jesus!

Luke 16:23-25-NIV (Jesus is telling us…) AND BEING IN TORMENTS IN HELL, he* (*a rich man in Hell) lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; FOR I AM TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME.’(and Jesus all excited continues the story telling…) But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and YOU ARE TORMENTED! (Hey, these are words of Sweet Jesus… he will enjoy watching the Christians teasing those in HELL!)

Revelation 14:10-11 "he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. HE WILL BE TORMENTED WITH BURNING SULFUR in the presence of the holy angels and of the LAMB* (*aka God the Son Jesus Christ, and some Christians who will ALWAYS be with him wherever he goes/John 17:24). And the smoke of their torment rises FOR EVER AND EVER. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."

As you can see it will go on for ever and ever!

Answer 9

My ideal is to live until I know longer want to. My guess is it would be a lot lot longer than the ~80 years or so I'm likely to have.

Answer 10

I would imagine living for that long would get boring on this planet. But it'd be cool to live till the time when we can go to space and go to a different planet. Yeah, I would probably resist suicide just to see that.

Answer 11

FYI- eternal life is possible- and you have a choice where you are going to spend it- without Christ, in hell, with the forgiveness of sins through Christ- in heaven. There is no question that we live forever.
