Humans can experience sadness, happiness, anger, surprise, disgust, fear, neutrality - in Heaven you *only* feel happiness. As humans, how can we live with only one emotion for ETERNITY? Then we're just happy drone freaks forever and ever. Which in and of itself is suffering. Can't you realize that Heaven is actually Hell?

^This shows how, according to the Bible scripture, you cannot feel anything besides happiness.

"God is already there and has felt sadness, jealousy and anger."
So God, a being that SURPASSES humans in all ways, can feel HUMAN emotions?
That's contradictory.

"contentment, love, peacefulness"
Those are all happiness. Except love can include challenges and marriage which cannot occur in Heaven. Those are Earthly things.

I disagree. heaven is much more than being happy. It's contentment, love, peacefulness, and working with God . God understands man and knows man must be productive and have a purpose to be happy.

I came to that conclusion very early on. I've decided by now that I don't believe in Heaven as most Christians might describe it. For one thing, I don't think Heaven is something that a person can truly comprehend or imagine with human senses or feelings. It's just beyond us, much as God is beyond us. This is a large part of why it can be disturbing to think of Heaven.
Secondly, I believe in reincarnation. I think existence itself is a challenge, an endless mountain-climbing expedition, with God at the summit. Over lives, people climb toward God or move away from God (figuratively, of course), as their choices dictate. Thus, I don't think that there is truly a finite place called Heaven where a person just sits around and is happy forever. There will always be variation, always something new and different to explore and experience. Perhaps as one moves to different levels of existence, new emotions or sensations which we as humans can't even conceive of open up. I don't know, I can't claim to understand how such things work.
Whatever the case may be, I try not to think about the afterlife. What's important right now is THIS life. God, being omniscient, omnipotent, and Himself immortal, knows how to make the afterlife work. I can't understand it, but I don't need to understand it or even know anything about it.

Let me get this straight, your source for info about heaven is YouTube? You definitely have a more serious problem.
How about the simple truth found in the Bible? That flesh and blood cannot enter into heaven. (1Cor. 15:50) What is the purpose for humans going to heaven in the first place? Luke 22:28-30 shows us Jesus started this new covenant for his people to go to be both kings and priests with him in his Kingdom. Certainly to do this effectively, more than one emotion is needed. Empathy for one.

Who told you what people feel in heaven?
God is already there and has felt sadness, jealousy and anger.

Who is so masoquist that want to expirience sadness for eternity? I prefer to be cool & happy in heaven than sweating / burning / suffering in the lake of fire.
