So in Heaven, you stop trying to enjoy the things you like now and only serve God?

Question

That's not fair to the ones who never had a chance to live life.

It sounds to me like a young, healthy man who's a millionaire here on Earth with a loving family has it better than someone in Heaven has to keep bowing down and worshipping God if they don't want God to cast them down into Hell. At least this guy has something called "freedom" and only goes to church once a week, rather than every single second for eternity.



I don't know about you, but after I die someday and am in Heaven, I'd rather live out all my fantasies that I have now and occasionaly worship God and thank him rather than have my balls cut off, lose all sexual desire, have my archilles heels and knees sliced up where I'd have no choice but to keep bowing down and serving and worshipping God for all eternity without rest.


What about you?
Which would you rather experience in Heaven someday?

Answer 1

Once you are in heaven, you do not get "cast out" for any reason, and all those in heaven do not constantly bow down to God. They enjoy paradise and true happiness.

Answer 2

In the realm of time, .... life is actually pretty quick. So if we burn up all of our chips (desires, fantasies, and etc.) while we are alive then eternity might be a long miserable time. When your dead your not going to enjoy all the material stuff you worked hard to earn while you were alive. It's true that your children and etc. will enjoy your money during their life... but you'll still be dead.

Maybe in heaven there is a peace that we cannot experience while we are alive. Keep in mind that sex and money are only human desires. When we die all that will cease to exist. In time we will all be in a grave in some cemetary (unless your cremated). One has to think there is a bigger picture for us somewhere.

No one has to believe in God. It's all a personal choice. One thing is for sure, .... it would be a bummer if one did not believe and we died and found out that there is a God. No turning back then. You made your choice. On the other hand, ... if there is no God then your just dead. So what's the harm in having faith and hoping for an eternity of peace?

Yea, ... life can be a bummer with these decisions. One thing is for sure ..... we are all gonna be there one day.

Answer 3

Your question is a loaded one, and so this is stressful to respond to. Of which heaven are you conversing? The Christian one? The Jewish one? The Islamic one? additionally, you presuppose that heaven would be a self-denying journey without entertainment in any respect. of course somebody "religious" has offended you with their theory of godliness, and you have used it as a justification for living your life in accordance to hedonism. additionally, your information of God is a pagan one. What you're searching for isn't a appropriate being, yet a accessible little souvenir like a fortunate rabbit's foot which you would be able to rub collectively and thank in case you narrowly avert a motor vehicle twist of destiny yet altogether forget approximately in the experience that your life is going advantageous. in case you prefer to be a hedonist, so be it. relish the chlamydia, it fairly is the present that retains on giving.

Answer 5

According to the bible, all those gifts that young happy millionaire have are simply material goods. They are useless. True happiness and pleasure comes from worship of the lord, not material gains.

I'm not a religious man, so I wouldn't understand this happiness. However, according the the bible spiritual happiness is infinitely better than material happiness.

Answer 6

A friend pointed out this error to me a couple of weeks ago, when he asked "If all we do in heaven is worship God, then why don't I just go to hell?"
At that moment it hit me, and I realized that the only entity that the Bible shows demanding such worship of us is Satan himself.
Your point is more than valid, and you are far closer to holiness than they are, as God wants us to serve him by having sex with someone we are committed to (not necessarily married to, I know God loves it when I make love to my girlfriend), enjoying a drink once in a while, making money for ourselves and our families and loving life.
Jesus condemned the same people you are upset with, saying " The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, I came that they might have life and that more abundantly."
Worshipping God is not about going to church, it's about loving him for who he is, which is good. Please understand that when Christians go to church, their love of self-mutilation and humiliation shows that they are not worshipping a loving God, but the Satan that wants them to eat excrement all day long.
When you get home today, worship God by having an orgasm and a nice glass of beer, he'll love you for it.

Answer 7

You put away earthly things and focus on god while letting the Holy Spirit work with in you. You go to heaven with the character you develop through God here. If it is not right here you are not taking it there.

Answer 8

You have no clue that Jesus came to give us life, and give it to us more abundantly (John 10:10), you wouldn't know that Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us (John 14:2). You can do what you want in your place with God. This is not too hard to believe.

Answer 9

God is where you are.
In your heart.
Its not about religion.
Its about what is in your heart. Your decisions. Your compassion for the living.
Your attitude toward charitable causes. Your respect for your mother. The love of God.
Its not in church, its not in heaven or hell, its right there, in your thoughts in your heart.
There that is God.
