Pheew! I have many things to say about Heaven. It's a place of endless bliss. All the things that make us sad here won't be there.

I can very much assure you that all my thoughts on the question are contained in that link.

1. There will be no death.

2. There will be no disease of any form.

3. There will be no stress. There will be no hunger.

4. GOD Himself will be seen face to face.

5. There will be no war. There will be no insecurity.

Jesus came from heaven to earth to show us the way, and then from the earth to the cross our debts to pay. From the cross to the grave and from the grave to heaven and we await His return to earth to take us home. smiley

1. GOD is infinite. He is a mystery in Himself. Moreover, His ways and His thinking is far above our finite comprehension. A Creator who is able to bring this highly complex Universe into existence is certainly can't be discovered fully even throughout eternity. In Heaven, as we continue to discover how majestic and excellent and magnificent He is, we would only be compelled to praise Him the more.

2. We will live like normal Humans in Heaven. We will build houses, aside the mansions we would own in GOD's golden city, Jerusalem. We will study. We will continue to discover more about GOD's creation. We don't know how many stars there are in the Universe now, but we will know then. We can travel to any galaxy we want and check out anything we want. We will have all eternity to unravel the mystery and beauty of Creation.

- First comprehending infinity is useless and irrelevant. ever wondered why nobody has bothered trying to find out just how far numbers [1,2,3....] goes...

-Second so it all boils down to praising God for all time?

-Third, wont this creator be undoubtedly more complex, precise and beautiful than the universe in your own idea?


2. We will live like normal Humans in Heaven. We will build houses, aside the mansions we would own in GOD's golden city, Jerusalem. We will study. We will continue to discover more about GOD's creation. We don't know how many stars there are in the Universe now, but we will know then.

What about sex, marriage and food we get to do those too?

Hmm. I can relate to your feelings. Some people also feel that it is useless to be alive.

There is no forced praise in Heaven. Even here on earth, we admire and stand in awe of great men. We even sing their praises. Why? Because we feel they are worthy of it, either by virtue of their statuses or by virtue of their achievements. That is exactly what's gonna happen in Heaven. As we see GOD for how awesome He is, we cannot resist praising Him.

There's no marriage in Heaven. There's no sex there. There's no need for that.

We won't have this type of bodies, actually, in Heaven. We'll be like angels.

A human certainly can as a being with choice unless you take away the ability to choose - Only then can the bolded hold true ego it becomes forced.

Doesn't this then contradict your very own assertion above " We will live like normal Humans in Heaven. We will build houses"

even study and travel - what then is there to be more human than sex, food and marriage..

Why then do you think they are unneeded but study, building and travelling are ...?

Who happens to need houses and golden mansions - Yes?

You're right. smiley We won't have the choice to sin again in Heaven. Those who will be saved are those who recognise that even eternity is not enough to tell of GOD's glory.

Jesus Christ tells us we will be like angels in Heaven. Neither sex nor procreation is needed in Heaven. The population of Heaven is innumerable. The urge for sex won't even be there.

Yes. We'll learn in Heaven. Any type of wholesome learning you can think of.

that is more so unhuman way to live and without choice makes one just a mindless droid..

So heaven makes one mindless?


Those who will be saved are those who recognise that even eternity is not enough to tell of GOD's glory.

For what purpose exactly is repeating God's glory going to serve?

- it will make God happier than he/she already is?
-make it more powerful?
-make more Godly than it already is?


Jesus Christ tells us we will be like angels in Heaven. Neither sex nor procreation is needed in Heaven. The population of Heaven is innumerable. The urge for sex won't even be there.
there is a difference between need for sex [human procreation] and urge [libido]

So why then would we have urge to study, travel, praise, recognizs joy and bliss but not other impulses not to talk of one as intrinsic as sex?

Doesn't this contradict your post that " We will live like normal Humans in Heaven. We will build houses"

why do you think sex is No but others are yes?

Is there anything wrong in sex ?


Yes. We'll learn in Heaven. Any type of wholesome learning you can think of.

Why would we need houses, mansions, study and travel but not others like sex, food and marriage?

Sounds like a selective interface due to doctrinal preference..

johnydon22,

The choice to be in Heaven, first of all, is made here on earth. By striving to enter Heaven, you know you're striving to enter a place where you can't sin. You're striving to enter a place where you cannot go against GOD's will. So nobody will feel forced to do anything in Heaven. No hypocrite will be there. You can't be there because you're afraid of hell. You'll be there because you want to obey GOD forever.

I desire to behold GOD's glory. Such glory that transcends the beauty of the Universe. It's a choice, anyway.

Hmm. It seems sex is important to you. If you miss Heaven, you won't get the sex either. You can only have sex here on earth. We'll eat in Heaven, anyway. Jesus promised not to taste of the fruit of the vine again until He does so with us in Heaven.

The Bible says there will be no sea in the new earth which GOD will make. Asking the question "is anything wrong with sex?" is just like asking "is anything wrong with the sea?"

GOD decided two of them won't be in Heaven.

" You're right. We won't have the choice to sin again in Heaven.

That was your assertion as regards the state of being in heaven, the choice in question is not about earthly choices or why you want to go to heaven.

The issue about the bolded words above - doesn't that your idea show that heaven make mindless drones out of humans?


Hmm. It seems sex is important to you. If you miss Heaven, you won't get the sex either. You can only have sex here on earth. We'll eat in Heaven, anyway. Jesus promised not to taste of the fruit of the vine again until He does so with us in Heaven.

This in no way addresses the question - the question is simple, why you think there'd be no sex, food and marriage in heaven but there'd be study, travel and houses?


The Bible says there will be no sea in the new earth which GOD will make. Asking the question "is anything wrong with sex?" is just like asking "is anything wrong with the sea?"

'No more sea' in no way means "no more water' because a sea is not the only configuration of earthly water bodies known.

So the question remains - why do you think 'Food and sex' are absolute exemptions even though we still have needs like for study, houses and mansions - why not for these too?


GOD decided two of them won't be in Heaven.

God did really? Or you did?

- I don't remember any part of the bible suggesting interstellar travel / study as the heavenly pass time activities either.

so?
Re: What Is Heaven Like? by DoctorAlien(m): 2:26am On Oct 09, 2016
johnydon22,

LOL. To help you understand why there would be no choice to sin in Heaven: do you have any choice right now but to breathe? If no, why?

Why don't you question nature as to why food has to go through the mouth and why the heart always has to beat? Doesn't that make us mindless drones who have no choice but to continue to eat through the mouth, and have a noise-making drum in our chests?

LOL. I think the answer to the sex question is "it is not needed there."

We will eat in Heaven.

To imply that we cannot explore the vast expanse of GOD's Creation in Heaven would be a heavy lie.

Yes i can choose to hold my breath - very wrong example

digestive system did not require your opinion before being there and it is different from actions due to volition because it requires what you want or choose to do.

Body parts are different from volitive action, sin is a volitive action and therefore must require the mind to or not to do it.

…… i must say these are rather weak defence and they are disappointing.


LOL. I think the answer to the sex question is "it is not needed there."

why?


We will eat in Heaven.
You just contradicted yourself again, just few posts above you are the one that said there is no eating.

I believe you now know you are the person right who is choosing what you think will happen in heaven or not using "God chooses" as a validating line.


To imply that we cannot explore the vast expanse of GOD's Creation in Heaven would be a heavy lie.

And sex is not part of God's creation? - You see brother this is still weak.
