Thinkin about ones favorite dishes;my favorite, fufu wth Ede soup for d natural meals and spagetti for d synthetic as i jst had them 2day in separate meals & i wouldnt stop eatin dem for anything (at least for now). I begin 2 wonda, with the way the world especiially we Nigerians put interest in eating even at times overfilln ourselves to make sure we empty d whole plate.
At home, today the fridge is filled with assorted food, snacks and drinks, the next two days its empty!
Nowadays, inspite of poverty, most nigerians take appetizers equivalent to 3-square meal between their meals jst to have their mouth moving.
You can imagine about 7 people or more on a small pot of jollof rice both d hungry and the 'not hungry' day in day out. Its kind of getting 'scary' especially in mostly tertiary hnstitutions. it leaves me to wonda whether heaven can truely b enjoyable without my fufu & edesoup at least for those who would make heaven with me...?. Lol

Nnoo!
The answer is fasting without prayers.

this question no make sense at all..

@OP you won't have this fleshly body that requires food to survive, you will have a new spirit body that needs no food

I wish heaven should have been made to include of the foods on earth. I like food a great deal.

can we also play our favourite sports? Watch TV etc?

There is plenty food o.

kokabiel: @OP you won't have this fleshly body that requires food to survive, you will have a new spirit body that needs no food

Very true and no one said there is no food in heaven, then you eat because you want to not because you need to.

OP if you think you will really miss earth then you can stay behind, not everyone of the saints will go to heaven. I personally want to inherit the earth, it's what I say everyday. Despite the bible saying there will be a new heaven and earth, the new earth is ignored and everybody wants to enter heaven.

And who says der z no food in heaven?

brokoto: . . . and this made front page
wey those G unit people sef?

Well, dem don beg us, so we don retire! nairaland no be we own!!!!

Anyways @op,from what I've read, I'm made to know that in heaven we won't hunger, there'll be no need for food! no sicknesses, blemishes, diseases. Wars will cease, no discrimination, no tribalism and we won't be able to sin anymore! God help me to make heaven, AMEN!!!

Patience my dear, civilization and technology would gradually creep into heaven, just as it did to the earth you live in.

Just exercise more patience...cos I believe Isaac Newton, Greg Mendel, Micheal Faraday, Boyle, Gaylussa...etc are working on that

So by the time you get there, I believe the place would be extremely comfortable.

There will be food and drinks in Heaven. Jesus told his disciples,that he will not drink wine again on earth with them until they drink together in Heaven. More over, go read this book by *Choo Nam Thomas* HEAVEN IS SO REAL' u discover that there are varieties, even your fufu in Heaven lol

"Eat and drink with relish for what you did.(Surat al-Mursalat, 43)

The Qur'an announces that the people of Paradise are blessed with the finest food and various drinks. But since these people require no nourishment, we can understand that such food and drink have been created only to give pleasure.

This food resembles the food of this world. The people of Paradise will express this similarity in the following way:

Give the good news to those who believe and do right actions, that they will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. When they are given fruit there as provision, they will say: "This is what we were given before." But they were only given a simulation of it. They will have there spouses of perfect purity, and will remain there timelessly, forever. (Surat al-Baqara, 25)
Many foods in this world address people's appetites and give pleasure by their appearance and taste. Of course Allah can easily create similar foods in Paradise to give pleasure to believers. But, unlike with earthly food, there will be no need to worry about gaining weight, cholesterol, overeating, and so on, for Allah tells them: "Eat and drink with relish for what you did" (Surat al-Mursalat, 43) Being able to eat and drink beyond any reckoning is a delightfully pleasant reward.

In order to attain Paradise, people are tested in this earthly life. Believers show great effort and zeal in order to please our Lord, for they turn to Him sincerely, thank Him continually, pray to Him, and repent of their sins. As a reward, Allah offers them the blessings of Paradise.

Leading all of the food mentioned in the Qur'an is meat. In Paradise, Allah gives believers "any kind of fruit and meat that they desire" (Surat at-Tur, 22), and will offer them "any bird-meat they desire" (Surat al-Waqi'a, 22). Moreover, their food will "never run out" (Surah Sad, 54), because believers will"enter Paradise, provided for in it without any reckoning" (Surah Ghafir, 40).

They will be able to eat as much as they want, for the amount and types of food available will never decrease, and no one will be forced to stop eating due to being full or feeling sick.

Fruit is perhaps the food most often mentioned in the Qur'an. In Paradise, believers receive whatever type of fruit they desire. The Qur'an describes this:

Its shading branches will droop down over them, its ripe fruit hanging ready to be picked. (Surat al-Insan, 14)

Thus, we understand that fruits of Paradise grow on trees in natural surroundings and that believers can easily pick and eat them. Surat al-Waqi'a 28-29 mentions ""fruit-laden lote-trees with thorns removed" and "[banana] trees layered [with fruit]," meaning that the fruit can be obtained easily due to Paradise's infinite blessings.

The fruit it so plentiful that the tree branches cannot bear its weight, and it is easy to reach because the branches bend down to the ground.

This fruit may be offered freely on golden and silver trays and tastefully designed plates to believers, who are sitting on thrones and conversing with one another. Certainly all seeds and traces of rot and bruising that annoy people in this world have been removed, as befits Paradise. All fruits are offered to believers freely, with their eye-catching beauty and without blemish.

Fruit also adds further color and aesthetic beauty to Paradise. The sight of trees laden with all sorts of colorful fruits lends even more beauty to the wonderful landscape. The predominant color is green, and within that green are yellows, oranges, and reds that form a beautiful view that strikes the human eye. As an indication of Allah's mighty artistry, this view is another cause for thanksgiving.

Certainly, many kinds of drinks are also desirable. For instance, Surat as-Saffat, 45 mentions "a cup from a flowing spring passing round among them." In Paradise, believers are given "the choicest sealed wine to drink, whose seal is musk" (Surat al-Mutaffifin, 25-27). As these verses state, whatever they drink is also sweet-smelling and, of course, this wine is unlike any earthly wine.

The people who drink it will not become intoxicated or have their awareness impaired. Allah says that these drinks will be offered in glasses. They will not cause headaches, a loss of control of themselves, or any alteration in their minds. Young men whom Allah appointed for this service freely offer these drinks."

Those "technologies" you talk about won't be needed in heaven

Heaven is on earth or probably mars so don't be afraid there will be enough food to sustain d body and soul... U know what I mean

In the words of the Eternal Notorious B.I.G.

"When I die, fcck it I wanna go to Hell,
Cos I'm a piece of sh1t, it aint hard to fccking tell,
It dont make sense going to heaven with the goody-goodies dressed in white,
I like Black Tims and Black Hoodies
God will probably have me on some real strict sh1t
No sleepin' all day, no gettin my d1ck licked
Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise
Fcck that sh1t, I wanna tote guns and shoot dice"

This what I want to do when I die...minus the hell bit.

How about this:
(Psalm 72:16) . . .There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow. His fruit will be as in Leb′a·non, And those who are from the city will blossom like the vegetation of the earth.
(Isaiah 65:22) 22 They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full. . .
(Psalm 37:29) 29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.

ozo-dimgba:
Nnoo!
The answer is fasting without prayers.

You got me wondering!

Who said there is no food in heaven? Remember, God fed the Israelites in the wilderness with food meant for the Angels in heaven (manna).

my brother i blve u bt mke i ask o.kpekus go de heaven?

achi4u: Is this true?

Fulfilled prophecies indicate they will surely happen.

For a book that could tell 100's of years before science discovery that the earth of spherical and hangs upon nothing, what else do you think.
The Bible is scientifically accurate. It even contains information that was far ahead of its time. For example, the book of Leviticus contained laws for ancient Israel on quarantine and hygiene when surrounding nations knew nothing about such matters. At a time when there were wrong ideas about the shape of the earth, the Bible referred to it as a circle, or sphere. (Isaiah 40:22) The Bible accurately said that the earth ‘hangs on nothing.’ (Job 26:7) Of course, the Bible is not a science textbook. But when it touches on scientific matters, it is accurate. Is this not what we would expect of a book from God?


A BOOK OF PROPHECY
The Bible contains numerous prophecies, many of which have already been fulfilled. Consider an example. Through the prophet Isaiah, who lived in the eighth century B.C.E., Jehovah foretold that the city of Babylon would be destroyed. (Isaiah 13:19; 14:22, 23) Details were given to show just how this would happen. Invading armies would dry up Babylon’s river and march into the city without a battle. That is not all. Isaiah’s prophecy even named the king who would conquer Babylon—Cyrus.—Isaiah 44:27–45:2.
Some 200 years later—on the night of October 5/6, 539 B.C.E.—an army encamped near Babylon. Who was its commander? A Persian king named Cyrus. The stage was thus set for the fulfillment of an amazing prophecy. But would the army of Cyrus invade Babylon without a battle, as foretold?
The Babylonians were holding a festival that night and felt secure behind their massive city walls. Meanwhile, Cyrus cleverly diverted the water of the river that flowed through the city. Soon the water was shallow enough for his men to cross the riverbed and approach the walls of the city. But how would Cyrus’ army get past Babylon’s walls? For some reason, on that night the doors to the city were carelessly left open!
Regarding Babylon, it was foretold: “She will never be inhabited, nor will she reside for generation after generation. And there the Arab will not pitch his tent, and no shepherds will let their flocks lie down there.” (Isaiah 13:20) This prophecy did more than predict a city’s fall. It showed that Babylon would be desolated permanently. You can see evidence of the fulfillment of these words. The uninhabited site of ancient Babylon—about 50 miles [80 km] south of Baghdad, Iraq—is proof that what Jehovah spoke through Isaiah has been fulfilled: “I will sweep her with the broom of annihilation.”—Isaiah 14:22, 23.
Considering how the Bible is a book of reliable prophecy is faith strengthening, is it not? After all, if Jehovah God has fulfilled his past promises, we have every reason to be confident that he will also fulfill his promise of a paradise earth. (Numbers 23:19) Indeed, we have “hope of the everlasting life which God, who cannot lie, promised before times long lasting.”—Titus 1:2.

He is asking if SEX would be possible in heaven...

OP: hav u nt heard dat man shall nt liv by bread alone, bt by....

@talkingbird


thank you very much.
may God increase your knowledage.

jackbauersballs: He is asking if SEX would be possible in heaven...

I don't think so...cos if God allows sex in heaven, believe me sin would creep in gradually.

But I believe there are more enjoyments there than can replace the urge for sex.

blink182: Very true and no one said there is no food in heaven, then you eat because you want to not because you need to.

OP if you think you will really miss earth then you can stay behind, not everyone of the saints will go to heaven. I personally want to inherit the earth, it's what I say everyday. Despite the bible saying there will be a new heaven and earth, the new earth is ignored and everybody wants to enter heaven.

@post. Thats why i ask God to leave me behind here on earth during the rapture. I cant leave indomie and co behind.
