phelonrays: Please can you elaborate on what you mean by rest? At a time i was in primary school and i remember how happy i was to overcome the struggle of entering secondary, greater is even the victory of the struggle of making it through my higher institution, there was a time my school was on long strike and i was home for almost a year, at the beginning i enjoyed the rest from the struggle but very soon i became desperately tired and can't wait to resume Now a working class, i enjoyed competing a project in my office and i can't just imagine someone telling me to retire now and no more struggle for me even if all my bills will be paid i will be bored to death 5 Likes 1 Share |

phelonrays:We will just be lazing around So you mean no more going to school, no more the thrills of learning something new, no more the thrills of facing new challenges and overcoming them All currently ongoing science research will be forced to an abrupt end (not just medically, in case we won't be sick) but amazing research into building better phones, softwares, interplanetary planes and big skyscraper Won't we be bored considering that there is nothing new for us the second day we enter heaven, everything will be the same forever We will only live in house jesus has built, even if it's built with 12th century tech We will probably be forbidden to improve on things we meet in heaven as we've excellently done on things we met on earth We will never grow a bit older and i want to believe (for the short ones among us, the won't grow taller either) Doesn't that look like we are stuck?

oluwaseyi000: It's the misinformed churchgoers and their religious leaders that's been spreading the fallacy! God never designed heaven for humans, because our nature is to live and do certain things with other fleshy creatures, so earth is man's permanent home! Psalms 115:16 Jesus promised few of his followers a heavenly life and he educated them on ©What they're going to do there. ©Why they must be taken there. ©How they'll live there. Jesus told them that they must obey all the rules he gave them and inculcate those rules in the minds of other humans, but those going to heaven will be chosen NOT by himself but by the person who determines whether one is suitable for heavenly life or earthly! Matthew 20:20-23 So it's not because one is virtuous or Christlike that makes one qualify for heaven! The everlasting life God promised faithful people is to be enjoyed here on earth NOT heaven! Psalms 37:29; Matthew 5:5 |

oluwaseyi000: Nothing moreooo... The bad news is that God is a master of failure.. He couldn't handle heaven with angels and allowed lucifer to do away with one third of his angels. He created earth and one would expect that the lessons he learnt from lucifer revolt would have helped him packege a better world... Still the world is in shambles. He even destroyed man with water after being angry that the world he created has gone hay wire only for the same sin he drowned everyone for to continue to wreck the world. He even sent himself to sacrifice himself to himself but nothing... How do u expect heaven to last long in peace? 4 Likes |

Seems this is the same nonsense he tried with Lucifer that made him made an almost successful attempt at overthrowing his ass, he (Satan) at least chartered away one-third of god angel, to me that's a successful and huge war bounty considering it to be the first ever war Mine own uprising will be worse, if all on God mind is his own selfishness and telling me my own pleasure doesn't count, only his own count, abi? I will only sing from 9am to 5pm and close for the day Monday to Friday, whatever I do after is not his business May he no whine me o, may he no even reason am 4 Likes 1 Share |

The problem is that religion impacts the ability to think critically. Eternity is a really long time. I wonder what some Christians are thinking when they say they will sing "Hallelujah" forever. Like how is it supposed to be paradise if you been singing "Hallelujah" for 700 million years straight? A lot of them can't even handle 5-hour services in their churches without getting bored and tired. Some even dozing off in Sunday school lmao and they think they can endure eternity in excess of like 898,000,000,000 years in "god's presence." I always say that religion is mental illness. 2 Likes 1 Share |
