What Are We Supposed To Be Doing In Heaven ? by ZUBY77(m): 9:32pm On Apr 16, 2012
Please don't tell me what you dont know.
We have all heard so much good things about Heaven. Golden streets, flashy lights, good foods, Angels etc. What is so exciting about all that i mentioned above. I heard people dont die there, what is the value of life if there is no death ? Are we supposed to be praying and singing only to wake up and start all over again? Are we supposed to be wearing white garments only, what happens to my hugo boss and armani suits ?
All in all, doesnt Heaven sound boring to you since you can't do what you want ?
If there is a chance of me remaing here on Earth, that would be a huge relief.

Streets of Gold in the heaven...
I believe that those who have invented a heaven and wanted to idealize have exaggerated a bit with that ...
The old Yoruba saying that the world is a market for temporary stay, that our true home is Orun ...
Personally, I would not go to that heaven with streets of gold, angels with feathers (imagine the awful smell!), A god who plucks the harp horribly wrong, walking barefoot on clouds in winter! It may seem ironic but I do not like that heaven ...

How on earth did you know only the Christins are going there ? What happens to Buddhists, jews, billions of Muslims, Pagans etc? How dare you make conclussions for God?
.. And which Christians are going? The Jehova witness (which ruled out other christians making it to heaven), Redeem and SCOAN that scam people ? Catholic ? .. Please help me out

Heaven is a product of some people's imagination like every other myth.
why would i want to spend eternity singing? DAFT!!!
and what's the use of gold if not spent or used as adornment?
even the islamic concept of 36virgins is boring. imagine spending eternity
just effffffiiing?!

They do it for you to follow your line of conduct and morals. To become rich the pastor or priest, to have something to scare you (the antithesis of heaven, hell) and your scared do you dependent on religion.
But not all religions have heaven and hell ...
That is typical of sects who were born Jewish trunk.
These sects also say that they alone have the truth, and that all others are demonic ...
It's very simple, but gives very good results aimed at people of low intelligence.

Absolutely nothing.
Only a promise to failed, miserable Earthings. . . a last ditch-effort at finding the love, peace, prosperity and happiness that eluded them on Earth.
. . .and to cure their different diseases keeping them healthy, wealthy and wise like us. cool

Who wants to go to heaven? What a SPIRITUAL BORE-HOLE!

We are supposed to be doing wonderful stuffs like kissing daddy yahweh's butt for all eternity. And that of his "son", btw. If you ask me, that is something to really look forward to. Butt kissing, 24/7.

Lol.....
Many who wanna go to heaven barely knw why people are going there in d 1st place and how many will go .......
Is heaven just a place for every1? And what exactly will those inheriting heaven be doing for all eternity? And is heaven d only destination for those who served God....
@all....for those who will go to heaven,there wuldnt be any boredom there..why??because they got a huge assignment to carry out...so u guys shuldnt bother about that...
I wanna stay on earth too...:-)

Let's imagine how it will be if all americans lived in d white house to rule alongside obama...crazy!!! Right??
That's exactly what will happen if all these million/billions of people who are clamoring to go to heaven get there....
That's when it'll be boring and useless...
Becos in heaven there r no play times,no recreation,no eating ,no going to d toilet etc....its just work,work and work....
But there r those who"ll benefit from the works of those who"ll go to heaven.....
Those who will be on earth...
So @ poster dnt be bothered about heaven and how those who go will cope.....
Just keep ur head up and wait to be part of those who'll remain on earth forever...
Becos this earth will indeed be inhabited for all eternity...

The earth is full of diffrent people,diffrent behavious,diffrent opinions.Some are so funny some time. How can someone be decieving himself/herself? How can someone say he does not want to go heaven but to stay on earth, because they thought heaven will be boring.Imagin the earth that full with good things,a lot of activities, somany beautiful ladies, huge and handsome men, what a beautiful world.

Are there ever be someone who claimed he created you on earth except God almigity?You open your eyes and you found yourself on earth, with time you realised,you are male/female.You later discovered the impotant and useful of each part of your body, you look up you see cloud, and you are feeling the rotation of the earth, as morning wag into night. then,the baby born today, will gradually grow to an old man/woman and die.Even though,you did not believe in God, still you can not explain how all these work out the way they are.If someone come up tomorrow and said he creates you will you agree? Capital no.Since the beginnig only God knows as creator of everything that are in the world or universe.

It ridicle the name of the most high God to say heaven will be boring.Did you dictate to God when he was creating to create you male or female. I had heard someone says, the most sweetable thing on earth is sex. Did you tell him you need your private part and that he should put libido in you, before he gives you.Now, you think nothing can be more sweetable than what is on earth, you underate the power of God.God is not man, even you that is a man,if you bought a car last year and you want to buy another car this year, i am sure you will not buy the type you are using before or the grade that is below the one you are using before. This gave asurance that the heaven will be better than earth for God knows better than human being.
Before i rest my case i need these two things from anybody in the world.If they can do it i will believe that earth will be better than heaven.I too will say there is no God.
1 If they can stop death of working ,so that he would not kill againg through out the world.
2 If they can make all the men and women in the world not to be older than 40 years of age.Let satan do it if he can or scientist in the world.

I understand that the Europeans have made ​​every effort to convince us that we are uncivilized, backward, stupid, ignorant ...
They have become a kind of idols, which the ignorant have accepted.
The customs and traditions of Europeans have replaced ours because they made ​​us believe we are better.
Thus, many fools take all possible Western attitudes, lack only drink tea at 17 o'clock. Accept concepts as "a heaven with streets of gold" (which only a madman would accept) in the belief makes some "European".
But in this analysis to us we miss one small detail:
For Europeans and North Americans though we are Christians, we do not stop being African or South American (scum).
Wanting to be like them does not mean that we are.
In the eyes of Europeans and North Americans we continue to be lower.

@op since it is obvious you dont like heaven, why dont you make enquiry about where you are going, why are you making enquiry about a place you not interested in going. Your enquiry should be:

How long will i be in hell ?
Will i meet my fellow atheists there ?
what are we going to be going there?
Will our father (the devil) be there ?

Those should be your enquiries, not about another destinations. If i am travelling to new york, my visa enquiries should not be about paris, because that is a different destination.

It appears that you have assegurado place in heaven ... and that atheists, and those who do not believe the same thing you are friends of the devil!
You are very radical ... it's really a fanatic.
What does your god about fanaticism? of totalitarianism?
I guess if I go to heaven (according to your reasoning) I would meet you, right? (I doubt it)
Well you know something? Before having to share a place with fans like you'd rather be anywhere else, because the devil himself can be so stupid!
You will go to the same place that was Hitler.

from a (shia) muslim perspective,paradise is the manifestation of divine justice in rewarding those deserving of it eternal life.the good will be rewarded with paradise while the wicked and evil with jahannam (commonly referred to as hell fire).

what is even more important before going to paradise is not paradise itself as a reward of eternal life and many things valued by man.before paradise there is going to be resurrection and divine judgement.the oppressed in this world will be rewarded with divine justice for the suffering inflicted upon them by the wicked that no human court can actually judge according to bring justice to them.also,many truths about our existence would be revealed and all doubts about creation and the Almighty Creator would be cleared.

in paradise itself,man would gain security that we as weak creators with cognizance long for.eternal life,being in the company of our beloved,peace,purity of heart and environment,and being provided for sufficiently under the service of the Almighty Creator are things i can think of that man will be rewarded with in paradise.whatever good plan God have furthermore for man to rise higher and thrive without being "bored" as some misguided souls are insinuating,God is great in providing for us.

No, dear friend.

heaven is real. there are many heavens just as Jesus referred to when He said that in my fathers house there are many mansions and that he is going to prepare a place for his followers. each group gravitates to the level of heaven that is in harmony with their state of consciousness. heaven is not a boring place. just like on earth you have specialization in Heaven. people are able to do what they love but without the accompanying excessive resistance and negativity you find on earth.
and moreover you can visit heaven consciously while you are still alive physically and come back with the memories of what you experienced intact.
this is possible through the Spiritual Exercises of Eck. especially the Singing of the HU, a love song to God.
those who have tried it have their own experiences as their prove of the existence of heaven.
the choice is yours.

As long as heaven is concerned,there just one thing I'm sure about ; that religion that encourages terrorism towards infidels shall succesfully make it to Hell fire.Because Satan has given them a kingdom under the shadow of the sword and blood

U could google and watch the stories of those who died and came back to life,not those usual nairaland gists
