When you go to heaven, you are not the same "you". Your relationships with other people aren't the same.   [u][b]That's what I was told[/b][/u].[/quote]

Think about that... seriously.[/quote]
Yes, I have thought about that.  But what does it say in the Bible about it?

It says that when you go to Heaven your relationship with God will be restored and will spend eternity in praise to Him.  If your relationship with your spouse and children remain the same in Heaven, then your heart would be split.   There will be no Eros love, only Agape love.

You can research it on the internet.  There are lots of essays about.

Spending eternity praising the guy who threatened to send me to hell if I didn't praise him enough on Earth doesn't sound much like heaven[/quote]
That's fine. You don't have to believe in heaven or God.  Not sure why you're on this thread then.[/quote]

Does it sound like heaven to you?  Are you saying, unequivocally, that this is what heaven is like?  It certainly is not the heaven that a lot of people hear about in church, and no one has ever come back from heaven to describe it.  It's something else to be taken on faith.[/quote]
There are descriptions in the Bible about what it would be like to be in heaven, and yes, that's what the Bible says, we will be like Angels, and that's what Angels do in Heaven.. praising God.

You are looking at this through your mortal lenses.  It's not a place where you get to eat all kinds of junk foods and not get fat.   It's not a place where you get fed grapes by 70 virgins.

If the Biblical description doesn't sound great to you, no worries.[b] You don't have to go.[/b]  But to those who have a personal relationship with God, yes, this is pleasing.[/quote]

Well, if the choice is between eternal praising in heaven or eternal burning in hell, most would choose praising, [b]but it certainly doesn't sound like the eternal reward that people expect.[/b] [/quote]
Indeed.   If people think it's living like you're rich and thin, then no, that's not heaven.[/quote]

Heaven is the zillions of righteous people who have ever lived continuously praising God.

He can't get enough of it and besides, he deserves it for sending his only son to be crucified for our sins[/quote]

Doesn't the idea of eternity scare the daylight out of you? When does it ever end??  Never. That really freaks me out.[/quote]

It is a strange concept to grasp. When I was a kid I thought that heaven is like one long everlasting church service.[/quote]
