Think about that... seriously.

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

That's fine. You don't have to believe in heaven or God. Not sure why you're on this thread then.

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.

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. You don't have to go. But to those who have a personal relationship with God, yes, this is pleasing.

It's biblically based.

Mark 12:24-25

24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

In religion, believers base critical issues on faith, not evidence. When evidence is lacking, there is always faith to fall back on.

Whenever I hear about someone being killed my first thought is I hope they didn’t suffer. But if hell is real then it’s designed for us to suffer in the worst possible way forever.

Also there's the question of why you would want to be in heaven forever if someone you loved dearly did not make it with you but was sent to hell or limbo.

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

I have also recently learned that "hell" is not some burning firey pit, but a place that has the absence of the presence of God, like Limbo in Dante's Inferno.

I thought one of the attractions of heaven is that you get to see your loved ones again. You’re saying in essence we forget those loved ones, it’s all about God.

Because seriously would you want to be in eternity without your child if he didn’t get to be there? That sounds like hell.

At that point, you are happy to see everyone and anyone in heaven, but the relationship is not the same. Since we have can't fathom how this might feel in heaven, of course you'd want your loved ones to go to heaven with you.

How do you know so much about heaven -- what in the Bible says that?

Mark 12:24-25

24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

This is when the dead rise, after the second coming. There's no rising from the dead associated with heaven.

Kids suffering and dying of cancer

The tsunami that killed 200k people in Thailand and Indonesia

Oy. This question has been answered many times by theologians. Do your fvcking homework...

No it hasn’t.

No one can provide a satisfactory answer to this. This is why so many Jews left religion after surviving the Holocaust death camps.

Do your f*cking homework.

There is no definitive answer as to why some people suffer and others do not. That’s why it’s called faith.

I am a Christian and I agree with this. It's the honest thing sometimes to say we don't know.

Perhaps the honest thing to say is that suffering is random and has nothing to do with faith. People suffer with and without faith

Yeah but the thing people wonder is, if God is all knowing and all powerful, why did he let the Holocaust happen?

DP.. I asked a similar question -- if God is omniscience, why did he create Satan knowing he would fall and wreak havoc on God's children? That's the mother of questions IMO.

They do? Do tell. Also, the mind doesn't really exist in a materialist worldview, only biochemical reactions and neuron firings.
