Assuming we get there.\nIf idolness and indolence are Satan's tools, then there must be work in Heaven, right?  Or will we become completely unproductive once we die.  If people say there is a meaning to this life, does the next life have meaning as well?

The work we do in heaven, I believe, will be work we enjoy, and not work we find tedious, backbreaking, or humiliating.  For example, I hope there is theater in heaven, and that I can be an actress and singer.  I wouldn't mind also trying my hand at gardening or farming, and doing some baking once in a while.  And of course, we'll all have the work of worshipping God!

Yeh its true there will be life after death and that life will be depending on our performance in this life..and also depends upon what our thought during the time of death...So its advisable to think and act only good sothat we can get an excellent life next time..

I would still try to do good.  It is not really about heaven or hell.  It is about loving God and people.  If that sends me to hell, then I am there!!!!

Something is really wrong with the heaven and hell teaching.\nAccording to Psalm 115:16, has God provided earth, or heaven for mankind?\nAccording to Psalm 37:29, where are we suppose to spend our eternity?\nReasoning:\nGod said Adam would lose the gift of life if he ate of the forbidden fruit.\nHe ate, he died.\nIF he never ate of it, if he never touched it ....where would he be today?\nOur future is on a cleansed earth.\nThat is what God's original purpose is .....and nothing will change his mind.

You will find out one day, and there is nothing you can do to change it.  I figure that since I'm a good person, then if there is an afterlife I'll be ok.  And if there isn't then it'll just be like being asleep without dreaming.  Either way it's not something that will really be "bad".  It will either be good, or I won't be aware of it.  But if this is the only life you get, then you don't want to spend it worrying about what may or may not happen.

Who's to say there is a meaning\n\nMaybe we don't have a plan - we're just creatures who sprouted from organisms.  \n\nPersonally I like to believe in a more spiratual meaning - God is testing us to see if we are worthy to enter heaven, but then again we might just be the play toys of a giant alien race.

WoW! Interesting and deep questions...\nI would get on my knees and pray, but not just on my last day; praying everyday is a good thing.\nI would accept it being my last day, because what ever is God's will is fine...and I do believe there is a better life after this earthly, physical life. As for fearing death, I'm pretty sure I would, but again, there is something greater to look forward to, and God says that this life is nothing compared to the afterlife. So...I do believe in Heaven, but not the "mythical" sitting around on a cloud thing that some of us learned in some churches. I believe Heaven to be as you said, "to see the face of God" and Jesus Christ"...and much more than that. Those chosen to be in God's government, ( as opposed to these corrupt, worldly governments that exist now, will be wiped away, along with all the misery and suffering!) will help set up a fair and right government, which keeps God's laws, ( not all these man made B.S. laws!) This new system of living will allow people to learn to live God's way, with peace and happiness. (I'm sure there will be opposition on this!) Many more wrongs of this messed up world, will be corrected...Lots of work to do! No time to just sit on a cloud!\nAs for HELL!!! I believe that, as the Bible says, it is a consuming fire, and that it serves the purpose of burning up those who will not accept God's law, after they have been taught in the future. It will be as if they never existed; so basically, we are all given the chance to learn God's ways, either in this lifetime, or in the next...amd hopefully, we'll accept it, and not be destroyed in hell! There is also the mythical "Dantes Inferno" which influences us to think of hell as an ever burning punishment...I don't believe this is true at all...God is loving and merciful, and will give us another chance to learn how to live, how to love, how to obey, how to be happy, how to live harmoniously with one another, no wars, how to worship etc.....and IF we continue to want to live, as we do now, with Satan's influence dominating this messed up world, that's it! Stick us with a fork! We're done!!!

Yes, but it doesn't mean that the rest will go to hell. Majority of mankind who finds favor with God will inherit the earth.\n\nConsider these verses:\nMatthew 5:5. Jesus said that the meek shall inherit the earth, not heaven.\nJohn 3:13. No one--including Moses, and Abraham--at the time of Jesus went to heaven. So, where are they? They are naturally waiting for the resurrectionn on earth--just like when Lazarus, and many others were resurrected on earth, not in heaven.\n\nRevelations 5:10 says that certain ones were bought from every tribe and country, and they shall rule with Christ on EARTH. Naturally, if there are rulers, then there are subjects. These "royal class" who will be in heaven with Christ will rule with him and restore paradise earth.\n\nRevelations 14:1-4 says that those who were bought from the earth numbers 144K.\nRomans 11:11,12 confirms that there is a limited number of Jews (spiritual that is, and not literal).\n\nTry reading carefully Revelations 5:9-10; and 14:1-4 and you will get the connection between the 144K and those who will rule with Christ.\n\nThe above verses further ties in nicely with Matt 6:10 (thy kingdom come, not thy kingdom go up), and Rev 21:2-4 which mentions New Jerusalem, which represents God's kingdom, coming down on earth to restore Paradise on earth.\n\nSadly, many do not know this. They have been blinded by  false teaching w/c claims that the good ones will go to heaven.

Definately that what we are doing these days. And thats what all are doing. See a filmstar, he works, gets fame, becomes happy and make people happy, and dies. what a labour man do? works hard for us. get money and fulfills his family and dies. so when we get to see that every one here is for some kind od work. they complete their responsibility and wait for heaven. Heaven only if good work is done. This is another topic as all this comes under superstitions. But ultimately Life is just to live for you, live form someone. complete your goals and die.\n\nDont wait for heaven. Just complete ur goals and then enjoy the time left with you. else enjoy first and then complete goals. either way u have do keep some goals else no use falling on this earth.

Yes, I do because the Bible says there is and I believe the Bible.  Our life down here determines what crowns we will receive up there.  Everything you do down here in this life  reflects what you will earn up there.  That is why good works or things you do for others matter.  They are not the basis for getting TO heaven but they will determine what crowns you will get once you are IN heaven...Most people don't realize that this life is a dress rehearsal for heaven.  They are really going to be disappointed that they did not tell their friends about Jesus when they knew him as their personal Saviour and did not let anyone else know. The reason that you do "good" things is out of love for Jesus, not because you are expected to.  We are all sinners, Christians have just asked for forgiveness.  They will continue to make mistakes but the key is to ask for forgiveness whenever you realize you have done something wrong so you do not break that relationship you have with the Lord.

we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.\nHence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation\n\nThanks

I think that this will be a reality...but not now. There's too much sin and hate in the world. But in heaven...it will be a reality. When there is a new heaven and a new earth...it will be a reality...because there will not be any more sin.\n\nPraise God for His Promise.

Ps. 37:29: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Why People wants to go to Heaven?)\n\nEccl. 9:5, 10: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all . . . All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol,* the place to which you are going.” (If they are conscious of nothing, they obviously feel no pain.)(A bucket of water has turn off the firing hell.)\n\nEzek. 18:4: “The soul* that is sinning—it itself will die.” (*“Soul,” KJ, Dy, RS, NE, Kx; “the man,” JB; “the person,” TEV.)(No immortality here)\n\nJob 14:13, Dy: “[Job prayed:] Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell,* and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me?” (Why did Job wanted to be protected in hell? (Is not that place a horrendous, tormenting, despicable, give me pain for I deserve it?)\n\nJesus Christ said: “You should pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven . . . ’” He also said: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me. . . . If you ask for anything in my name, I will do it.”—Matt. 6:9; John 14:6, 14, JB; (Many Christians are praying to saints, icons, and objects, thus completely nullifying  these Scriptures.)\n\nA note to Softfuzzy.. For what I Know JW are the only one that are not ignoring the Scripture like 2 Tim. 3:16 states. You are!\n(Ex. 6:3; Rev. 19:6) Neither expression is ever applied to either the Son or the holy spirit. (Almighty)

Hmm...interesting. If you believe in It, the work of God is absolutely everywhere. Certainly makes sense, if "He" is hungry to show us what He's done. Guess we just have to look with the right focus.\nCommiserations on the funeral. Never good.

Satan, the "Boss Fallen Angel",  is the prince of this world.  "This world" being the one in which we now live and breathe.  Therefore, to divide and conquer in this realm is irrelevant.  Satan's won.  This realm, however is but a fleeting moment.  The body that we now all exist in is also a fleeting effigy, a quite temporary outward housing for our eternal TRUE being.  Our soul goes on forever; that's who we truly are, not the physical mass that is our body.  That's why cancer, AIDS, murder, etc. can't destroy us.  Our bodies, our physical presences, are of clay.  Our spirits, our true beings, are of timeless substance.  I got precious little space, so her it is:  Accept the forgiveness won for us ALL by Christ on Calvary.  Acknowledge God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as your only hope from damnation.  Go out and live it, tell the story.  It didn't come cheap, but it's free.

That's a very good observation!  I guess we'll never know until we get to Heaven (if we believe in Jesus)...and then it won't matter cause all we'll be doing is praising God!

My friend, I agree with you, yet I also see a more pressing matter at hand. What about those persecutors and all the non-believers? If they die, they will not rejoice with all of us in heaven with the Lord God. I will pray for both the believers and the non-believers. There isn't much I can do from my present state but pray and preach the Word, since i'm not in a position to do anything but that. Email me if you have questions or are a fellow believer in Christ at questinchrist@yahoo.com. God bless
