Why do Christians what to live forever and if they get to heaven how old will they be, & what will they do?

Heaven is all around you right now.  It is a state of being and not a place.  You will not have a body once you leave this one and so age is irrelevant.

Christians never take the time to explain such a basic question.  When written, the writers were talking about the people living at that time, of course.  If Rangedog is right,  there will never come a time when even the people who cannot read get the message, so it will never happen.  That is convenient for the believers. They can claim forever that the end is coming.

A, of course, most christians do not realize that they already are in heaven on earth.  When we die it will be all over, the end. We don't even know that once we were part of human race.\n\nSo, don't look forward to be with God in Heaven, this is the only life we have, enjoy it while you can.

like when u asking people. Choose happy or desperate. Off course they will choose happy, meaningly heaven\n\nwhy people don't want to die today?\n1. They afraid of the painful of death\n2. They don't believe life after death\n3. They have someone or something that their love to and don't want to release it\n4. They believe about heaven and hell. and thing what they doing on this world is not strong enough to make them entering to heaven. So they want to life longer to make any wisdom, so they able to become heaven-man

I am guess your asking about what people believe will happen at the end of the age.  There are 3 schools of thought PreTribulationist, Post-Tribulationist, and then Pan Tribulationist. This is just a brief overview of what they each believe. PreTribers- Believe that the church(Believers in Jesus Christ) will be raptured out based on 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then all hell will break loose on earth.  There will be millions upon millions killed because of their instant faith in Jesus(Those who were left behind) The anti-christ will take control of the world for 7 years be murdered and then raise from the dead and be bodily possessed by Satan himself, bring war upon the Jews who he made a 7 year peace treaty and ultimatly be destroyed by the 2nd Return of Jesus Christ. This is what the Left Behind book series teachs as well as most pastors and teachers.  Post Trib- Believe all of the above except that the church will be Raptured out after going through the7 years of Tribulation.  Pan Tribulationist believe its all going to pan out in the end anyways so why worry about.  I hope this helps.

For those that have trusted in His gift of eternal life, they are only stepping into eternity to live forever.  What's wrong with that?

To develop our souls for eternity. To be more holy like God. We come back to Earth born over and over until we learn this. Look at this world it is full of hatred, lack of forgiveness, greed, no compassion, self centered fools, lack of sharing, no patience, no hope, no tollerance, no wisdom. We serve our selves not God. We need to realize our souls will live on. We will go to heaven and see the lives we have led in detail. What did we learn in this life, how did we see our fellow man, what did we do to help others, how did we take care of mother earth?\n\nOur purpose is to love God, become more holy, take care of others, and learn and grown so that our souls can become more. Who will populate other worlds, who will be the next explorers? Those that God chooses, the ones that represent him.

If you are saved by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart. You will go to Heaven but only when Jesus returns to earth to claim his thrown. I am not sure of where it is but it says when Jesus returns the dead in Christ will rise. So when you die, time will cease so I it will seem like only an instance

Why Must Even Youths Die?\n\n“WHY did my baby die?” the young mother sobbed, grief-stricken at the death of her only child. “He had so many years ahead—so much to live for.”Such parents are not alone in their sorrow. Their pain has been felt by many others. Usually it is a grief known only to a few close friends. At other times the world becomes aware of the loss.\n\nThe only book that truly explains this situation is the oldest book in existence, the Holy Bible. Its writers were inspired by God, and so what they wrote merits our interest. One of those inspired penmen wrote almost three thousand years ago: “The living are conscious that they will die.”—Eccl. 9:5.This same Bible writer who wrote, “For the living are conscious that they will die,” continued that very sentence with a statement that surprises many persons. He said: “But as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”—Eccl. 9:5, 10.\n\nThis idea surprises persons who have been taught in their churches that the dead not only are conscious, but are consciously suffering punishments or enjoying rewards. Who has not heard the idea that the dead are suffering in a hellfire or purgatory or are enjoying the blessings of heaven? Yet God’s Word, the Bible, says the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.”\nVerify this for yourself. Get your own copy of the Bible, and read these words in the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter nine, verses five and ten.\nThe Bible teaches that Jesus’ ransom sacrifice opened the way for a magnificent hope for mankind. By laying down his human life, Jesus was offering as a sacrifice the exact equivalent of what Adam had lost—perfect human life on earth. He paid a “ransom” for dying mankind. Now the prospect of eternal life was again open. Thus it was proper for the apostle Peter to call Jesus God’s “Chief Agent of life.” (Acts 3:15) It is by means of this One that God will raise the dead to life in a thrilling resurrection. Concerning this, the Christian apostle Paul said: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15.\nEven now there are persons who are exercising faith in God’s Son, and they have a wonderful hope ahead of them, even as Jesus said: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.\n\nMany persons can quote that Bible passage, but few have thought about what it actually says. It does not say that Jesus gave his life that people might “become angels” or so that “all good people might go to heaven.” It says he did so that they might have “everlasting life.”\n\nYou may have prayed: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”—Matt. 6:10, Douay translation.Few persons have realized what a change it will make for that prayer to be answered—for God’s will to be done throughout the earth the way it is done in heaven. In fact, it will require that God replace this present system of things, with its wars, corruption and greed. In its place will be a new system that will assure the conditions of peace and life that God originally created in Eden.\n\nPsalms 37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. It is possible to benefit from Christ’s ransom, and to conform to God’s instructions. We can take a course of obedience that will permit us either to survive through the coming “great tribulation” or to be resurrected afterward, into a righteous and cleansed earth, now near at hand. What a blessing to be on hand when dead loved ones, perhaps your children, return from the dead!  NO BABIES DO NOT GO TO "hell, or purgatory" THEY ARE ASLEEP WAITING FOR THE RESURRECTION .

It is really funny how people have different ideas about what happens when we die. The Christendom, spiritualist, atheist and scientist all have their own idea or theory about what happens after we die.\n\nIt is hilarious because i believe in nothing more than us die, decaying, turning into dust and that's it.\n\n\nChristendom believe that, nobody will live forever and that's true. The body of the dead on goes into the grave. It decays. Their spirit immediately goes either in the presence of God or out, waiting the final resurrection. There will be a resurrection of all bodies in the end, a resurrection unto life or a resurrection unto damnation. And you are entitled to the the former if you have faith through Christ. This is funny cos i don't believe in DAMNATION.\n\nSpiritualist also think that, this earth is like a veil of illusion. The mortal mind obfuscates the spiritual truth, which is the love of God. And they think that when we die, the veil falls down, the filter is gone, and we're in that state of pure love which is God.\n\nThe atheist accepts the reality that when you die, that is the end. That is it. Therefore when they are living, life is all they can ever know. They can't know death. So we have to do our part now to make this a better life for ourselves and for the rest of humanity and all of the life on this planet.\n\nScientifically or what scientist say is that, when we die we decay and rot. NOthing more nothing less. And that is the simple part of it i believe and understand. \n\nOn the other hand, if you don't want to get decayed by fungus and bacteria, you could get mummified.

you do exist forever. your body is only a house for your soul. when you die, the soul/ you, lives on. If you have not accepted christ as your savior, you will go to hell. if you are his child and have accepted him you will go to heaven. it's that simple. question is, where do you want to exist forever?

I think you would really rather be going up to heaven at that time. The earth won't be worth living on for the at least next 7 years after the Rapture takes place.  There will be diseases and death and massive destruction and earthquakes and darkness and not much food to eat. Please reconsider John 3:16

I will live as long as the Good Lord wants me here.\n\nI hope to die fast and not slow.  I do not care if I grow old and feeble, as long as I still have my right mind.. after that, I just prefer to go see God.

Well maybe you are worrying because you are wrong about your beliefs. Heaven is real, so is hell. When you accept Jesus, he takes all our worries, and fear.\n\nYour body will last as long as how you care for it. Eat right, exercise. They say that people born after 1979 will likely live to 100yrs old. Thats if you don't get cancer, or get hit by a bus.\n\nBut I would worry about what happens after you die. So many people testify that they've been shown hell. Their accounts are very similar.

The bible doesn't answer this one.  I personally don't think they will stay as babies in heaven just as people who die old will not be old.  the bible says we will be given a new body and I would imagine it will be a body that can voluntarily be able to worship God etc.\n\nMy daughter died at a few weeks old and I always imagine her as a beautiful young woman in heaven.  \n\nThis is one of those questions that will be answered when we get there!

I believe that you can ask for forgiveness when you see god, because the bible promises everlasting life.  Even in hell you live forever so technically you do not die.

Who Will Be Resurrected? Where Will They Live? \n\nHow many will live in Paradise on earth?— The Bible does not say. But God had told Adam and Eve while they were in the garden of Eden to have children and fill the earth. True, they failed to do that. But God will see to it that his purpose to have the earth filled with good people is carried out.—Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 45:18; 55:11.\n\nJust think how wonderful it will be to live in Paradise! The whole earth will become like a park. It will be alive with birds and animals and beautiful with trees and flowers of every kind. No one will have pain because he is sick, nor will anyone have to die. Everyone will be a friend of everyone else. If we want to live forever in Paradise, now is the time to prepare for it.\n\nIn the new world, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) At that time Jesus will use his God-given power to raise the dead because, as he said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” (John 11:25) He also said: “All those in the memorial tombs [in God’s memory] will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29.\n\n Great will be the joy earth wide when group after group of dead persons come back to life to join their loved ones! No longer will there be obituary columns to bring sadness to the survivors. Instead, there may well be just the opposite: announcements of newly resurrected ones to bring joy to those who loved them. So no more funerals, funeral pyres, crematoriums, or cemeteries!\n\nTrue peace in all areas of life will be realized. Wars, promoters of wars, and the manufacturing of weapons will be things of the past. \n“they will not lift up sword, nation against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.”—Micah 4:3.\n\nMan and beast will also be at peace, as they were in Eden. (Genesis 1:28; 2:19) God says: “For them I shall certainly conclude a covenant in that day in connection with the wild beast of the field and with the flying creature of the heavens and the creeping thing of the ground, and . . . I will make them lie down in security.”—Hosea 2:18.\nNever again will the animals be a threat to man or to themselves. Even “the lion will eat straw just like the bull”!—Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25.\n\nThe entire earth will be transformed into a paradise home for mankind. That is why Jesus could promise a man who believed in him: “You will be with me in Paradise.” The Bible says: “The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron. . . . For in the wilderness waters will have burst out, and torrents in the desert plain.”—Luke 23:43; Isaiah 35:1, 6.\n\nUnder God’s Kingdom, hunger will never again afflict millions. “There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth.\n\nNo more will there be poverty, homeless people, slums, or neighborhoods overrun with crime. “They will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. Isaiah 65:21, 22\n\n“The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. . . . The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”—Psalm 37:11, 29\n\nGod’s Kingdom rule will undo all the damage done to the human family for the past six thousand years. The joys at that time will far outweigh any suffering that people have experienced. Life will not be disturbed by any bad memories of previous suffering. The upbuilding thoughts and activities that will be the everyday life of people will gradually erase the painful memories.
