What's heaven like?

[Sandman]

Is there beer in heaven?

[Winston]

I heard there are spirits, so I don't see why beer would be a problem.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

you can be in heaven on this earth already, so try to find it and once you do, you will know what heaven is like

Time has no meaning there. Each day is just like each other one. We will see our old family again, and our friends of days gone past.

Seems a bit too static for my tastes.

You won't be married because there will be no marriages in heaven, even those who are married, will no longer be so.

This makes me wonder why one opposes gay marriage so, then?

All the physical ills and infirmities will pass, I presume we will see ourselves as we would want to be.

Well, except as gods ourselves, I suppose.

That's because you're a dumbass. Have you not heard then of the lion lying down next to the lamb? You're telling me that God is a micro manager? Look around you. Are you clocking in to any hints? You're supposed to be happy. Winston doesn't like animals. So, ok. His heaven, no animals. I get all I want. It's my damn heaven.

Who's a dumbass here? Go check your bible, it doesn't say exactly that. Also, God could well be a micromanager and not even notice that. He's omnipotent by definition.
Also, it's not your heaven. It's God's heaven. Do you think heaven is a place made of clouds where you fly around and play harps? Or a place made of gently rolling hills where it's warm year round with fruits and stuff?
No, heaven is not a place, it is a state. A state of ecstasy caused by close proximity to God. Do you really think your relatives and your pets will make you more happy than the Lord himself?
And hell is not, of course, full of fire, molten sulphur and imps with pitchforks. It is simply a state of your despair caused by your rejection of God, or more exactly, by your understanding of that fact. You could be in heaven, but chose not to.

My understanding of heaven is a little different. It's not about hedonistic pleasure, or even necessarily happiness as we understand it. We are there because a)we accepted Jesus Christ, and b)want to serve/glorify him. For example, people will have jobs in heaven - that's somewhat implied in the Bible, IIRC. There will of course be rewards, but not, I think, as we could understand them.

What happens when there's a downsizing or a disagreement with management? Can you goof off at work, or is that frowned upon?

Ben Kenobi: you seem to have had a near death experience so you can answer this better than anyone. Can we watch TV shows in heaven, such as Lost? Will we be able to cheat and watch the end ahead of time? Thanks in advance. I'm going to go start a dot com and make several million dollars with an IPO in ten years.

This is the first time I've been behind Wiglaf 100%.

Let me know when someone comes back with some real experience in this area. If not, pretending to have specific knowledge is just plain silly.

Now if someone says, I believe, then I'm ok with that. They're entitled to their believe/faith. But those that claim they know.................liars or simply dilusional.

Just my thoughts.

The other thing is apparently we can watch whatever is happening on Earth, which would be way better then tv.
