Will There Be Effort And Failure In Heaven?

[Lombax]

Do you think that in heaven, we will still be able to fail at something? Or that we will put some effort into something? I have actually seen christians who are saying that those things will be present in heaven.

[goodlife]

People think that it is impossible to know about heaven because no one has ever come down from there to tell us about it. Perhaps they have forgotten that Jesus said: “I have come down from heaven.” (John 6:38)
To some religious leaders, he also said: “You are from the realms below; I am from the realms above.” (John 8:23) What did Jesus say about heaven, well If you read your Bible you know.

goodlife, I always thought you must spend a massive amount of time reading the bible, and being able to recall appropriate passges which you endlessly regurgitate on here.

Then this evgening, at my mother-in-laws, I saw a copy of The Watch Tower which had been pushed through her door and hey presto! There are quotes from here to wazoo, all over it! All you need to do is copy one out, no knowledge or memory if investigastion needed.

Youo have correspondingly dropped in my estimation.

J.W.s read Wachtower,
Free thinkers read everything ;-)

[nailit]

Its my experience, that JWs read ONLY what their cult tells them to read.
Thouroughly incapable of thinking for themselves....really sad!

I don't think it is impossible to know about heaven...what I would like to know is who invented the idea of heaven to reward those who had hard lives working for the monied classes.... the idea that no matter what dreadful treatment you get when alive it won't matter because your reward will be in heaven. How does that work for those with money who never had a hard life ordering others around and often keeping them in poverty etc?

[goodlife]

Is'nt it funny it shows that you never read your Bible. If you did you would know that all of you, even me, if we die we all go to Hell.

[pixie374]

Mally, how would it be possible to know, though? Nobody has ever been and returned.

[agchristie]

Yep Pix,one can only imagine wot a heaven mite be like.

Goodlife. 17:42.
You just said that all of us, including you, will go to hell if we die.
Question 1: Are you suggesting that some of us will not die?
Question 2: From where comes your authority to tell me that I will go to hell?
Question 3: What or who turned you into such a sanctimonious prig? (look it up!)

[goodlife]

Atheist@ well as atheist is be wasted time, you would believe me anyway and that the same with everything else. (Prov. 4:18, 19)

[Atheist]

Goodlife, if you won't write coherent things, then you are really wasting your time here. We don't have to agree with each other, but we should try to communicate properly.

[goodlife]

No may that never be said, because the Bible said at Mat 24 :14 say so, weather you listen or not because he always warns people before he does anything, so no one can say I didn't know.

Dunno.
