I don't want to be tortured enternity in hell, but I definatly don't want to live enternity in heaven either?
What's the point of life if all we have to do is live to worship God? And if we don't do something right, we have to burn non stop in hell forever? And if we're good we live enternity with God forever. The thought of living forever, non stop, with no end, scares the crap out of me.
What's heaven supposed to be like anyway? I wouldn't even want to live enterninty on earth. I don't see how living forever in heaven doing the same thing over and over again would be happiness. I'd think people would get bored after being around for millions and millions of years in heaven and meeting everyone there is to meet. Nothing would be new. And It deffinatly scares me if all heaven is just a bunch of people who turned into angels and are sitting on top of the clouds just playing the harp non stop.
Everything would get old and boring, and we would already see and do all there is to. I'd rather be dead. Why can't God just recarnate us in new bodies as babies so we can start all over again and forget about our old lives so we can start a brand new one? I wouldn't mind being recarnated I just don't want to live forever in pure 'happiness' because everything would be 'too' perfect. I actually wouldn't mind coming back in a second life as an animal, like a lion, or a cheetah or something. I'd like to know what it feels like to be another life other than human.
I don't even know if I believe God exists. I mean I want to, but I just don't have enough proof. There are thousands of other Gods that people worship all over the world. There's European, Asian, African, Native American (Spirits they believe in), and Middle eastern. Jesus is a middle eastern god right? Well how do we exactly KNOW that he's the true God out of thousands of other gods that are worshipped and have their own beliefs about the after life?
I'm not saying I don't believe in him, but I'm just not sure what to belive anymore. It's almost 50/50 for me. And all the gods have their things saying ''If you don't do this or that like I said, you'll end up here or there when you die" I remeber learing about a Greek god in school, and it was something like if you did do what he said to do, you would end up in a river for eternity being thirsty but everytime you try to dring from the river it would vanish and come back, but disapeared anytime you would try to take a drink. But then again I don't want to not believe in god because what if I end up not believing in him and then I go to hell. I don't want to either! I sometimes wonder what it would be like, if we could start the world all over again, and I could come back and live in the cave man times, or maybe like in the 1600's.
I'm just sayin. Why do we HAVE to end up in heaven or hell? Why Jesus out of other thousands and thousands of gods and religions that exist out there all around the world? How do we know for sure we're not worshipping the wrong? What if the real god of the world could be one of the greek gods? How do we know that bible is for sure, when there are tons of bibles out there for different religions?
I'm not saying I'm an atheist or anything. I do belive there is a god, but I sometimes think twice on who could be the real one. And why heaven and hell? I think heaven would be just as much of a torture as hell would. Maybe not just as bad, but I'm afraid to get up there and go insane of the boredom, doing the same things for billions of years. I'd rather have my soul be realeased into another galaxy instead.
Why can't when we die, why can't god just let US make a choice on where we want to go and what we want to do in our after life and he just grant us our wishes? And he could let the people who want to stay dead stay dead, and the people who want to explore a new life can go on. What's the point of even living now when we're struggling to do good things, (even though tempted at times to do bad things), that way we can go to this 'heaven'? If God is a loving god why is he wanting everyone to be afraid of hell and worship him in heaven for eterninty? Wouldn't that be kind of stingy?
I'm not hating on him or anything. I've just always thought about this and wondered.

I understand you questions. I am a huge believer in God. I love God with all that I can. And i question sometimes what its going to be like in heaven, but you know because I trust in the lord i would rather be there than any where else. And just because you worship God on earth doesn't mean you can have fun, and it doesn't mean you can't make mistakes. I have made so many mistakes in my life but that's why God/Jesus asks for forgiveness. No one is doomed for hell if you ask for forgiveness,
And as for heaven, well the bible explains some of what it will be like. Heaven is going to be a great place where you can live in a mansion, there will be food but you don't have to eat, and everyone is going to get along. It seems so far fethced i know but that's why you have to trust in Him. I promise you, you WILL NOT be bored in heaven. And you asked when we die why can't God let us make a choice on where we want to go, well hun you choose that while your here. If you want to go to hell, don't trust in God, if you want to go to heaven, trust in him, if you want to stay dead, well you can't do that but if you go to hell you are basically dead! The point of living now, well besides serving the lord, i have no idea. Serving the lord could be as simple as doing what i'm doing now. You don't HAVE to go across the seas to serve him. And it can be Fun! You can meet new people, gain new experiences.
There is plenty of proof that God exists, look how we live, look at the world around you how we are created, how people die and get brought back to life, how mircles happen, read the BIBLE!!! There is soo much proof in there its crazy. The places in the bible are real. And in revelations it talks about things that are going to happen before the world ends and hun they are happening, and its not a coincidence. What i am gong to ask you to try and do is read the bible, get a teen bible they are easier to understand, and read it! That's the only way you can answer questions, is to read it. But God's not all about proof, its about faith, and once you have the faith then you will see the proof.....

Heaven is awesome and there is proof for God. If there were a time when nothing had existed, nothing would exist now or in the future. You can't make nothing out of nothing. A lot of science proves God exists and its possible for everything to have evolved. The books of the Bible are not always literal. (like Genesis) Some are very black and white on subjects though. God exists and Heaven won't be boring there's stuff to do and it's happiness meaning you'd just be happy no matter what. You got to learn to think a little bit deeper on things.

Wouldn't you like to live on earth in perfect health? Being there when the resurrection takes place of the righteous and unrighteous? I hope to make it. Psalms 37:29 Matthew 5:5.
God is not going to waste his time or energy torturing mankind after death, Romans 6:7 should clear that up also Jeremiah 7:31, so don't let man scare you with hell fire. 1 John 4:8
Have faith Hebrews 11:1

You have so many preconceived ideas about heaven. Heaven is simply everything you ever desired or could want. It is the answer to all your deepest desires. Pursuing infinite goodness and love will always be new and never boring. In fact, the very definition of heaven includes a lack of boredom. In other words, your description of heaven is really hell. Worship is the equivalent of breathing oxygen and consuming water/food. So your whole idea of heaven is completely just the opposite. "Eye has not seen nor has ear heard all that God has prepared for those who love Him".

just because you do something wrong doesnt mean you are going to hell. Jesus died to save us and forgive us. Your imagination of heaven is distorted. It says in the bible that heaven is all things new. You cannot get bored lol. The threat of hell was designed as a tool of instruction just like when a parent threatens timeout. It is sooooo easy to avoid hell. Stop focusing on the negatives and start focusing on the positives. Is there a hell? YES. can it be avoided? absolutely. Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected and in doing so conquered death hell and the grave. They have no hold on believers. They are shadows. The shadow of a lion is real but will not hurt you. There is also nothing wrong with having questions. My advice would be to ask God and Jesus. They WILL help.

Maybe we are released into another galaxy, we don't know exactly what it is. You need to have faith in Jesus that it will be good. Are you saying you had rather just die and be plant food, you just might. He may grant us our wishes, the point is no one knows for sure. Some people think Heaven is something beyond our wildest imaginations.

God wants the companionship of human beings, a combination of the material and spiritual. He knows that many will deny Him and die in sin. But that is their choice: a lifetime of sinful pleasures or an eternity of righteous pleasure. The glories of eternity are worth the inevitability of seeing many chosing not to follow Him - and reaping the reward. And there will be nobody in Hell that will deny that they were given a chance, and none will say that they don't deserve it. If you want to spend eternity apart from God, God grants you your choice - the problem is that since God is the source of goodness, the nature of being apart from Him is by nature unpleasant.

Sorry, didn't read the whole thing. But if you want to learn more about what heaven could possibly be like based on the verses in the Bible, read "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn. It will open your eyes to the amazing possibilities of what awaits us in heaven.

well for one, if you truly loved God, worshiping Him wouldn't be a chore like you are making it sound. and in heaven i doubt we will sit around playing harps. i can't tell you that i know exactly what's gonna happen, but according to God in the Bible, it's gonna be awesome :) and i most definitely don't think we will be bored! as for other gods, my honest opinion is that Jesus is God, our liberating king. you have to find out what you believe for yourself. i hope that God grants you peace and blessings :)

You have typed a lot of stuff. It is not true. God offers eternal life as a free gift. Hell is where we are headed all by ourselves.
When you know God, He is someone you want to spend time with.
Try to read slower.
