Does heaven allow spiritual growth? Does heaven allow compassion when everything is so perfect?

Will there be no challenges to keep us interested? What exactly is there to do in heaven besides play a harp and worship god?

    Compassion could easily exist regardless.

    Heaven probably does allow spiritual growth, maybe to move higher up on the god chain or whatever.

    There are different levels of angels, sooo. IDK.

    We would easily remain interested in never ending bliss.

    It wouldn't get old, like an orgasm multiplied by a million...

    But other wise I suppose we could help people to pass the time of infinity.

    But, heaven is silly...

    There is no reason whatsoever that we should believe anything from any religion.

    To bad you don't read the Bible before asking questions.

    Everything you mention is of a sinful earthly method to remedy a situation as a result of being a sinful human being.

    Spiritual growth to whom or what, in heaven, there is no longer a need for growth in anything spiritual or of the flesh (body) in any manner whatsoever.

    Compassion? To whom, or what. The sinful humans, when on earth, because they are now in hell, by choice?

    By choice?

    Yes, they are in hell by choice if they had prior knowledge of the ability to be saved, but refused it.

    Do not compare heavenly existence with what we know today. No one has ever lived among us to tell about existing in Heaven.

    The very word you use 'perfect' needs no human traits to be 'better', if it did, it wouldn't be 'perfect'.

    'Playing a harp' and worshipping God may very well be something other than what you think of it with a sinful mind.

    If you get to heaven, you will not 'complain' to God that you want a bigger harp. Complaining is another sinful trait of mankind on earth.

    (Think out of the box).

    solid question. i will purely say what the scriptures let us know. Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there will be not greater dying, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any greater discomfort: for the former issues are handed directly to the excellent beyond. not greater sorrow or crying via fact the former issues have handed directly to the excellent beyond, seems to scream a loss of venture with who did or did no longer make it. The concepts holds memories. I quite confident that the concepts, which isn't the spirit will stay with the actual physique. James 2:26 - says that the physique without the spirit is lifeless. See the spirit strikes on no longer the physique. even however, i'm nonetheless not sure that memory would be long previous. this may be a very solid biblical study to undertake.

    In some ways it will be just like earth. Lucifer was filled with pride and vanity before trying to go against the King of Hosts and even the Prince of Hosts of heaven. And there was a battle in heaven as Lucifer was cast to the ground. In the Book of Daniel the Archangel Gabriel fought against the prince of persia in order to reach Daniel.

    If you ever knew anything you might also probably know that being in the light that knows everything you could probably think like God does. I do not think people who go to heaven will be just like God right away but in an eternity I'm sure your thoughts would grow in his spirit significantly all the time.

    You will be overwhelmed with the glory of God. At first in spirit and after the final judgement, in body as well. It will not be a time of challenge, it will be a time of reward. I guarantee, you will be happy beyond anything you can possibly comprehend now. You will never get bored.

    well... we are defiantly not going to get bored of it.. the bible is very clear about how we will be in a constant state of worship.. and.. idk about you.. if you ever felt that.. but when i am in worship even for a short period of time... it is awesome... there will be nothing to worry about in heaven because all of our trials and temptations will be gone... so like.. we won't want to just stop and play xbox.. or go hang out with our boy friends/ or girl friends.... you see what i mean?

    i hope it helps..

    God bless.
