Have you Christians ever actually thought about eternity and all that it entails?

I mean, you exist for eternity. There is no break. What can you possibly do in Heaven for an eternity? As another asker pointed out, it's insanity inducing.

Do you think God will just let you cease to exist if you ask? Or will you be damned as his plaything for eternity?

    Alex, you have a very limited concept of what "heaven" is, who and what God is, and who and what WE are. Plus, I don't get the idea you have much of a concept as to what the world is, either. The possibilities are limitless. Neither you nor I could begin to imagine the never-ending exploration of infinity.

    Knowing that death is just lurking nearby, why wouldn't I think extensively of what could an afterlife be like? Heaven is only described figuratively in the bible but it is assured to be a happy place. I'm sure you know the difference between being real happy and being told to pretend to be happy. I know that I'm happy about facing adventures, indulgences, and challenges on earth. Why would I think that God is oblivious to that fact?

    Yes, I have thought about it. Have you thought about what you're going to do when you die and find out your not dead. How many witnesses do you have from people who die, and then come back to tell everyone there really is no life after death? All the testimony goes the other way.

    The Bible speaks of Heaven as a city. A city is bustling with activity, people going to and fro, to jobs, or on dates, to the movies or shopping. I think Heaven will be a lot like life now, only without all the drama and pain.

    its actually a lie that people will be spending etenrity in heaven.... the bible says that the holy city will come down to earth at the end of the 1,000 year period. God will restore this earth and all of his peopel will be living on it.

    we will have real physical bodies like we do now but perfect without flaws. . what will we be doing on the new earth? probably farming, gardening, building new houses, playing with the tigers and the lions in the field etc. there will be lakes and rivers to swim in.

    You will become one with God in purpose, helping others to also spiritually grow and progress and become greater and perfected. You will be very very busy.

    Do you understand the Abrahamic covenant. Your seed will be numbered like the sand and the stars. What is God's purpose for all of this? To help us become greater and better? To help us become like him. If each person, under this Abrahamic covenant's seed will be numbered like the sand and the stars, which is practically too large of a number to count, then there is a whole lot of work to do, to help others also achieve that divine inheritance as well. After we are perfect and have no more to progress in ourselves, how does our progression continue? Where do we find our joy? The same place God does, in our posterity.

    Well not sure, I know I am very rich in heaven. Or at least as per my faith. I have found a way to save Jesus, and bring Gods son before him. Kinda like rescuing his son, and a reward. NO ONE HAS THAT ONE. Maybe Elijah has it and Enoch. But my faith to be pure as God and holy, has brought me much misery and suffering in this life, and I believe God will bless my mind and heart as everyone around me says IMPOSSIBLE for the spirit of God, and God knows his place before Satan, and that is only God will ever be the only one holy and pure in this world so he can die for us all and rise and we all love it only the father is holy and pure, and we are his sinners in need of saving as the Christians attack me.

    2. I also believe I will have a wife in heaven and love my bride as Jesus loves his church and bring her home to heaven, while again the rest love their bride dead, and know nothing of Gods ways of love and are lost in their own ways not knowing what they do. Gods ways live forever, as Christians marriages will all die with death do them all apart. They are not aware of their flesh and the corruption it has, and they love and worship the world and things in it.

    My mind is always on heaven seeking for wisdom and treasures.

    I have 2 I am proud to find. Looking for more...wish I was more humble..
