Although I'm not positive I could stand heaven for eternity either. You guys do a much better job of selling hell as a place to avoid than heaven as a place you'd want to spend eternity in. Of couse, if Islam is the true path, you've no complaints if Allah simply holds you to the choice you made, eh?If God of the Bible is not the God of Heaven then I have no desire to go.
Why? Because Heaven has nothing to do with living in a Gated community with Gold streets and everyone gets a mansion. Heaven is being with God no matter what that may look like. Meaning the focus is on God not on your surroundings or what God can do for you.
I asked this question to illustrate a the point.
If for some reason the descriptions of Heaven and Hell were somehow confused in the past and Heaven was a fiery pit (but God lived there) and Hell was what we think to be paradise (but no God) would you want to still goto Heaven (The fiery pit?)
Heaven is where God is not matter what that might look like. the reason I want to goto Heaven is to be with God, not because of what He has to offer. So again if the God of the Bible is not the god of Heaven then I will be content in having my fate be the same as everyone else who chooses not to goto Heaven. Again no compassion necessary.
