Eternal afterlife

[snowtracks]

---

Back and forth we go -

"You have to believe in god." "God didn't say that, he said this." "Hell isn't that, it's this." "You have to be forgiven." "You have to repent." "You can't know god until you..."

jesus-tap-dancing-christ-on-a-saltine-cracker, not a single one of you knows for sure what happens when you die, but somehow your particular interpretation of ancient scribblings from primitive minds has somehow made you the self-proclaimed authority on "the true" afterlife.

Let me tell you something about your afterlife ---

It doesn't matter how amazing Heaven is. It wouldn't matter if Hell is a great party. If you could choose any paradise you wanted for all of time, or even explore the cosmos for all eternity it would NOT matter one damn bit.

Why?
Because 1 year - or 900 trillion years into your perfect existence, you would eventually feel an overwhelming emptiness that could never be broken.
What makes any life beautiful and worth living is the chase to discover more before the end.




[hide]Only a fool would want to live forever. Make the most of what you have today.

Not exactly, in the new creation those that accept God's reason for the universe: To make Christ's Works of Redemption available to each person (notice, that the 'work' part is already done) will have free will without the possibility of not doing wrong. We, yes 'we'  (atheist can say 'yes' to salvation like anyone else), will exercise our free will to choose what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (see Philippians 4:8). The new Earth and Heavens are never going to be mundane - the proportions between the size of the current earth to largest volume building (perhaps the Boeing Everett WA production facility), and the New Jerusalem City which is cubic shaped with each length around 1500 miles will be placed onto the earth which means that the  to the new Earth would factor to be a trillion times larger than the current earth. Now, how great is that? Free will without the possibility of sinning and plenty to explore with glorified bodies (no weariness). 

In all of this, remember to "Give careful thought to your ways".
