I believe I will see my loved ones again when a new earth flashes into existence. Rock on! I'd love to believe they go to heaven but I have big doubts about that. Heaven is earth!

I find that belief in an afterlife could be counterproductive in realizing that we should be enjoying and focusing on the here and now, in case there isn't an afterlife.I believe I will see my loved ones again when a new earth flashes into existence.

Well there is truly only one life to live as we wont remember this one come the next.I find that belief in an afterlife could be counterproductive in realizing that we should be enjoying and focusing on the here and now, in case there isn't an afterlife.
I think it might be better to believe that wishful thinking becomes reality. Then you'll everything you could possibly want.I believe I will see my loved ones again when a new earth flashes into existence. Rock on!

Either way, we still die and the trauma of death isn't lessened. Death doesn't hurt any less - whether you're the dying or a loved one - just because you believe the soul goes on. Our lives here will still end, so nothing changes, really. Belief in an afterlife and focusing on here and now aren't mutually exclusive, anyway, if you view living a good, righteous life as the best preparation for eternity.I find that belief in an afterlife could be counterproductive in realizing that we should be enjoying and focusing on the here and now, in case there isn't an afterlife.

True, in the end it will always suck. But I am motivated by my fear of death to make this life as good as possible.Either way, we still die and the trauma of death isn't lessened.

When I found beliefs about eternal life and resurrection well founded in the Bible I was happy. Before that, I was -- confused. There are to be new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness is to be. Revelation 21:1-5. I suggest you read it, it doesn't take very long.I believe I will see my loved ones again when a new earth flashes into existence. Rock on!

What do you think the new earth is?I believe I will see my loved ones again when a new earth flashes into existence. Rock on! I'd love to believe they go to heaven but I have big doubts about that. Heaven is earth!
Simple. Physical bodies are mortal so physical life is not eternal.If life is eternal, how do you explain all the dead people?
I believe that we should be enjoying and focusing on the here and now. Although I believe there is an afterlife, I do not normally think about it unless the subject arises on the forum or unless someone close to me dies. Then I think about it a lot off and on.I find that belief in an afterlife could be counterproductive in realizing that we should be enjoying and focusing on the here and now, in case there isn't an afterlife.

The vehicle for physical life, which is the physical body, expires, because it is not eternal.So then, life is not eternal. The vehicle for life expires. One may be driving a car, but when the car breaks down and one exits the car, are they still driving?
What do you think the new earth is?
How do you think the new earth is going to flash into existence?
I believe I will see my my loved one again in heaven.
Whoever believes that heaven is earth has not lived the kind of life I have lived.
Most of my life has been hell, with a few brief respites in between.
Life can be eternal, or everlasting. But it doesn't have to be.So then, life is not eternal. The vehicle for life expires. One may be driving a car, but when the car breaks down and one exits the car, are they still driving?
Perhaps the OP meant something other than "life" being eternal.
"and away we fly." What do you think that means?It's kind of nice when you feel good, isn't it? And yes, the Bible does say most of our lives will be insisting on trouble. But not always. There's a reason for it. Psalm 90:10 says,
"The span of our life is 70 years,
Or 80 if one is especially strong.
But they are filled with trouble and sorrow;
They quickly pass by, and away we fly."
Yes, I know what it says in Revelation 21:1-5, but I interpret those verses differently than you do.But there is hope. Expressed in part at Revelation 21:1-5, which I encourage you to read, it's brief.
