so you believe there is work? is gardening creative work? like in paradise, or eden?
Yes, I believe there will be work, but it will be enjoyable and creative, not tiring or painful. Gardening is definitely creative and I can only begin to imagine the beautiful gardens of the eternal realm.

So is there a need for work in heaven? energy expenditure?

I believe it is something like this:

for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14:17

Perhaps that includes some “work”, if it gives joy for the person.

Genuine question here. If heaven doesn't exist where does God and his Angel pals hang out at?

Hang out?
You think they meet at a Heaven Café slurp some Heaven Coffee or Tea and discuss the latest Heaven gossip?

The afterlife is most probably non-corporal. A soul has no place to hang out. Except perhaps at its source.


But quite honestly I couldn't care less about the afterlife.

Why do they need gardening? Can they poison weeds? Or do they have to be plucked one at a time? Do we get good gloves? Can I still bleed if I cut myself? What about snow? Is there snow? How will the garden do on snow?

If there is work in heaven I'm surely going to under qualified for it.
heaven, i suspect, would be more like a loving parent to a child. the work will be evenly distributed amongst everyone. the stronger and more capable will have more work that they can manage and the weaker and less capable will only have what they can manage.

I don't think there will be a need for gardening, it will be for enjoyment. What makes you think there'd be poisonous weeds in heaven? A need for gloves or weather extremes? Or that anyone would get cut and bleed?
