What do you do in Heaven?

For those of you who believe in an afterlife and an actual place where souls go, what do you believe that it is like? Is its an actual other world where spirits interact with eachother? Are there physical attributes to it? Are there any activities other then worship? I would hope so...I wouldn't want to believe that God made heaven just so spirits could spend all eternity worshipping him. As humans, we have so much potential to do great and wonderful things, I would hate to see that wasted on praise rather than helping somebody/something. Anyway...just curious what kind of Heaven is in everyone's minds.

As I said in another thread, Heaven is being in the presence of God. It is not a Place.
We will do nothing as we know it . When we return to and become one with God, we shall be and do as he wills it.

According to what i believe in there is no such a thing called worshipping in heaven but to enjoy and get reward for our deeds and worshipping in this current short life.:)

I hope I will see all those I love who have died; that we be reuinited. I'm not sure if God has a playroom, or a work rota though!:D


As Terry has said, the principle is being with God; after that, who cares ?

Well, at least you give the advertizers the confidence of knowing you remember both the ad and the product!:biglaugh:

edit: I had this horrendous urge to say, in answer to the thread title "I don't know, I am not there":D

The Bible doesn't talk too much about heaven.Maybe if it did it wouldn't be as cool when we get there.Or maybe it's going to be so wonderful our minds wouldn't be able to comprehend it.I believe the latter.

I think that latter part of your answer is the most likely reason; as in the same way that there is negligible descriptions of God - simply because the concept would be way over our heads...........I wish I was taller....:biglaugh:

I believe Summer Land is a place similiar to this world, minus the pains of it. You can do anything you want, have anything, and live a care free life with the worries being no bigger than "do I go swimming after I smoke this bowl or play my bass?"

Surely that should read "as we will it", not as He wills it. If we returned to and become one with God, then we are God.

That doesn't answer the original question. What will people do in paradise?

In that case, I am changing to atheism. I love strawberry cream cheese.

How many kings? Will the earth be divided up into sections with each one having a bit of the earth.

Will there be any Queens? Or do only men go to heaven
