Hi, thanks for all who wrote something helpful.

This is a public forum, BUT this doesn't give anyone the right to say another person is not saved!

This should go without saying, at a christian forum! If this is tolerated here then this place is not safe and isn't for me.

If I want to see/hear christians arguing with each other I can just go to youtube. *facepalm*

This is really repelling. I'm rather a lone wolf than to be exposed to people who attack me or just like to argue.

Well, my suggestion is to reply to those of us who affirm your quest and ignore those who are hateful or pejorative.
My posts were #13, 34 and 59.

Yeah sorry that happened . it happens here a lot even though the bible were heard discussing …….teaches

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:1-2‬ ‭

Like I had said I had basically the same tboughts years ago before I got old . And read more about eternity it actually soundsanazi g and exciting and filled with wonder and possibility definately a lot of activities that were familiar with as we live our lives just not the evil

People say a lot of things in real life that are not right, never mind here in the internet which should have zero real life consequences for you.

If someone states outright you are not saved,I recommend you report their post. There's a report button at the bottom of every post. Use it.

Because it is against the rules to say someone is not saved.

That offender isn't God. They have no right to say they can judge what is only the providence of the father to judge.
Reporting them is disciplinary. Someone needs to teach them how to behave.


God Bless.

Do you also worry about this?

What if while we're here we look forward to heaven and everything being perfect and then once we get there

we notice that we cannot really enjoy it or grasp it? Or what if after a while we forget how much this world sucked

and thus our gratefulness declines?

This is scary.

I also cannot imagine being totally happy and without any care, can you? To me this is unreal. I just can't imagine it.


Or what if it's like looking forward to a special event like Christmas and then when you finally get there you don't really

"feel" it?

Or what if heaven is so perfect that it becomes boring, like playing a game and you have all the cheat codes and thus it

loses its attraction? That would also be scary.

Well for that to happen would mean Jesus lied to us. WE shall know as were are fully known and we will be changed the flesh will not be an issue . The when you ask this qestion is has to be from a carnal mindset.
 
One of the things that I have most enjoyed on earth is fishing! Not that I do it often, but when I do, I find great joy in the relaxation that it brings to me. I have often wondered if this is something that will be missed in Heaven! Or, does God have something even better for me to enjoy.
I believe that He will!


I'm going to guess that since it's not a sin to eat meat AND Jesus fed His disciples on the shore and ate meat, that we can take our family fishing .

I asked the Lord already if I can take Dad fishing when I get there. If fishing isn't aloud in the River of Life , I'm sure it will be on the new earth.

I understand your worries—they are very human thoughts. The truth is, we don’t fully know exactly what our experience in heaven will be like. But the Bible gives us glimpses, and they are meant to inspire awe, not fear.

What we do know is that in the new Jerusalem, we will be filled with the glory of God. Everything there will be completely alive with His presence, and He Himself will be the light—so there will be no need for the sun or moon (Revelation 21:23).

The city is described as enormous, too vast to measure, with streets of gold and gates made of precious gems (Revelation 21:16–21). Its beauty is beyond anything we have ever seen, and it is not just decoration—its glory is the presence of God Himself. Imagine being surrounded completely by goodness, love, and holiness, where every desire is fulfilled in the best way because it flows from Him. Can anyone ever grow bored of being with God? His glory is infinite; it will never run out or lose its wonder.

We may worry that we won’t “feel” it like we expect, or that it might become boring—but our enjoyment won’t come from the same fleeting thrills we have here. It will come from being fully alive in God’s presence, sharing in His joy and perfection. That kind of joy doesn’t fade, and it is far beyond anything we can imagine now.

So even though we cannot picture it perfectly, we can trust that being filled with the glory of God in the new Jerusalem will be more wonderful than anything we have ever experienced. There is no boredom in the eternal joy that comes from Him, because it is alive, infinite, and completely satisfying.

here is a tiny glimpse but it will be so much more than this;

Heard someone share a story of what GOD did but something He did say was "there are no ifs in Gods plan" So many feelings we have are based on what? Not GOD but because of the fall. Think...your looking at this through the eyes of the flesh which we know we only see through a cloudy "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. "

Then He said “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” So we can't even think imagine wonder what God has prepared for us.. yeah.. awesome.
