The Bible describes heaven as a place of continual and eternal praise of God. Sounds fun, right? It's like going to church all day every day! And nothing else.


No video games and no sex? D:
Sounds pretty awesome!

In the LORD's Kingdom, people will have eternal life at the peak of their DNA lifespan. Therefore, somewhere between 20-35ish depending on the person. Just when the body reaches its peak, but before the downhill stage starts...
These will be physical bodies, but imperishable & incorruptible. Jesus' resurrected body was physical and he actually made breakfast for the disciples on the beach the morning they saw him resurrected.

That's cool and all, but let's talk about the mental aspect a little. Say someone dies in childbirth, or at a very young age, and goes to heaven. Will they have the body of a 25ish year old, with a mind of a child? Will they have the mind of a 25 year old, but with no memories and no life experience?

P.S. I'm guessing Jesus used MiracleWhip for those breakfast sandviches? Harhar.

Lol'd.

If we can ever scientifically achieve true biological immortality, we will have already conquered any disease that kills brain cells, and have developed technology to rebuild dying/dead brain cells.

Jesus said: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, but through Me."

"Whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life."


What I love about Torm is how predictably Christian he is:

Asked a question? Quote some scripture!
Don't understand the question? Quote some scripture!
Don't understand the scripture? Quote some scripture!

Ah.. what a simple and worry-free existence.

we'll never be immortal 'cause that would require infinite resources to keep us going, the question is how long we want/can afford to live, plus freak accidents are bound to happen at one point in time.

I'd rather want to go to limbo like in inception.
