I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR WHICH BORN AGAINERS NEVER HAVE AN ANSWER:
THE QUESTION IS: What will heaven look like?

Will it be a bunch of clouds with people in white robes playing harps?
Maybe it will be a big city or small town, such as we are used to, with little homes and apartments to live in.
Will we wear white robes or regular clothes?
Will we have cars, bikes, TV and MP3?
Will there be sex?
Will we have jobs or will we just sit around doing nothing?
Will we, as some believe, sit at the feet of God and listen to sermons for all eternity?
Will we be reunited with family members long past?
and this one......
SINCE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GOING TO HEAVEN FOR CENTURIES, WILL IT BE CROWDED WITH ASIANS, EUROPEANS, LATINOS, ETC? i KNOW HEAVEN IS NOT JUST FOR AMERICANS. JUST HOW BIG IS HEAVEN? AND IS HELL BIGGER?

GOD I SOUND LIKE THE OLD GUY ON 60 MINUTES!!!!!

1. Ask them if we have free will in heaven...
...and if we do, what prevents us from sinning? :)

2. what age are we in heaven?
The age we die? or in the prime of life?

The response will be that it will be a strictly spiritual plane of existence, and we'll all be basking in the glory of God 24/7

Or as David Byrne says:

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
could be so exciting, and so much fun.

7. nothing at all, so exciting, so much fun...
in other words, it's a scam.

my question was since god is the father, meaning male, does he ever have to pee, and does he stand, or sit?

in addition, everything is not always great in heaven, otherwise the angel that became satan would not have rocked the boat and been expelled.

there seems to be lots of questions, but no answers...

we been had, folks.

5. The bible says that Heaven will eventually be here on earth.

After it is destroyed? So do your Christian part and destroy a little yourself. Now Now saving the environment only shows your inability to believe in the "ALL MIGHTY ONE." In God we Trust.

And are you talking about Andy Rooney?

8. those questions are not supposed to have answers
they're rhetorical questions conveying that you don't believe in heaven.

10. I wanna go to Hell
so I can be with my friends.

A man goes to Heaven, where Saint Peter gives him a tour. On the outskirts of the Lord's kingdom is a brick building with no windows and no doors.

"What the...er, what's that?" he asks Peter.

"Oh, that's the Baptists. They like to think they're the only ones here."

(Substitute Republicans, neocons, fundamentalists, moral majority, etc... to your liking.)

12. If you're really serious
I believe heaven is a place where there is no matter like we have here. No substance because we are all spirit beings. Do you think there will be republicans in heaven? WE won't work but will sing praises to God for eternity. But it will be fun! We will know our loved ones but we won't be "married" in heaven. Actually my pastor preached on this last week. There will be no sex...Sex was only to procreate...No need there. ;)O8) And another thing...I truly believe God will return soon. Are you ready?

13. What happens to all the Chinese and
Indians, etc. that are not Christians? That's quite a few people for God to ignore, huh?

14. Also, if Heaven is so wonderful
what's the matter with killing everyone you want to in order to send them to a better place?
