re: Do you ever think about the concept of eternity?

Let's say we do go to Heaven to be with God. Could you imagine spending all of eternity in one location? A place where you don't die and you just live on forever. I find that concept just as difficult to grasp as the idea that we just cease existing when we die.
The Bible says “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart of man has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. Nobody comes to the father, except through me.” And to get to the Father, it’s pretty simple. You have to “confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved.”

I personally think that when we die, we just go to where we were before birth. It’s an unfathomable concept to grasp, but I think it’s something that anyone would rather compared to immortality. Imagine living FOREVER and doing EVERYTHING possible over a billion year span. It would be exhausting.
It sucks knowing we will all not exist at some point, I agree. But I choose that over the concept over forever.

Sometimes I think about these things:
1) How does God avoid getting bored? It is like he is playing an online civilization game where he already knows what is going to happen and he is playing it forever.
2) How does any afterlife jibe with being out like a light under anesthesia? I figure that is a preview.
3) Go back 6 generations and any one ancestor of yours only contributed 1/64th of your DNA. How much do you know about any of your 64 ancestors? That is how much anybody will remember about you. You will be remembered as long as someone you know is alive. Then you will just be a name someone finds in their DNA search and how long is 6 generations in the overall scheme of things?
4) nobody can really comprehend billions of years or millions of light years.
5) How could heaven exist peacefully if the same assholes who want to rule over people here go there? What would heaven be for achievers and how would they not conflict with other achievers? How would everything going perfectly right not get boring to the point where people start whining about something anyway?

All I know is I plan to live forever and so far, so good.

What trips me out is the thought of not existing. It gives me panic attacks sometimes if I think about it for awhile. But you don’t remember before you were born, so I just assume it’s like that. (Black nothingness) You’re only here for a short amount of time, make the most of it.

How do you know it's black nothingness before you were born?

our minds can't comprehend anything like this, and heaven may be infinite as well, fwiw
beats the hell out of staying in the dirt ....

I believe that God created all things, and has prepared for those who believe in Him and heed His word a place that is so unimaginably wonderful that no man can even fathom it’s spectacular beauty. Heaven is perfect and in heaven there shall be no sadness or pain and suffering. God sent His son to earth to save us, all of us, and He will return one day. All He asks of us is to wholeheartedly, unwaveringly believe and trust in Him.

I believe I'll get up, make coffee, and see what this eternity has in store for me today.

I know I don't know

Let's just say I would rather eternity in paradise with God than eternity in hell. Eternity in hell is much a harder concept to grasp to me. It doesn't matter if you believe or not, the fact is none of know for certain and I would much rather take the safe bet.

Eternity is a state, not a time span.
Posted on 1/28/18 at 7:29 am to RollTide1987
what if the "light at the end of the tunnel" is actually an opening to another vagina?
Posted on 1/28/18 at 7:38 am to RollTide1987
Everything you know exists has a beginning and an end.
That's why eternity is a concept most people can't grasp.
I can't, my mind starts spinning.
I just believe it's foolish and shortsighted to think all creation was made and all there is to it is few years on earth and then you rot.

It is perfectly accurate to say time is a measure of the temporal distance between events.

The concept that time never ends and we could possibly go on and on and on and on forever scares me almost as much as ceasing to exist

Possibly the origin and meaning of “God fearing”?

I have recurring dreams where I can fully comprehend eternity and it's the most frightening thing I've ever experienced. I wake up covered in sweat every time. I. Any explain it very well because it's more of a feeling than a visual thing but it's crazy.
