I think you are mistaken if you think that no Christians believe that Heaven will be a lot like church, and that singing hymns to the Creator will be a big part of it.
That's the problem with the Heaven concept. People like you will reserve the right to imagine whatever you like, and will deflect ALL criticism as not being accurate.
That is a real fallacy, unlike the imaginary fallacy you attributed to me.
Your original statement was this:
“Christian heaven has always seemed like a silly idea to me too. I wouldn’t want to go either, even if there was evidence of a Christian heaven.
It would be like going to church and never being able to leave. Singing hymns would probably get old after the first trillion years.”
If you believe I have mischaracterized this statement as being false, show me where it is documented that this is the majority accepted opinion of Christian theologians. You want to appeal to the fact that some may believe this, well that does not make it the Christian heaven.
The entire point of my post is to show that you cant set up an incorrect image for purposes of argument and then levy unjust criticism. Thats exactly the tactic liberals use
and it exactly the definition of a straw man.
Anyone who thinks we’ll spend eternity as disembodied ectoplasm strumming harps all day long had better read the Bible again. The angels were created a spirit beings; but man was created as spirit and body and was meant to live in the physical realm.
There will be a new heaven and a new earth. We will be given new bodies (incorruptible physical bodies) and will dwell on the earth, the way Adam was meant to.
We won’t be singing hymns all day to God either, unless you think God’s intent is bore his people to tears. He knows better than you what you’ll need to be happy in eternity. And if signing hymns 24/7 ain’t it, then I wouldn’t worry.
