BTW, what do YOU think people who "go to heaven" do ? Sit around playing harps and singing hymns ?
You've ridiculed the Mormons for THEIR beliefs. Grow a pair and tell us YOURS.
I misspoke. You’ve ridiculed the Mormons by your clearly unbiased (cough, cough) presentation of their beliefs.
Dou you have to travel far to refill on bias, spew and ugliness ? Or do you just download it ?
Group hates are much more inspiring in person.
Oh?
Nope; merely pointed out that MORMONism is nowhere close to being 'christian'; even though it has incorporated some of the same words that Christianity uses and re-defined them.
Perhaps that is the source of your confusion.
Let's get the "harps" query out of the way first:
Per this Does heaven exists? (Time Magazine, March 24, 1997) article, 43% of Americans (as of over 15 yrs ago) believed then that harps would be in heaven?
[You're not dissin' about 40% of Americans on this topic, are you, Jim?]
So...where did this concept come from? Well, actually the New Testament itself!
Allow me to quote Mark Hitchcock's book, 55 Answers to Questions About Life After Death:
"The Greek word for harp in the New Testament is kithara, from which we get our word guitar. The kithara was a stringed instrument like a lyre or small modern harp. The harp is employed more than any other instrument in Scripture in the direct worship and praise of God. The noun and verb form of this word occur six times in the New Testament, and four of them are in Revelation. The first use is found in Revelation 5:8: 'When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and bowls of incese, which are the prayers of the saints.'...In Revelation 15:2, Tribulation saints--those who refused to take the mark of the beat and were martyred for the sake of Christ--are pictured 'standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God.'" (Multnomah, 2005, pp. 144-145)
Re: what we DO in heaven...Hitchcock has surveyed the New Testament and answers that question on pp. 174-178. I will simply give you his six-point summary from pp. 176-178:
1. Singing and praising God (Rev. 4:10-11; 7:7-12; 11:15-17; 14:3; 15:2-4; 19:4-6) [I would think this includes glorifying God for both who He is...and for what He has, and continues to accomplish, provide, give, etc.] Praise God, the ONLY True God!!!
2. Serving (Rev. 1:6; 7:15; 19:5; 22:3)
3. Supervising (Matt. 25:21; Lk 19:17-19; 1 Cor. 6:3; 2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 3:20-21; 20:4; 22:5)
4. Sharing (1 John 3:2; Rev. 22:4)
5. Studying (1 Cor. 13:12). By this Hitchcock means "Since...we will never know everything, we will spend eternity learning more about the infinite majesty of God's person and ways."
6. Being served (Lk 12:35-37) ...Surprisingly, not necessarily by "one another" -- but actually being served by God Himself, the Ultimate Servant-Leader.
