The ten:

1. Perfection is sameness.

2. Perfection makes human ability pointless.

3. No thrill of risk.

4. No "animal" pleasures - "food, drink, sleep and sex."

5. No free will.

6. 98% of those in Heaven will be embryos and toddlers (and because they never lived here, they'll be zombies).

7. "Gems and streets of gold" define Heaven.

8. Those in Heaven will either be ignorant of or delighting in the torments of those in Hell.

9. Singing God's praises all the time.

10. Heaven goes on forever - anything without an end gets tiresome eventually.

The natural man can't understand spiritual things, 1 Corinthians 2:14.

She doesn't seem to consider that all the good things He talks of can be expected to be there in some form in Heaven, since they all came from the same divine Mind, but without all of this sin-cursed world's pain, misery and emptiness, which she neglects to talk about.

Isn’t this the same idiot that said God raped Mary?

I guess she is choosing hell instead. That is where the party will be, according to her.

God exists outside space and time, so how could she possibly know? And for God, nothing is impossible. I’d bet we’d be astounded beyond our wildest dreams.

That's so sad. Is that truly what those who don't read the Bible envision Heaven will be like? I feel sorry for the author.

Isaiah says Heaven will have the best food and drink. There will be endless time to read everything in the library. Singing God’s praises (with other people who love Him) is one of my greatest joys now.

The author seems to be a bit of a simple-minded bore.

Personally I can’t even imagine what my thoughts and wants and needs would be in heaven, one of the silliest things people do is try to imagine whether they will be longing for ice cream, or classical music, or pizza, or their dog, or cotton clothes, in heaven.

Thanks for the list.

They are quite silly.

There is an old joke that goes, a man dies and in the afterlife he finds he is waited on hand and foot. Anything he wants, all he has to do is ask and it’s gotten for him.

He says, you know, I wasn’t that good. Why am I here in Heaven.

And one of the servants answers, oh no, you’re mixed up. This isn’t Heaven, this is Hell.

Well, that all sounds good to me because Jesus will be there.

These are stupid human concerns. How can our imperfect human minds comprehend perfection? We won’t need nor want many things that we have on earth. Furthermore, if you love God, then singing His praises is one of the sweetest things. She speaks like someone who hates God and can never understand the joy of Him. I pity her.

I’ve thought of what it being like the author described....forever and forever and forever listening to a choir.

I’ve also thought about forever and forever listening to flames crackling.

She needs to believe in God in order to reach Heaven.

How wonderful it will be to actually see God and be with Him.

I hope she grows up and starts to understand and learns to grow in faith.

May we all follow Jesus and create Peace and Heaven on earth.

One is a flawed premise. Two is a flawed premise. Three is a flawed premise. Five is just wrong. Six and Eight are just wrong. Ten is wrong unless you’re in Hell.

These ten points are clearly made by someone who doesn’t understand God, and what being saved is. It is as if a communist wrote down why Heaven would be Hell.

I will tell you that Heaven WOULD be Hell for those that want nothing to do with God. God doesn’t force Himself on anyone.

No comprehension that to be in the presence of the almighty, powerful Creator who loves us is all that is necessary for heaven.

She is measuring Heaven against the earthly life which is really not so hot!

Other than the analogies that Jesus used in reference to heaven, 1 Corinthians 2:9 addresses this issue, basically indicating that our minds are incapable of conceiving what heaven is like.

I’ve had a couple of God encounters that I believe are just a shadow of what heaven is going to be like.

With that kind of peace and joy, I’ll take it any day.

I can’t wait to get there.

She doesn’t have a clue.....
