As a Christian, I personally don't get the concept of heaven. Heaven is supposed to be like paradise, with no suffering or conflict. But that's what I don't get; you can't have paradise without suffering and conflict because paradise is an escape from suffering and conflict. Without suffering and sadness to compare it to, there would be no happiness. A week-long vacation is a vacation only because of the 46-so other weeks of work/school. Without suffering/conflict, life would be mundane--we would feel numb.

The issue you're facing is that you aren’t entirely understanding how we will exist in eternity. Paul writes of how we will be fixed to live properly in eternity, without struggling through an issue of mundanity to existence, in the First Epistle to the Corinthians, where he writes:
>So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. - First Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter 15, Verses 42-45
It'd be best to read the whole chapter with great attention to each of its words just so that you can comprehend all of what Paul is saying here a bit better, but to summarize it for you, our bodies will be perfect to how God wills them in heaven. Since God's will is perfect, we will experience perfection. Because of this, when in heaven, our capacity to find joy in the things we experience throughout eternity will be ever-expanding, for our resurrected, spiritual body will be everlasting, and so too all of its feelings (now also made perfect, so no suffering will be felt) must also last forever, including joy, which, by being everlasting, must then be ever-expanding to last forever, for if it was not, then it would have a limit to eventually be reached from the time of eternity. Because God is infinite, He will never run out of ways to love us and bless us with intrigue and fascination while we are with Him for eternity. In doing this, then, our ever-expanding capability to enjoy will be binded together with His forever-ongoing capability to gift us joy, and even from this relationship, by us being permanently satisfied with God, then we are also glorifying Him in permanence, and so the perfection of eternity fulfills the eternal God and the resurrected man, and we will all be satisfied forever by being with God.

Thanks for the explanation; a much better and nicer explanation than what Nagolchud gave me
 
Let's not scurry about this stuff any longer. Both Nagolbud's response and mine were proper for answering Acro's question, just in different manners, and Acro believes one manner, mine, was better for his understanding than Nagolbud's. That doesn't mean the other was any less valuable, for it was still delivered with heart and truth.

The fuck is you smoking. My post didn't insult you at all... it was an attempt to get you to think for yourself instead of deepthroating what men have to say. Go read your Bible dude...

>tells me that suffering is all I know and calls my comment cope, also completely misses the point of my original comment
I'm pretty sure that IS insulting someone

You're taking it as a personal attack when it's literally answering your question. Stop being such a squishy soyboy.
 
Heaven is just a very big and comfy bed, blankie on top as I sleep forever in eternal coziness
