  • If I were a J.W. the answer would be yes.
  • I think we would need to find a Paradise Earth for this incredible phenonoma to have any chance of coming true. So my answer for me must be No. If it is a persona religious belief then for them yes.
  • No, it isn't in our nature. We would destroy it.
  • how long is forever? example.lifetime warranty is only 25 years.
  • No - absolutely not - not with the laws of physics as we know them. Everything would have to drastically change so it would be an earth, nothing like we know it now. Eternity is a veery very long time. We couldn't keep increasing in numbers, so that would mean an eternity without children. What a horrible world - doesn't even begin to sound like paradise to me!. If there is no more death ... what would we eat? Something has to die to be food - even if it is plants and vegetables. If we had homes, clothes, books, shoes etc etc we would need to work, clean, get resources which surely would be finite in this type of system? What would happen if someone trying to fill in some of this never ending time was on a billion,trillion year trek around the globe accidently fell into a volcano - would they die?.. but - aren't they meant to live eternally? Could we jump off cliffs, walk under water, fall on our cutlery?? The universe is in perfect balance at the moment. If it stayed as it was we would be in for a spectacular sun show. Mightn't be too comfortable - but it would sure be a jawdropper. "For the next 5 billion years so, our Sun will keep on burning hydrogen, and will have a fairly boring youth. Then, as it uses up the hydrogen at its centre, and starts to burn helium, it will have some exciting changes. These changes will happen over just a few hundred million years. Our Sun will get hundreds of times bigger and brighter. It will puff off its outer layers of matter through the solar system and into the space between the stars. Some of the inner planets will vanish, swallowed up by the expanding Sun. The Sun should keep on expanding until it gets to around the orbit of Earth. On Earth, the oceans of water will vaporise , and be replaced by oceans of molten rock. Our home may or may not survive. But if it does survive, it will have a strange glassy surface, as the molten rock cools down. All the outer planets should survive. Then, the Sun will shrink down into a much smaller and denser star - about half the size of the Earth. It will start off as a white dwarf, and then gradually change colour into a red dwarf as it gets colder. The future solar system will be unrecognisable to us of today. Two or three of the planets will be gone, and the surviving planets will freeze in a perpetual darkness, spinning around a dull and shrunken star, barely glowing. No ... don't think I want to be there! and I know... those who believe oherwise will tell me I will have no hope ...for that I am truly thankful
  • There would be as many definitions of paradise as there are folks to inhabit the place...so probably no paradise is possible. Also, everything has cause and effect. Impermanance is the one over-riding fact of all that there is, so the place couldn't last forever either.
  • Yes, read the bible and you will find out.
  • The Bible teaches that God will bring about these changes to the earth. "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."_ Revelation 21:4 "The lame will climb up just like a stag does."_Isaiah 35:6 "The eyes of the blind ones will be opened."_Isaiah 35:5 "All those in the memorial tombs will...come out."_ John 5:28, 29. "No resident will say: 'I am sick.'"_ Isaiah 33:24 "There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth." _Psalm 72:16 "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." _Psalm 37:29, Revelation 21:3,4 Obviously, this has not happened yet. People now get sick and die; they even fight and kill one another. Surely, however, God did not purpose that the earth should be as we see it today! Why has God's purpose not been fulfilled? No history book written by man can tell us because the trouble started in heaven.
  • Matthew 5:5,Rev.21:1
  • Yes. If you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and friend. <><
  • this was God's purpose for man since the beginning of mankind. psalms 115:16 says: "as regards the heavens to Jehovah the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men. it was never his purpose for us to have to die to finally enjoy life in eternity. since he made us of flesh, this makes us terrestial creatures, designed to live on this planet. his purpose was that eventually the garden of eden be expanded into a global paradise. even though man ruined what God set out to do, his purpose is still to see that this is accomplished. to not would be an admission of failure on his part. Jehovah never fails!!
  • No, I don't subscribe to that theology.
