  • G'day Justme, Thank you for your question. It depends on the afterlife we would up with. Heaven might be paradise where you enjoy everything you want or it might be like eternity in the bible belt. The former is a much more enticing prospect. In Buddhism, if you achieve nirvana, you are not reborn unlike everybody else so eternity wouldn't matter to you. In Valhalla, warriors prepare for the final battle between the Gods and the giants. Apparently, you spend each day fighting while at night you eat roast boar and drink intoxicating drink. It would get a trifle wearing after a while.

  • Because we know so little of heaven, it I do not think it would be heresy to "conceive of eternity being a relational rather than a linear measurement" Of all things to which Jesus could have compared heaven, He chose to compare it with a great feast, a scene of loving relationship. (Matthew 22:1-14, 25:10, Luke 15:23) Heaven is pictured as a wonderful banquet, filled with happy guests, and filled with the warmth of love and friendship. "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast." (Matthew 22:4). With love in Christ.
  • hard to say. the very concept of time, being the fourth dimension, is merely a linear representation of the 3 dimensional world we all know. when this world passes from us, i think we take all rules that came with this forsaken place and throw them away. time becomes timeless, so to speak, and the very concept will pass from our minds. i dont think it is heresy to think of time as relative in the afterlife, because time itself can be discarded once we are no longer part of this world. hope that helps :D and good luck with the afterlife thing, i peronally suggest Christ's version.
