Whatever it is you deeply and strongly believe is in the afterlife, or "heaven" is what you get. If you want to still feel and look and act human, that's what you will find. But, what if you make a sinful mistake? Be careful what you believe about that.

In Heaven, you remain free to do as you will.....and what you 'will' is to worship God. There isn't punishment in Heaven, because there isn't sin in Heaven. And I believe that the concept of choosing to cease existing (after any amount of time) is a non-issue in Heaven. It wouldn't exist for at least two reasons: First, a person wouldn't want to choose to cease existing in Heaven because every part of their being would want to worship, exalt, and glorify the God before them. And second, a person wouldn't choose to cease existing because they would know that they don't exist in Heaven for their own benefit.

In Luke 23:43, Jesus declared, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise." The word Jesus used for "paradise" is paradeisos which means "a park, that is, (specifically) an Eden (place of future happiness, paradise)". Paradeisos is the Greek word taken from the Hebrew word pardes which means "a park: - forest, orchard" (Strong's). Jesus said, "Today you shall be with me "en paradeisos," not "en nephele" which is Greek for “in clouds.” The point is that Jesus picked and used the word for "a park." Not just any park but "the paradise of God" or park of God (Revelation 2:7) which for us will be a place of future happiness. Does this sound like a boring place? When you think of a park, do you think of boredom? Jesus said, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve" (Matthew 4:10). It's interesting to note that Jesus did not say "praise and serve." Even the briefest examination of the word praise in the Bible quickly shows it's a verbal thing and is for the most part singing. Worship, however, is from the heart. Worship manifests itself in praise. Serving God is worship, and Scripture is clear we will serve God in heaven. "His servants will serve Him" (Revelation 22:3). We are unable to fully serve God in this life due to sin, but in heaven "every curse will no longer be" (Revelation 22:3). We will not be under the curse of sin any longer, so everything we do will be worship in heaven. We will never be motivated by anything other than our love for God. Everything we do will be out of our love for God, untainted by our sin nature. So what will we do in heaven? My favorite thing is to learn. "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?" (Romans 11:34), "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3). God is the "the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity" (Isaiah 57:15). God is bigger than forever, and it will take eternity "to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ" (Ephesians 3:18-19). In other words, we will never stop learning. God's Word says we won't have to be in His paradise alone. "I shall fully know even as I also am fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12). This would seem to indicate that we will not only know our friends and family, we will "fully know" them. In other words, there is no need for secrets in heaven. There is nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing to hide. We will have eternity to interact with "a great multitude, which no man could number, out of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues" (Revelation 7:9). No wonder heaven will be a place of infinite learning. Just getting to know everyone will take eternity! That doesn't sound boring to me.

the wages of sin is death, so if you sin you'll die. But it will be the second death since you would have already died once, and the second death is the lake of fire. Like anacontessa said their is no sin in heaven. You can do what ever you want, but you'll want to do only good. Why would you want to do something bad? Angels have free will, and they freely choose to do the will of God because they understand that the will of God is the best thing to do, and why would you not want to do what is best?

Good Q ... or 3 or 4!!!! 1. It is an eternal Principle of God that you have comeplete freedom to choose. That right will never be removed. 2. There will be no punishment in Heaven because ALL who are repentant enough to reside in Heaven will have learned not to sin by then. It will become, for them, an eternal standard - just as for God's angels and ALL who live in Heaven with Him. God has said: "No unclean thing can dwell in the Kingdom of God" 3. You, as an intelligence in the cosmos, have ALWAYS existed. Therefore, regarless of 'choice' in such matter, you will always exist - forever.

With as vast as the universe is with billions upon billions of stars with planets galore out there even IF there was some super creator (HIGHLY doubtful) do you people really buy into this idea there is some perfect place just for you when the old ticker gives out? Do you HONESTLY believe this creator could possibly give a rats ass what we do on this dinky little rock? If that isn't just the grandest delusion ever i don't know what is.. WAKE UP! Snap out of it! This is it... You don't get a second shot at being purfect..duh..

I'll tell you when I get there.
