Paradise on Earth

[onewithhim]

When I learned that the Bible speaks of a restored Garden of Eden and the restoration of mankind to the perfection and endless life that Adam forfeited, I was thrilled. Who doesn't want to keep living on this beautiful earth, with our loved ones, and being able to do all the things we love to do---endlessly?

If God said to you today, "When do you want to die?" would you say "now!!"? I don't think very many people would say that.

We CAN live forever here on Earth. The Bible tells us that we can.

Matthew 5:5
Psalm 37:9-11,29

[JehovahsWitness]

Maintaining paradise will be tricky and building it, tricker still.

If you are refering to "paradise " as proposes in scripture, may I ask what challenges you have in mind vis-a-vis the "building" and "maintaining" of [biblical] paradise?

I am.

It is no matter to you, which is fine by me. I am interested in the OP topic and why folk believe in it.
Mostly from YHWHs perspective, since Hers is The Best.

[This universe is purpose built to create gods.]

That is why folk want to stay in it.

Well I don't know who the "her" is you are refering to but I can speak about the OP. If you have any questions related to the OP, feel free to ask.

William: I doubt. I do so because it makes little sense to me to want to experience being human forever, here in this universe.
Even as a planet, I would still doubt...this serving time in a place I regard as a prison. What ghost in its right mind would want to stay here forever?

GM: Entities of Particular Belief Systems

William: To what end? It seems like a long drawn out process.
Now, if that included the ability to go elsewhere and experience something different...then the sense of freedom would be restored...
...I am just trying to figure things out...

Well that would be me. If you have any questions repeated to the OP, feel free to ask.

So you are YHWH and I should feel free to ask you for your answers?

I am not Almighty God but as his Witness I am qualified to inform people about His feelings on certain topics as outlined in scripture.

Sokay really.

I am qualified to have my own - more direct way in which to be informed by YHWH and the connection is just fine - no need for a medium...

Mediums stacked on Mediums

The differing attitudes of consciousness within forms are not indicative of the primary attitude of "GOD" per se. "GOD" cannot be observed in a single individual or species but only in relation to how sapience responds to the environment of the universe and in that, will always tend toward the creative, the preservation of life and the supportive energy toward enhancing that initiative.

Any individuals behaviour which wilfully uses their personal energy in opposition to this ideal relationship between consciousness and the physical world is ignorant of greater good necessary to accomplish such a thing, regardless even if they do so in the name of any idea of theism, or atheism, gender, political agenda, monetary investment - et al.

Ultimately the answer to the question of "GOD", is not here nor there. It can never be proven one way or the other. The existence of consciousness and the existence of this universe should suffice and if one is motivated by the thought that such a being as this could exist in order to support - not only a thing greater than the individual, but greater than the collective, then that is well and good.

Apparently, there are options available for those who have died before the promised return.
One does not have to remain in an unconscious state while things unfold as YHWH has prepared various places for those who have passed on and who's personalities have been deemed worthwhile saving in a free-flowing format rather than in a steady state format. Some remain conscious while others go unconscious and are rebooted at another time...
