Life is monotonous without challenges/problems.If heaven is a perfect place with no troubles,why go?

Question

Debate the above, give opinions. Written below are just some further elaborations of the question.

Life is only 'fun' or even ironically 'lively' when we have things/situations to worry or panic about, and when we have solved life's major problems such as not having enough money, not having a partner(personal problems) etc. life is almost perfect. In fact, too perfect and peaceful it becomes really boring. There is no purpose to look to without a challenge in life. With this argument, should we live life searching for trouble (however not so deep that we wouldn't be able to get out of it)? Should we look for problems to be involved in to solve, in order to keep life interesting?

So the main question open for debate here that I actually had was, how about heaven? Would heaven be too perfect that there would not be anything to worry about? (It turns out that having nothing to worry about is a worry in itself.) Who would then want to go to heaven if, following the above argument, it will be so boring?

Answer 1

You are very much right friend. Fool plans to go heaven.

Answer 2

The beauty and challenge of life is discovery, and some people think they will get bored in heaven because there will be no challenge or things to discover.



This can't be further from the truth.

Our God is eternal and can never be fully known.

You will have an eternity to get to know all the wondrous things about the eternal and everlasting God, you will never get bored because they will always be something knew to discover about him .

Get it?

Answer 3

Life... as we know it will be over and a new life begun. You are basing your ideas on what we know now... heaven will be so very different. No sickness or disease, no concerns for food and drink, a state of eternal bliss... angels and saints for company and perfect voices singing... and above all that God Himself there in the middle of everything.



But if that really doesn't sound like something you would like... maybe you shouldn't go there.

Answer 4

What?

Once we talk about heaven, we've already accepted that God exists and that He created us and that He wants us to be with Him.



Here is a God who created us and therefore must know us better than we know ourselves (after all, we can't create ourselves). So it makes no sense to say that God doesn't understand (but we do) what will make us happy in heaven.



So it makes no sense to doubt Him at that point.

Answer 5

Heaven will contain infinite challenges to engage with, because as you say it would be boring otherwise
