What do any of you think?
It's all very well that you argue with my point of view.
I'm going to concede now that the Christian God exists, Jesus is our lord and saviour, he died on the cross for our sins.

What did he die for?
Our never ending lives?

PLEASE explain to me what our never ending lives might entail. PLEASE go into detail. PLEASE tell me what the point in those never ending lives would be.

I have nothing to fall back on. If someone asks me a question I answer it honestly.
I find myself asking questions that are not met with the same level of honesty, I haven't got to see the real Mathias, I want to see the real Mathias.
I want to see the real Wrangler. I want to see the real living people that I'm engaging with.
I have no reference point to defend my position from.
I know that a counter argument is coming, I'm arrogant or haven't read scripture in the right way.... I just want to sin, or whatever....

I have asked this question numerous times now, can anyone answer it?

As Christians, what do you expect that your eternal life will look like?
Your day to day?

I think that you are so blinded by death being overcome, you haven't actually thought about what that means in reality.
I think that the thought of not dying and being around forever is somewhat appealing, until you REALLY think about it.
I think that more thought is required.

I'm not making an objective statement, if I was you would agree.

The concept of circles is subjective as you've already pointed out. Four sides and all that lol.
It's all about opinions. Opinions of sentient beings.

LOL? Not only is your theology wrong, so is your metaphysics; “the concept of circles is subjective” is an objective statement. sml

To say “it’s all about opinions” denies objective reality, truth and facts independent of one’s opinions.

I don't think that ANYTHING is objective.
Everything is subjective because anything on the planet that 'thinks' decides what their thoughts are on their own merits.
Objectivity depends upon a set of rules that's set in stone.
Nothing is set in stone. Not even by your own God's standards.
Give me an example of objective anything.

The Bible only provides glimpses of heaven. Whatever else we will be doing in God’s eternal “park,” we know it will be wonderful beyond our imagination. “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9, NLT).

How do you 'know' that Corinthians is accurate? Or more to the point, why do you think that Corinthians is any different to any other work of fiction? Because it made it into the Bible?
Many books and writings of the time were omitted from the Bible. Corinthians is nothing special, it fits in with the narrative and that's all.

Millions upon millions of years elapsed before Homosapiens appeared on this planet.
There's nothing special about us. We are average sized land mammals. We think... So what?

How do you know that it’s not accurate? Guess you’ll find out when you die
