Where're your brother Ed n Eddy...hihihihi hehehe hahaha
ok 1st of all you need to know that you can talk about heaven and leave out eternity and vice versa.
When you talk about christianity,Christ is always the foundation hence the word christians.
My bible in the book of John Tells me that .... 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
still John.....
5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Am not sure what verse it is but Jesus says that "am the way the truth and the life..no one goes to the father except through me.
The above referrences clearly tell us that there is eternity in Christ,without whom there will be no life.
It is by believing in him that we(believing christians) recieve eternity
Conclusion...to picture the absence of eternity in heaven is to deny the ressurection of christ and his victory over satan.
The question of... "If there was no eternal life in heaven" is dark thinking and means that you despise those who worship the God. Without God you are vacum

Teeejay.....relax. Edd is asking a simple question.
Edd, if there was no eternal life in heaven, then christianity would not be worth it because it is based on the concept of eternal life.

I suppose you meant everybody call you a no good goon.

In know stupak,but you have to know that his question is sarcastic and also full of so many other questions.
>Edd, if there was no eternal life in
>heaven, then christianity would not be
>worth it because it is based on the
>concept of eternal life.
of course,looking at the question blindly my conclusion will resemble your observation.Thus an FAQ.
Let me ask you something..if he is not disturbed by christainity and eternity how did he arrive at the question.....???????!!!!!

Read this and understand
"A fool for God"
One who worships no god created himself
One who worships a false god created him
One who worships the true God knows the creator
One who created himself will destroy himself
One who creats his own god dies with him
One who was created by God will never die
A god who created no man can save no man
A god who man created will deceive some men
God who created all men can save all men
A fool says in his heart there is no God
A doubter says to himself God is too far
A believer says to all others I see God
by Muhubiri
I believe you know where you stand and where you belong now after reading this poem.
Be blessed

It seems that you are trying to convince yourself that there is no God because you need an excuse to avoid the trappings and sufferings that come with being a christian in todays world. My friend do not be in a hurry to make that decision. I sense some fatalism. Do you think and worry that you might go to hell once you die and thus feel pressure to get "saved "as some form of insurance? Well, i cant really comment on christianity, me being the occasional church goer that i am..but looking at your question, i dont even need to be a deep christian to see your concern.
My advise to you is make the decision to be a christian because you want to make a difference to your life not because of fear of death and the afterlife.
I hope i have helped........ for mine was a shot in the dark.....

First and foremost there is an eternal life in heaven, and brother I can't wait to get there! But HYPATHETICALLY speaking if there wasn't...My christian walk with my saviour would still be worth every moment. See when one gets saved there's a whole lot of benefits with just that simple move. It's a wonderful process to be in greater communion with my creator everyday. And when I need something, i just go to Him in prayer and it's all done. just like that. When I'm depressed He makes me Happy by leading me to His word and His promises....In short, If there was no heaven (and believe me there is one), my life would still be worthwhile coz of All things My God continues to do in my daily life.
