AT WHAT AGE WOULD PEOPLE IN HEAVEN BE AT????
Blogsville peeps make una no vex, I know it's been a long time since I last blogged. School has been whooping my butt seriously, so that aspect of my life has kept me very busy.
So I and my good friends were watching this movie "The lovely bones". The movie features Matt Damon as a father who's daughter got killed and he's obsessed with finding out who killed her. Anywayz his daughter who was 14 died and her soul was wondering around, so during the movie I and my friend Simon noticed that as every other human being grew older, the soul of the daughter remained her normal age without aging or anything.
I then wondered aloud, whether people don't age in heaven and I left it at that. My friend Simon however pursued it, and he started asking rapid questions.
Questions like : If you die and go to heaven, will you remain the same age as you were in heaven? For example, lets say I died @ the age of 20, will I still remain 20 years old in heaven? What about little babies who die? There are a lot of one, two, three year olds who were just learning how to crawl when they died, does that mean that they will remain that small in heaven? Because the thought of having all them toddlers crawling around heaven on that road supposedly paved with gold is super hilarious.
Moreover, if indeed there are babies roaming heaven, whereforth shalt their nannies cometh from?
One of my friends told me that in her opinion, the babies will turn into angels when they reach heaven. I asked her how come all humans don't just turn into angels? Why should it only be the babies who get the chance to turn into angels? Me to I can like to have wings and fly around like an angel to nah.
But in all seriousness, lets say you died an 80 year old man or woman would you still have the physical nature of an 80 year old in heaven? And lets say everybody in heaven who was old gets to be young, at what age would they choose for them to return to? 20? 30? And can you imagine a family who went to heaven, and the son is 20, the father now becomes 20, the mother is 20, infact everybody in the family becomes 20. That would be very awkward innit?
So that's why I asked, at what age would people who are in heaven be at?
Seeing as summer is now upon us, I will begin to blog more regularly. I got a new apartment and am moved in and settled already so everything is dandy. Lately, I've come across somepeople who are convinced and I mean convinced that I worship the devil. Like seriously, as per they'll tell me that they can't be friends with me because they think I worship the devil. It takes all my strength not to laugh my head off. It is what it is sha, you can't please everybody. Am about to go do blog rounds

HEAVEN IS GOING TO BE SO BORING!!!
So I take a Death, Dying and Religion class in school and yesterday my Professor assigned a Funeral paper. We are suppose to plan our own death and write our own memorial service. Can you imagine? Honestly I loved the idea, but a lot of people in class especially the females were flipping out. One girl was crying and said I am only 19, I can't imagine dying in the next 6 months. I was laughing out loud throughout the whole class, because a whole lot of people seriously could deal with the reality of "death" I wanted to take her by her arm and shake her and let her know, "You are going to die, like die, like you will be deader than dead. You will cease to EXIST. Accept it and Believe it". But anyhoo I digress...
So in the olden days when I was still living in darkness I wanted to go to heaven just so I could avoid hell and it's extreme hotness but right now the boredom of heaven seems worse compared to the "hotness" in heaven. But miss ttolla reminded me about this topic yesterday, honestly yall what are we going to be doing in heaven for an eternity? Praising and Worshipping God for eternity? It's almost as ridiculous as the muslim one of 70 virgins, honestly yall lets think about this for a second. So as a good christian, you die, you go to heaven, judgement day comes and you pass blah blah blah. Then you go to sleep, you wake up then you go worshipping the almighty, maybe they'll assign ttolla since she's a newbie to be in charge of "cleaning the drums" and maybe they'll assign honey91 to be in the choir etc. My point is this, what kind of "afterlife" will this be? Can you imagine waking up everyday to "praise and worship"? Am even going to assume that we will be allowed to "sleep", but who knows we might not be allowed to sleep, the almighty might require his daily dose of "praise and worship" 24/7.
I've always had this theory about why Devil rebelled against God. Lucifer/Devil was known as the choir leader right? He had the most beautiful voice, so it would stand to reason that maybe he got tired of singing for the almighty everyday and managed to persuade 1/3 of the disgruntled angels in heaven to rebel with him. Because think about it, what kind of charisma/charm could lucifer have possessed that he managed to persuade a whole "1/3" of all angels in heaven? It stands to reason that there must have been something more that motivated the angels to follow Lucifer and I believe that it was probably the need to stop "praising and worshipping" a God for eternity. Honestly we need to think about this, if indeed there is a heaven and there is a hell. Then do we seriously want to spend an eternity praising and worshipping God? I mean even here on earth, a whole lot of us can't stand to be in church past 4 hours or we begin to melt.
As for hell, how is it possible to burn for eternity? Am assuming that we wouldn't be getting any sleep while in hell so that would mean we would be walking around "burning"? Do you know how many people would be in hell by now? Almost 50 billion human beings since the creation of earth, and you mean to tell me 50 billion people will burn for eternity? So lets say we burn for the first 1000 years, don't you guys think that after 2000 years of burning a whole lotta people would become "numb" to the burning? And lets say we don't become numb, so we just burn for eternity? And for what purpose? We humans did not ask to be created, God being all knowing knew we would fail, so what is the point of all this like honestly? "I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse". In closing, I came across this quote and it made me laugh.
"Jesus hardly made the greatest sacrifice. He knew he would be resurrected anyway." Meaning, how was Jesus death a sacrifice, if he knew that he would be resurrected three days later?? Merriam Webster's dictionary defines a sacrifice as a ": destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else b : something given up or lost.
So my point is, Jesus hardly surrendered anything for the sake of something else, he knew fully well that he would be resurrected.

IF YOU ATTEND AFRICAN/NIGERIAN CHURCHES YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING HEAVEN ARE VERY SLIM!!
In my humble opinion, if you frequent Nigerian/African churches on a regularly basis, your chances of ever entering heaven talk less of "smelling" those pearly gates are very slim. Honestly most of you who attend Nigerian/African churches know what I am saying is true. How many instances has church been dismissed, and immediately people step outside the church door. The gossipping starts, this person talks about the pastor, the other person talks about the pastor's wife, another person talks about the new car Pastor has started driving. When done gossipping about the pastor, most members start gosspping about other members. "OMG, did you see how short Sister Nneka's skirt was today? And she sings in the choir o, why is she shaking her booty for the pastor to see?" "Did you know I saw Brother Ola at the club yesterday acting a fool, he was grinding and grooving with this prostitute or that prostitute".
And with that same mentality, those same members will thank their God and head to their homes. I have witnessed this same thing time and time again, we africans are notorious for being "gossipers of the highest degree". We will gossip about anything, and am sorry to say most of the gossipping take place in our churches. If you honestly disagree with me, visit any Nigerian/African church and you will see what I am talking about. Pastors to are not even exempt from the gossipping, na their own worse pass. And please can somebody tell me why in most Nigerian Churches you go to, the church must always have an offering for "Building Fund"? They might have a huge ass building for the church, but they'll still want to build a bigger one? Na wa o.
Anywayz I will leave you all with this movie, about the arizona preacher praying for Barack Obama to die.
