Please can some other Christians besides Amos get on this thread! I can't understand a thing he says!

Without challenges (problems) to solve there will be nothing to do. No real reason to live. I would be forced to commit suicide if I ended up in a place like the Bibical Heaven. And if I couldn't die...wouldn't that make it hell?

Well the purpose in life for Christians is to love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength and to love their neighbours as themselves. This can still be done in heaven (or the New Earth).
You don't have to worry about getting bored in heaven though, since I don't think you're a Christian. (and neither am I)
BTW, about immortal people seeking death:
<a href="http://bible.gospelcom.net/cgi-bin/bible?passage=Revelations+9%3A6&version=NIV&showfn =yes&showxref=yes&language=english" target="_blank">Revelation 9:6</a>
Since "Death" was killed (or banished or something) in Revelations, you can't kill yourself.

Great addition to my short list of questions regarding heaven! I agree: much as we humans claim to hate "problems," if we had none, what fun would life really be?
