What do we do in eternity?

[WarriorAngel]

I was referring to the authority he gave angels. In a sinless world, their leadership was merely to lead worship, or other activities?

Did what I say make sense?

We are give eternal life,
liver forever with God.
Will we feel boring?
What will God ask us to do to spend our time?

We are made in the likeness and image of God, to commune with God. Humans will have union with God to such a degree that we participate in God's divine nature (His energies). It is not possible to be bored in this scenario. Your time will be spent worshipping God.

If you could, please refer me to which post you are asking about.
That angels lead?

If i were to guess, we need to remove all things we know about earthly knowledge.
There won't be anyone putting in lines or forcing us to do things.

1. We'll have perfect knowledge.
2. We will all feel the love and no one shall envy another of the love they feel.
3. We shall just know, feel and do all things perfectly.

But the link I provided is an excellent source of info on angels.

Can I sleep in Heaven?

You wont need to sleep to re-energize.
Your being wont be laden by the heaviness of the life you are living.
Sleep was given to man because the flesh is heavy on earth.
It takes a toll from toil.

Erase everything you know on earth.
Its not like that in Heaven.

On the special moments bit, I recall what CS Lewis had to say; something about how if we told a small boy what sex is like he might screw up his face and ask "can you eat chocolate while you're doing it?", and how in the same way we can't really comprehend what a special relationship that's not consummated in that way might be like, so we feel a bit sad about it all.
A quiet cigar and whisky, looking out on the river, that would indeed be a nice thing.

Except Lewis's analogy fails because many adults continue to enjoy chocolate alongside sex.

The way some people describe Heaven, sleep's the only escape I have left.

Otherwise, eternal conscious boredom.

If the only image a person has of heaven involves sitting on a cloud playing a golden harp and singing praises for all eternity then preference for death is understandable..

On the other hand, bearing in mind that much of the prohibition and inhibition surrounding relationship in this fallen world is a measure against sin, perhaps we will find that the analogy does not fail on these grounds after all.

Basking in love which has no mere words for the entire human race - is far from boring.
Its like being a sponge and mirror.
God's love has no measurement on earth. None.
However; it's so profound and so rapturous that for one to receive they cannot contain it... and it pours out to all others.
Heaven is soaking up and giving out that love.
We worship God every single second in that love by thanking Him and being filled with wonder and awe at how magnificent it is.
There is no pain... just a fullness of absolute and complete 100% love.
We say we love - but humans do not even comprehend this fullness.

The beauty in Heaven is secondary.
Its being filled with rapture and complete peace that makes it beyond words.

We have to get thru the crap of our separation from Him...and remaining faithful.
And pushing forward even when we are tempted to disbelieve or give up.

Boredom doesnt exist.
