no harm, no hurt, no one forced, no death.

Heaven = the earth *renewed* by God/Jesus, it will enable you to continue learning... & developing... & brothers & sisters serve :thumbsup: God & each other joyfully :clap: in :angel: peace

I guess the life in the Heaven has some similarity as that on the earth. We might feel some pressure of getting something accomplished. When you do something with a joyful mind, it does not mean no pressure. We will still need to use our mental ability, even some spiritual (and physical?) strength, to get things done.

To serve God is more than just to sing some songs.

Evidence? We can feel some of it by knowing how do angels serve God.

Someone said that we will live like kings in the Heaven.
There is only one King there.

Thank you for clarifying. :) We wont be 'kings' but there will be those who are appointed rulers AND we will judge the angels. So yeah, there is authority given to the believer in heaven (as well as on earth but its seen differently here).

I like to say that it is an unfortunate illusion. Some Christians think the Heavenly life is nothing but praising God all day long. That might be a full time job for some angels (Heavenly Choir?), but not for us. We can do better.

Agree.

And, the degree of authority we will have in the Heaven depends on ... (... what we do on the earth ! This is one of the reason that I am fighting the evolution.).
