My wife's been talking to me about heaven. Now I wonder about it––-do you think there are guns in the hereafter? Is there a heavenly range with unlimited ammo? Fluffy |
|
I don't really know them that well, I suppose it depends on if their guns were good or bad.

Quoted:
Are whose guns in heaven? haha i was waiting for this. i assume no, being man made and all. I don't know the exact wording but the Bible talks about you being a "new being" the way you were meant to be and nothing being hidden from you and such. If this is the case with all of that i assume guns would be trivial. I mean i would trade any and all guns forever to be able to fly around in space and look at planets and all that. I'm not saying thats what heaven is like, but when you compare shooting a bullet to something like that........ |

I hope so, I'd like to hang out and shoot some bowling pins with Jesus. I wouldn't even mind having to say, "Nice shot, nice shot again, nice shot again, nice shot again, nice shot, nice shot, nice shot, wow...you can really shoot Jesus!"

Heaven is personalized...whatever you want you get.
Heaven is happiness...and whatever it takes to be happy. |

I don't remember the exact quote, but I'm pretty sure the book of Browning confirms firearms and ranges in heaven.

OP, your title....
Their, They're, There... Out of three like options, you chose the wrong one. |
|
Beliefs:
A) Everyone in Heaven: Yes. Guns must exist to protect you and your family from the baddies. / The BGs need to be policed. Unless once baddies get to Heaven they're all 'good'. B) Heaven & Hell: Yes. Heaven and inhabitants must be able to defend themselves against Hell/whatev. C) Heaven as Infinite Star Trek Holideck: Yes. [answer self-evident] D) If beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy, guns are pretty much the same thing. In any possible belief system, I find the answer = Yes. |

There very well may be shooting ranges in heaven...but they will all be empty.

|
Yes. I understand the streets of heaven are guarded by United States Marines.

Sure. 1911's /thread i feel dirty. Heaven will not be filled with malfunctioning handguns. |

I think there's a better chance of hopping a ride on the UFO that's flying behind the Hale Bopp comet, than there is of getting into Heaven..
|
|
Quoted:
Um there's no murder in heaven. Um....already dead? Immortal afterlife and all that. |
|
uhhh yea.. and the best range you can dream of. unlimited ammo,
|
|
Quoted: Um there's no murder in heaven. No target shooting/plinking either? |
|
Of course there will be guns.
I recall a short story/article about a duck hunter who died, woke up in the hereafter and went duck hunting with his guide. He couldn't miss: every time he shot, a duck fell. He even tried to miss, and the ducks still fell. He turned to his guide and said something to the effect of Heaven really isn't that much fun if there's no challenge. The guide replied, "Who said you were in Heaven?" |
|
there must be, because I'll need some for my eternity of quail and deer hunting.
my pointer better be waiting for me, too. |
|
As long as JMB has been dead, I bet there are laser pew pew 1911's in Heaven

Quoted:
Are whose guns in heaven? I see I wasn't the only one thinking this. :) I don't know really. Maybe but... I imagine we'd be too awed by God to worry about it. |

I do not believe there will be such things in Heaven.
If I was truthful, I'd tell many of you that your desires for earthly things in heaven may be a sign that you don't really want to go there, and may well not go there. Or, admittedly, it may be a sign of ignorance or immaturity. I don't know. Heaven is Heaven because God is there, and more to the point, will be a neverending cycle of worship of the Risen Lamb, Jesus. Do I like to shoot? You bet. Does it sound cool on the surface to be able to shoot forever? A bit, admittedly. Do I believe that Heaven is going to be so awesome that we'll forget our earhtly passions? Yes. We'll be freed from sin, totally and forever, to worship the One who has freed us. http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Randy-Alcorn/dp/0842379428/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325686185&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Money-Possessions-Eternity-Randy-Alcorn/dp/0842353607/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325686227&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Bible-Life-Hereafter-William-Hendriksen/dp/B000L9XY6M/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325686263&sr=1-1 |

I can't imagine why we'd need them. I'd be more concerned about if there were any Martin guitars there. Oh, and German Shepherds.
I read this book over my vacation last week. It's interesting in regards to what the boy describes as spiritual warfare. If he's right, we know there are swords there and Jesus knows better than to let a four year old get his hands on one. I had an uncle who died on the table once and he said some pretty interesting things about his experience. I'm a Christian so my agenda involves believing the kid is right. My big concern is how much his parents unwittingly coached him. |

I'm not saying thats what heaven is like, but when you compare shooting a bullet to something like that........ Being able to hit the target . . . when firing the opposite direction? Might get a little old. Most likely there will be lots of things we regard as necessary here that will not have any utility there. Like the internet. |

If heaven ain't a lot like my basement, I don't want to go......
