Hi Starman

i would choose to live forever in perfect health on paradise earth. i mean, if one is disease free that itself is heavenly. our earth contains so many amazing features which none of us would have seen in its entirity. i beleive we could enjoy life on earth with perfect health. earth is something i am familar with but heaven is something i have no idea about. my final answer is living forever in perfect health on paradise earth.

I would choose live forever in a beautiful paradise on earth.. Like the person who responded above, earth has alot of features some of which we havent yet discovered.. Besides I think we were meant to live on this beautiful planet why else would their be plants, ocean, water, animals and other things to entertain us-they must have been created for a reason..
What also make me believe that we were meant to live in a forever life paradise was Adan and Eve they started off living in a paradise here on earth with forever life not in heaven.. God's purpose was for all men and women to live on earth thats why he created this paradise and place Adan and Eve and told them to produce many and to be fruitful (Genesis 1:28).. If his purpose was for us to live in heaven he wouldnt done earth..
Another bible text that makes me beleive that we were meant to live on earth is
Psalms 37:11 which says the following: "But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."
Apparently this will happen in the future and also death will disappear like Revelation 21:4 says: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Their are much more texts that you can find in your own bible that shows that we were meant to live on this earth forever and this dream will come true for those who follow what the bible tells us like Jesus said in John 17:3 "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ. " I hope this answer helps..
More texts of everlasting life on earth with no diseases are below feel free to contact me back if anything..
John 11:25, 26
Isaiah 35:5 = when god restores paradise on earth all diseases will disappear..this text proves it so..

Hasn't anyone ever watched the "Highlander" movies? Just because you'll live forever in perfect health, no one ever stated that your loved ones would... You could only lose so many people before it might begin to wear on you.
And then there is the further issue that all conditioned things are subject to the "law of diminishing returns." Anyone who has ever bought the expensive sports car is familiar with this principle. The novelty is bound to wear off sooner rather than later.
Take Heaven. Heaven is available here and now, perfect or not.

Since this isn't a choice that God gives us, and no one else could offer it, what would be the point in answering?

Although my first thought would be to live in perfect health on a paradise Earth like those above, I somehow think I would more enjoy being a spirit in heaven...

Although I guess I don't really have to be a spirit for God to call on me, I like the idea that as a spirit, God could call on me to go to the Earth on missions to help people - no matter the place or time... I could be helping some people stuck in a lion's den, or on a hijacked airliner, or on space colony Alpha 1....

Certainly! God would delegate assignments to who knows what regions of his universe or universes, or even alternate dimensions if that is indeed the case. It definitely would be a great adventure. Me? I guess I am too earth-bound minded. So I'd choose the paradise earth option.

Since there is no choice in this - humans did not sign up for option A or option B, the question seems redundant. We all die - death is the great equalizer. Where we spend eternity is something we have a choice in. My choice is Heaven, hopefully the Lord will agree when that time comes.
