*is it possible for someone in heaven to be bored?

Of all your questions of Heaven just picture perfection in your mind. Once you are saved all your sins are forgiven, or theres no going back, nothing is hidden from God. Pets lack and a soul and therefore lack the provision to ascend to heaven. We will be naked IMO, The perfect bodies that will be created for us will want us to show them off. :D: I'd say there will be whatever you want to do in Heaven, but economy no, that just creates social levels and therefore creates problems. And as long as your saved don't worry about Hell or Hades, just look toward Heaven and learn about God.

People are reluctant to answer this post because either they do not have an answer for all your questions or because they don't have the time to answer them all.
If you really want answers, I would suggest that you break it down to two or three questions per post.
Just a suggestion.

Most of those are worthy of separate thread. Most have already been discussed in detail.
I would suggest using the spiffy Search function to find your answers to some of them, Aveticus.
Ill take a quick swing at them as for the heck of it...
*Will we actually hear a "trumpet" sound when the rapture happens? if so does everyone hear it or does only those who are being taken hear it?
Yes. Just those being Raptured.
*is it possible for someone in heaven to be bored?
Unlikely
*is it possible to sin in heaven like besides the rejecting god sin.
Probably, but you would be 'corrected' right away.
*once your saved and you repented against your sins but end up sinning again do u just keep repenting and trying not to sin or are you doomed and go to hell for lieing to god?
Repentence is 'turning away from sin'. Its an active process, and that means you keep doing it every time you 'fall down'.
*are there 3 levels of heaven cus i heard that there is from around..
I think that is a Mormon teaching, though there is some Scriptural support for it.
*if someone unsaved dies do they go straight to hell or do they go to "hades" intill the great judgement
That issue is too complex to answer simply.
*do pets go to heaven or any place? or they just rot and thats it?
Scripture neither clearly confirms nor clearly denies 'pets going to Heaven'. Personally, I doubt it.
*will we be naked in heaven? or will we were cloths and if so what you think we will were?
White Robes
*will there be a ecoonemy or trading in heaven? or jobs?
There will be jobs. No payment though. You will be completely satisfied in your work, and wont need money for anything.
*if people go to hades when they die unsaved does that mean right now hell has no one in it?
That issue is too complex to answer simply.

Here's my take on it:
*Will we actually hear a "trumpet" sound when the rapture happens? if so does everyone hear it or does only those who are being taken hear it?
Possibly. There's no way to know for sure, but it's a good topic of conversation.
*is it possible for someone in heaven to be bored?
NO! Heaven is heaven because of the Lord, who is infinite. You can't get bored of infinity.
*is it possible to sin in heaven like besides the rejecting god sin.
One reason why we look forward to the redemption of our bodies is that it will free us from this "body of death," and from the sin that dwells within (Romans 7). No more flesh = No more sin
*once your saved and you repented against your sins but end up sinning again do u just keep repenting and trying not to sin or are you doomed and go to hell for lieing to god?
Repentance does not mean promising never to sin again. Repentance means changing your mind. If you repent and continue to sin (which everybody does) you don't need to repent again, because you haven't changed your mind back to the way it was before you were saved! You still agree with God that sin is a problem, though you struggle with it. Remember that the basis of your salvation is the finished work of Christ, and that you're sealed with the Holy Spirit unto eternal life. "My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One." (1 John 2:1)
*are there 3 levels of heaven cus i heard that there is from around..
Paul talked about being caught up to the "third heaven," so obviously there must exist a first and a second heaven. My understanding is that the term "third heaven" is used to distinguish the location of God's throne from other uses of heaven (the sky and the universe, "the heavens"). Perhaps the upper reaches of the Earth's atmosphere is considered the first heaven, and the entire universe is considered the second heaven, though Scripture does not use these terms as such.
*if someone unsaved dies do they go straight to hell or do they go to "hades" intill the great judgement
At the great white throne judgment in Rev 20, the unsaved are judged according to their works (just what many of them were asking for). Afterwards they are thrown into the lake of fire. The English word "hell" is used ambiguously to refer to the place of torment for unbelievers, so in that sense unsaved people are already in hell. However, the lake of fire is their eternal abode, and they must first pass through the great white throne judgment. In the meantime, they, like the rich man in Luke 16, are in Hades/Sheol in torment awaiting their judgment. One could say that Hades is hell, and that hell will be moved to the lake of fire after the judgment.
*do pets go to heaven or any place? or they just rot and thats it?
They rot, but I'm sure their will be much better animals on the new earth, so don't get too upset.
*will we be naked in heaven? or will we were cloths and if so what you think we will were?
Adam and Eve were given clothes to cover their nakedness after the Fall. The fact that we all wear clothes today reminds us of the fallen nature we inherited from Adam. Resurrection bodies will be without sin, so there will be no shame that needs covering.
*will there be a ecoonemy or trading in heaven? or jobs?
Difficult to imagine, but there probably will be some kind of work by which to glorify God. I don't know about an economy.
*if people go to hades when they die unsaved does that mean right now hell has no one in it?
If by hell you mean the lake of fire, then yes, it's empty. The Beast and the False Prophet will have it to themselves for 1000 years, then Satan will join them, followed by the remainder of unbelievers.
