"Sin, suffering and DEATH will end". Elderly persons die peacefully and go to heaven. What is wrong or bad about that?

Otherwise if there was no death the world would become overpopulated.

    Who are you talking to?  With?  At?

    who said anything was bad about that nice story.  There are reasons that your story is not perfect life on earth.  Earth is not heaven.

    Earth will be like heaven after Jesus returns.  'The lion will eat grass like the bull (instead of zebras)'
    You don't want overpopulation do you?

    It’s a nice, well-worn fantasy. Hope to the hopeless, comfort to the desperate, all of that. Especially suggestions that the animals will change their nature and complete peace and harmony will abound as we live forever. The utopian ideal. Poetic. 

    Sadly, it is but a wishful product of human imagination. Forever is a term for which the real meaning eludes most people’s grasp.

    I disagree that the world would become overpopulated.
    If there were no death ... odds are that birth rates would be extremely low.  
    We see that happen when infant mortality is low, and in areas where there is easy access to healthcare and medicines.
