There is more between heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your \nphilosophy... and if so what could he have meant?  give examples , no cliches please.  ie: et, warestuff, ghosts, you know...

hamlet was insane, so it's hard to know if he really saw the ghosts or not. as nietzsche said: "always there is a drop of madness in love, yet always there is a drop of reason in madness." maybe the insane see what the rest of us won't.

May be faith and belief.  But yours is a really difficult question, even theologists have to scratch their heads.  We dont need fictions likd Davince Code.  But real answers to your sincere queries like this one.

I agree.  I have a multi-handicapped daughter who was transported to heaven in a dream.  She saw lions and lambs.  children,  Bright blue sky (but no sun) all kinds of trees growing side by side.  and a Man, walking with her.  yea,  i believe that this is a vision of heaven.

in a way yes, in the sense that it says theres no religion, no heaven, so join us (perhaps in commusnism), i agree on you with that, but i think is a song that was written to make us this think about what the world could be like. Thank you for that insight though, i never thought about the song in that way!

The misinterpretation has to do with the word judgment.  Typically, it is thought that this will mean that many will be condemened.  But the only judgment of love is innocence.  This misunderstanding is brought about by those who do believe in judgment and condemnation.  That is what they understand and therefore project onto everything else and then assume that the mind of God is like their own.  You are right, a loving God would not do this.

The part with the angels is very true. The ending will be as amazing as it says, but some parts such as the Beasts (The ones John saw come out of the water) represent different counties that are still here today. It is literal yet very symbolic. Pray to GOD for understanding and read it again sometime. It should then become very clear to you.

Something is really wrong with the heaven and hell teaching.\nAccording to Psalm 115:16, has God provided earth, or heaven for mankind?\nAccording to Psalm 37:29, where are we suppose to spend our eternity?\nReasoning:\nGod said Adam would lose the gift of life if he ate of the forbidden fruit.\nHe ate, he died.\nIF he never ate of it, if he never touched it ....where would he be today?\nOur future is on a cleansed earth.\nThat is what God's original purpose is .....and nothing will change his mind.

It is very sad. Anyone who does a good amount of reading on ethics will know better. Christians tend to not read good books. They just accept the beliefs they were raised with and stick to them out of loyalty, fear, and familiarity. A lot of people don't like to think that what their parents taught them was wrong. A lot of people also have a very hard time dealing with mortality without a belief in a Heaven and benevolent god waiting for them. The truth is, we really just do not know what happens. There could be a deeper purpose to our being here. There could of been an intelligence behind what is. I would never say there definitely is or is not. On the same token though I can see the works or man from a mile away. The Bible wreaks of man, and all his fears. It's far too obvious that a god had nothing to do with what's in that book. I can can spot it just like I can spot the hand writing of a three year old. It's a shame others have such a hard time seeing this. I think this goes beyond their intelligence or lack thereof. It comes from a much deeper emotional issue. To lose faith in God would be akin to losing meaning to everything and that would leave them horribly broken and lost. It's too bad they can't see the other alternatives. One can lead a very spiritual life without placing belief in ridiculous claims.

Well friend,\nI am a christian.\nAnd this is what that verse means to me.\n\nThe main problem with christians is that they always like to read such verses from a worldy perspective ignoring the spiritual aspect of it.\n\nLook at the begining it mentions of future and hope. Thats what we should be aiming for NOT earthly fortunes or satisfactions.\n\nSeeking the Lord comes with calling upon our Lord as well as praying to Him NOT just sitting around and trying to "argue" out things in your mind. Honesty is important here.\n\nNow consider, the phrase...\n"will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile."\n\nSome people like to take the that and say, Hey, God will bless me!!\nIt is true but does it mention necessarily EARTHLY blessings? No. I believe its more spiritual blessings that you will inherit one day in the afterlife. For the spiritual blessings are eternal as opposed to the temporary blessings on earth.\n\nWell, dont seek after earthly things as others do, these are all vanity.\n\nAs for me,\n"Jesus is enough"\nNothing else I want.\n\nRegards

I think that this will be a reality...but not now. There's too much sin and hate in the world. But in heaven...it will be a reality. When there is a new heaven and a new earth...it will be a reality...because there will not be any more sin.\n\nPraise God for His Promise.

I think it is.   I mean it's because.   Hmmm???   Just give me a minute to think.    \n\nSo if space and time are    Just another second and I'll get this.\n\nOkay...so Heaven represents being with god, so then in order to find God we would not be looking for a location, but some sort of experience that is beyond space and time???\n\nI don't know...I give up.\nGood question!

I haven't seen God work in my dreams, I have experience \nand seen His work happen in my life.In the Bible it says that nobody knows when the world will come to an end,not even His angels know.(Mt.24;36)Let pray that this experience will bring you closer to God,and give you the faith to spread his good Word.

I am familiar with him, and I studied his plays.  \n\nThe poem was new to me, but it is short so I have an inkling what Mr. Williams may have been thinking.\n\nSome people believe that a soul that has never been born resides is a perfect place, perhaps even Heaven.  The Heavenly Grass is TWs metaphor for that place.  I think he mentions both day and night in the first half to show that he had completed a "cycle."  That he was ready to be born.  \n\nAnother possibility is the Heavenly Grass is his mother's womb.  He completed the cycle of growing, and then he was ready to be born.\n\nSo in the next part is his birth, and then he travels the earth.\n\nAt the end he admits that he misses what was before.  Whether it is Heaven or his mother's womb, it was a simpler and safer time for him.  He repeats himself for emphasis.

I am unsure about the Kabbalists beliefs in this sorry\nbut as a spiritualist medium i have to say that i disagree with the theory that some dont go to the light or that they have unfinished buisness\nwhat people get confused with is ghosts ... they are not spirit , they are simply energy that has remained\nwhen we die we are met by spirit , we would have no reason or want to cling to this life in my opinion xx

You compare what you think Jesus is telling to Scripture.  Does what he said in your dream jive with the rest of the Bible?  That is the best way to know.

I've always been of the opinion that Jesus's story and sacrifice are far more poignant if he doesn't rise from the dead to become Lord of the Earth.  In the same way, following Jesus's commandments without the expectation of a reward in heaven, but rather because they are good and worthy in their own right, seems much more truly Christian.

I have have many experiences like this, it's difficult to focus on one or two. I really wish I had more time to think about these things in the midst of a busy life, so thank you for asking this question.\n\nI had a near death experience, which made me more sure that there is something there after death. I saw a light, and found myself travelling towards it, and could hear the voices of loved ones who had died. Just as I seemed to arrive at a beautiful garden, it was as if I started travelling rapidly back again to the here and now - it wasn't my time yet.\n\nMeditation is a spiritual experience for me. So it prayer, although I don't belong to any organised religious group. And sometimes just walking in a beautiful place, or even sitting for a few minutes in a sunny garden. Or looking into the eyes of someone you love. Or sometimes a dream will take you to a spiritual place.I believe these are all spiritual experiences and they are available to us all, whenever we are open to them.
