It will be Paradise! ...a combination of the Garden of Eden with the Law of God (i.e. the Torah) in His Heavenly Kingdom. Hallelujah!

I believe there is a Heaven and a Hell.  Those who accepted the Lord will live eternity, those who didn't perish in the fires.

There is no Heaven.  If there were a Heaven, I'd have to know more about it to decide whether I'd want to be there.  Yes, if it existed, it might suck.  What would be the purpose of a Heaven anyway, except as a bribe by the churches?  Surely, no god is in need of little humans worshipping him.

Well, Heaven in Muslim context is something which cannot be described, because it is entirely a different creation. This is reflected in the following verse\n"Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them - as a reward for their (good) deeds." Quran 32:17.\n\nSince there is no means to describe heaven, God uses similtitude of things that people likes in this world to describe heaven.\n"A similitude of the Garden which is promised unto those who keep their duty (to Allah): Underneath it rivers flow; its food is everlasting, and its shade; " Quran 13: 35. \n\nIn earth, sex has got a specific purpose other than enjoyment, that is procreation. There is no need of procreation in heaven so enjoyment there would not be similar to that in earth. There are verses that suggest that will be no weariness in heaven\n\n"And they will say: "Praise be to God, Who has removed from us (all) sorrow: for our Lord is indeed Oft-Forgiving Ready to appreciate (service)\n  Who has, out of His Bounty, settled us in a Home that will last: no toil nor sense of weariness shall touch us therein." Quran 35:35\n\nYou may be interested in this answer also http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013106005

The bible doesn't answer this one.  I personally don't think they will stay as babies in heaven just as people who die old will not be old.  the bible says we will be given a new body and I would imagine it will be a body that can voluntarily be able to worship God etc.\n\nMy daughter died at a few weeks old and I always imagine her as a beautiful young woman in heaven.  \n\nThis is one of those questions that will be answered when we get there!

No human ever considered living in heaven until Jesus mentioned that yet-future possibility just hours before he was impaled.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that exactly 144,000 humans will join Christ Jesus as kings and priests to administer God's Kingdom (which will soon replace all earthly governments) after Armageddon.\n(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite\n(Revelation 14:1) Lamb [Jesus] standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand\n(Revelation 20:6) they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him\n\nOver whom will they rule? Over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.\n(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”\n(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.\n\nUntil that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.\n(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all\n(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]\n(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire\n\nAlmighty Jehovah God selects those few who have the heavenly calling from among godfearing worshippers, including many who were never Jehovah's Witnesses. Today, each true worshipper "feels" his own hope and each person's hope remains unquestioned by his fellow Christians. Still the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%*) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.\n(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]\n(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]\n\nInterestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.\n(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'\n(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'\n(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'\n(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'\n(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20001001/article_02.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/w/2003/11/15/article_02.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20031115/article_02.htm

I always assumed Heaven was like Earth but without the parts that, you know, suck.\n\nSo I'm assuming that implies a lot of guilt free disease free sex.

Heaven, I believe will be complete and utter joy in being in complete unison with God. I do not wonder what will be there other than God. I think we will all be worshipping and loving Him back with the love He gives us. I think I will love my family and friends and spouse that is there as much as I would love anyone else. We will all be a part of God's family living in His eternal love. It is beyond words.\n\nBut I do think that the beauty in this world has been placed by God to prepare us for the uncomparable beauty of Heaven. So I like your suggestions of flowers, butterflys, bug, colors, weather, animals, and the rest. I think these things are pieces of beauty that prepare us for Heaven.\n\nI am Christian and I really like the verse in Revelations that speaks of these four special angels that all they do every moment is worship the Lord singing out holy holy holy is the Lord"\n\nI think that is what we'll be doing. Singing Gloria.

I believe that since heaven will far exceed our expectations and wildest dreams we will have no problem whatsoever identifying people and loved ones in heaven. I think it'll be as if we knew them all our lives.

I think there's a lot to be said for the ideas - in books like Dallas Willard's "Divine Conspiracy" and NT Wright's new one "Simply Christian" that we will have a job to do in the afterlife.\n\nIn other words, I think we will be, in some sense, responsible for the new creation. I'm thinking, in terms of Bible references, of places where Jesus tells the parable of the talents, or where Paul talks about people getting in "as through fire." \n\nNT Wright is very interesting to read in this regard. He points out that many of the references to the afterlife hint at us being brought back to a renewed earth, with the New Jerusalem almost being lowered down to this earth - this renewed creation. It sounds weird to you, I am sure, if you are used to thinking of the afterlife as our soul going up to Heaven. But if you read the Bible with this new way of looking at it, so much makes sense.\n\nSo, I think that, based on what we do here, how long we are Christians and what we do with that time we are given, we will have more or less responsibility for God's creation after death. Remember, Jesus' woe sayings - he hinted that it works that way in Hell, as well. He basically hints that there are layers, or degrees of both punishment and reward. That's how I see it.

The Bible tells us that Heaven is like Paradise. There will be no problems, worry, tears, or heartache. There will be mansions for all and streets of gold and happiness everywhere!!!!!

Heaven is that moment when you realize that your life will turn out okay.  Heaven is being able to learn from your mistakes and not regret how you might have been able to do things differently.  Heaven is knowing that no matter who is right and who is wrong, the truth of faith cannot be changed.  And if you believe in one thing and find out you were wrong, there is little you can do about it.  Heaven is a state of mind, a dream, a hope that keeps us going when we feel like giving up.  Heaven is what we want it to be, solice and peace.\nHell is not loving who you are inside.  Hell is doubting your faith.  Hell is having to defend your ideals to society.  Hell is heartache.  Hell is inner fear and uncertainty.  Hell is not believing in yourself.  Hell is also a state of mind, a nightmare, a darkness that creeps into our minds and can consume us.  Hell is mental torment.  Hell is spending a life worrying about something you cannot change or dreading something that is already done.\nIn order to ever have peace in any sort of "afterlife" you must first be able to find peace within yourself.  When you find that, Heaven is not far away.
