In many ways, i agree, i cant wait...but i am saddened by some things, such as the Gospel teaching that we will have a new heavenly body, and I would like to think we will be reunited with loved ones in heaven, but there is no mention made of this by Jesus, even though it is always a comfort used by ministers to breaved people. I couldnt face an eternity without the thought I could be reunited to the woman I love with all my heart

Just scary to think WHERE our afterlife will be. Looking at all of my friends, I'm thinking we are going to be a tad on the "warm" side come judgement day. You guys wanna meet over by the second fire from the left? You know.....where they store the brimstone. :)

I seen  your answer, & said to myself, "that sure looks familiar" then seen you gave me credit, it's okay.\n\nIn the coming new paradise nothing will hurt or destroy. There will be perfect peace. All people will be healthy and happy. It will be just as God wanted it to be at the beginning. \n\nGod promises that he will give people who love him the very things that Adam and Eve lost.\n\nDuring Jesus’ Thousand Year Reign, faithful humans will work to turn the whole earth into a paradise. (Luke 23:43) Also, millions of dead ones will be resurrected to human life on the earth. (Acts 24:15) If they do what God requires of them, they will continue to live on earth forever. If not, they will be destroyed forever.\n\nLIFE IN THE RESTORED PARADISE\n\nSickness, old age, and death will no longer exist. \n\n“God himself will be with [mankind]. 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.”—Revelation 21:3, 4.\nCrime, violence, and wickedness will be gone forever. \n\n“As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.” —Proverbs 2:22.\n\nPeace will prevail earth wide.\n\n“The righteous one will sprout, and the abundance of peace until the moon is no more.”—Psalm 72:7.\n\nHousing will be secure and work satisfying.  Isaiah 65:21-23. \n\nHealthful food will be available in abundance.  “The earth itself will certainly give its produce; God, our God, will bless us.”—Psalm 67:6.\n\nEverlasting life on a paradise earth will be delightful. “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) “The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron.”—Isaiah 35:1.\n\nAnd "rockchick13" I would imagine you will be able to snowboard because the Scriptures tells us the "four seasons" will exist in Pardise.

The heavens as in what you see above you is what will be changed. As to eternal life God declares in His Word a number of reasons we would never be disappointed: \nPsalm 16:11\nYou will show me the path of life;In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.\nAs to eternal life you misunderstand that it is more than time it is quality. It is to know and enjoy Him who has made all the things we like now, how much more the reward to come.\nJohn 17:3\nAnd this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.\nWe look forward to a time when there will be no more pain, no more tears, all things will be made new.

I really do believe it is just a state of mind. If there is a hell, I can't imagine that there are really red devils with horns and pointy little sticks. If there is a heaven, I don't think it is some "golden city" in the sky...I have a feeling (note it is just my instinct, no biblical or other religious portrayal) that when we die, we are connected to a new form of life that will possibly be more vivid and advanced than our present form. I believe it will be our "higher self" and we will have more capabilities than we can possibly imagine here on Earth. But, who really knows....

did it ever occur to anyone that what they believe will happen to them? i mean, if an atheist thinks that when they die, that's it, then that is probably what will happen to them. i'm just saying, if i die believing i'm gonna be a frog in my next life, it's MY belief, so it will be MY idea of the afterlife or heaven. it's the same as christians interpritation of heaven. some people think it's gonna be angels in diapers playing harps others think it's gonna be one big kegger...it's all depending on what you believe.

I do not believe that heaven exists as a place that you go after you die.  I think that Heaven is a myth based on a desparate desire for people to live forever, like gods, which is part of almost every religion and has been for thousands of years.  \n\nThere is nothing new about wanting eternal life and a semblance of omnicience.  Power and knowledge are the two things that humans want more than anything, so it makes sense taht we would create a myth which involves us living forever and gaining a deep understanding of the universe after we die.

good thinking\nbut no\nheavens no planet it just cant be\nwell people from ages have tried to imagine how heaven would be and have come come up with their own versions which we nowadays call myths\nwell i think its  stupid to imagine how heaven would be \ni believe whats more important is whether you will be in heaven or  not when you die\nand as far as iam concerned the only way one can get to heaven is through jesus\nso believe in jesus and trust in him and heaven will be yours for free

I think if I would ever GO to Heaven that I would not want to COME BACK!\n\nThere is a really cool story written by Mark Twain...something about Capt. Stromfield...don't know the name.  Basically this man dies, goes to "heaven," and sees all these strange creatures.  They try to communicate but have a hard time.  He asks where his harp, wings, and halo are.  Soon he realizes he is in the wrong place, and the "door greeters" congratulate him - he has figured out that there couldn't be just ONE heaven to suit everyone - we make our own "Heaven."\n\nI don't know about making our own heaven, but it makes you think... will all souls find the same joy in the same heaven?  Hmmmm....

Paul said it would be unlawful to describe what he saw and that human words would not do it justice. However, from my studies, I can tell you that Heaven will have the following qualities.\n\nNo concept of time - Boredom no longer exists and spending years prostrate in thanksgiving will not phase us.\n\nGold is used as tar for paving the roads.\n\nWe will know all things for we will have the mind of Christ.\n\nWe will see the original Tabernacle and Ark (throne of God)\n\nWe will judge angels.\n\nOur color palette will not be limited to 7 colors.\n\nMusic will not be limited to 7 notes.\n\nWe will see and exist in more dimensions than 3 or 4\n\nGod will wipe away every tear from our eye.

Very Interesting.\n\nBut then again, that "heaven" cannot be felt, cannot be appreciated fully because we do not know what is good or bad. It's more like nothingness, more like emptiness without anything feelings or choice.\n\nLet's look at another perspective of "Heaven". The fulfilling heaven. Glorious Heaven. Heaven which only fits as the dwelling place of God. It will be with the knowing and realization of all the worst of things like jealousy, fear, crime, destroying relationships, dishonor, distrust, trashing earth, falsehood and everything evil...etc BUT we were lifted from all these, protected, purified, kept close to the One we trust most and more, we were lavish with happiness and quality richness. (may not necessarily be material richness). Heaven is actually a state of God's Majesty.\nFollowing this definition, to be in Heaven simply means to be in God.\n\nIt's like why don't God make everybody love Him. Why give everyone free will to choose to love him or to go against.\n\nI believe to get a genuine love can only come with free will to choose. Only with that comes genuine love.\n\nI cannot imagine how good can it be if there is no free will and God just made everyone love Him automatically.\n\nSo, what do you think? Is this a better Heaven?

The only death experience i will be having is, When i die and go to Heaven. It will be so much better there. Home with my Lord.

Heaven was created by God, it is a very real place and exist at this very moment.\n we are told that there will be no more sorrow, no more tears no more pain in heaven, to me then, if a loved one of ours didn't get to heaven, then we would remember them no more,because if they aren't in heaven then they are in hell, that would cause us great grief, and sorrow and pain.

I imagine it will be exactly like before I was born, complete non-existence. :)

I believe that there is no answer to that question because it refers to what lies ahead for us in eternity. There is much in heaven that is waiting for us to experience and we don't know what it will be. I believe that there is not one person who can dogmatically say what language will be spoken in heaven. God's Word gives no reference to that.
