I believe there are spirits around, both good and bad.  One group of spirits are messengers/angels of God, and the other group consists of the evil demons.  That is why the Lord told us to test the spirits whether they are from Him or not.  I have personally heard both kinds (not seen) so I know for a fact that there are spirits working in the world today.\n\nI believe that we are judged at the moment of death.  Heaven is not empty, according to revelations.  There are souls there waiting for God to take vengeance on their behalf.  Millions upon millions are already in heaven. \n\n IMO when Jesus returns, the people who are dead in Christ, meaning the believers that have died before the "rapture" will have their soul (which is already with God) united with a glorified body and they will be resurrected. Next the believers that are alive at the time of the "rapture" will be "caught up" to Jesus in the clouds.  They too will receive a glorified body united with their spirit.  This all occurs in the twinkling of an eye.  The point is our corruptible flesh body, which is dead and returns to dust, must put on an incorruptible, new, glorified body...then we are resurrected, body and spirit.  A believer has already been judged at this point, otherwise, no one would be "caught up" to Jesus.  \n\nThe judgment for all people that are left, during the tribulation period, are judged with the sheep/believers on the right and the goats/ unbelievers on the left.\n\nI kind of went off there.  To answer your question:  Our souls go directly to God and are judged upon death of our physical body. Believers go to paradise/heaven; Unbelievers go to hades/hell. There is a separate judgment at the very end for people that were not raptured and had to live through the tribulation.  I do believe there are spirits both good and bad here in the world.  I don't think "grandpa Joe" is haunting the attic.  The spirits I'm talking about are angels or demons and we are to test them.

If I had to pick one of your options it would be 5=> God is present in our own self and enjoying his creation through us.\n\nWhile I am very uncomfortable with a personification of God, I do believe that there is divine energy that runs through each of us and everything in this existence.  I believe that our consious mind is tapped into that energy and that we can direct it as we navigate through this life.  \n\nI think that when we die we will return to source as it were and be reunited with this energy source.  I believe this energy source is commonly called god and the reuniting is more commonly called heaven.  I think after a brief rest at home (heaven) we will set back out to learn more things using a new lifetime to learn new lessons.

Soem people do. Heaven is a place where we are around others, friends and relatives, who love us and help us. It is that simple.\n\nSome people come right back to earth in another body without experiencing heaven first. That can be considered hell by comparison. Sounds wierd but as a former channeler it is true.

do you mean where ?  If so, heaven is on another plain of existance, far removed from the troubles of this world, possibly in a parallel universe. AS for hell, I don't believe there is such a place, so It doesn't exist.

wow, loaded question\n\nprobably my dad.  I had a vision of him entering heaven exactly 2 weeks before he unexpectantly passed away.  \n\nMy dad would appreciate heaven because he accepted Jesus just weeks before he passed on.  I would want to know how awesome it is up there!

I don't know a lot about Bible, especially the Catholic one, but I agree believe it feels better to believe that heaven exists than not to believe. It doesn't have to be true, the important thing is that it makes you feel better. You believe God exists (or some people believe), you believe love exists, friendship, compassion, hate, anger, all these things are here only psychologically, you don't see them, you can't prove their existence, still you probably believe in them. It's nice to believe in good things.

Some people believe in a paradise that is a beautifull warm garden where all our loved ones wait for and watch over us. The garden is full of sweet smelling flowers, fruit and vegtables, and there are waterfalls of clean crisp water to swim and bathe in. Beautifull birds sing in the trees and soar in the sky over head and every day is spent in the sunshine.There is no hate and greed, no cruelty,no pain, only pleasure, love and happiness.\nIf this is true, then you can find little pieces of Heaven on earth, everytime it is a beautifull blue sky fluffy cloud sweet breeze day, everytime you bite into a fresh perfectly ripe piece of fruit, or swim in a crisp mountain stream.\nThere is a mountain river by my boyfriends house and everyday we would hike down to it to shower. The sun would be hot and the water would be fresh and cool. We would sit on the bank for a half hour or so befor going in, and watch the birds and butterflys flying over head, listen and watch the water flowing over the rocks, and it felt like heaven to me, like everything was as it should be.That's my idea of heaven, of paradise.\nThanks for the greate question, I enjoyed thinking about it and anserwing it.

When I was younger, I was terrified of Heaven. Actually, it wasn't the concept of Heaven that bothered me; it was the thought of eternity. My child's mind tried to comprehend what that would be like, to go on forever without end. What would we do? Wouldn't we get bored? Isn't there SOME kind of ending to it all? Questions like these rattled through my head over and over again. I was unable to completely grasp the concept of eternity, and my inability to do that upset me greatly.\n\nNow that I am older, I am no longer afraid of Heaven or eternity. That isn't to say that I now understand either one of them; eternity is still a bit too big a concept for me (or any human, I think) to truly grasp. Why I am no longer afraid is that I have learned to trust God over myself. Even if I don't understand eternity, God does, and He will know how to run it just fine. With faith in His wisdom, I know that eternity will be something to look forward to, not something to fear.

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, I don't believe in Heaven *or* Hell, so I'd have to say no - but it raises a good point.\nWhat if I'm wrong and when I die I meet God - I'd have to believe and then, because I believed I'd get into Heaven. Because non-believers go to Hell.....\nHmmm, I'm confused.

Hell is Nonexistence. Heaven is, well. You know what Heaven is.

I believe heaven is different for each of us.  We each get the heaven that is perfect for us.  since we are all different..we would each have our own heaven that we would deem perfect.  Your's might be non stop sports where you're the star player and your team never loses.  Mine would be beautiful fields full of tall grass and flowers and the place would be loaded with large happy dogs.

Heaven is not a place or a thing.  It cannot be found in anything of this earth.  There is no place on earth where we can go, and no thing of this earth that we can have that is heaven and will satisfy our heart’s deepest longing.  Why then do people seek their happiness in the things of this earth?  Although heaven is nothing of this earth, we can begin to have heaven while we are on this earth.  In fact, in order to enter heaven after we die, we must begin to enter it here on this earth before we die.  Heaven and Hell begin here and now in the present life that we live.  After we die, we simply continue to live in the state in which we died.  \n\nWhat then is Heaven?  \n\nSimply stated, Heaven is essentially God!  For human beings and angels as well, heaven is being in a loving relationship with God.  Heaven is not place or thing, but persons; the three persons in the Holy Trinity who are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Only in God will we find true happiness and true joy!  Only in God will our souls find rest!  God placed in our hearts a longing and deep desire for Him that He alone can satisfy.   \n\n            God invites us into a loving relationship with Him here and now!  This is why Heaven begins here on earth.  In fact, we could say that the meaning of our life here on earth is to enter into a loving relationship with God.  God created us to be in a loving relationship with Him for all eternity.  He gives us the life we now live to come to know Him and love Him.  But we must freely choose to love God, since love is always free.  God cannot, and will not force us to love Him.  If He did, it wouldn’t be true love.  The meaning of the life we now live on this earth is also to make a choice to either love God or reject Him.  The state of our choice at the moment of our death will be the choice we will have made for all eternity.  It is not possible to die in a state of definitive rejection of God and then, after death to choose Him.  This is why it is important to die in the State of Grace.  It is important to die in a state where we have fundamentally chosen God. \n\n\nIf we do enter into a loving relationship with God, then God will dwell in our hearts.  The human heart is the dwelling place of God made by His own hands.  This is why the Kingdom of Heaven is within; it is within the human heart.  Heaven is not being in a physical place but it is being in the presence of God; it is not having a physical thing, but having the presence of God in our hearts.\n\n\nIf this is what Heaven is, then the opposite of this is what Hell is.  Heaven is the state of loving and being loved by God, and having His presence in our hearts.  Hell is the state of not loving God, not having His presence in our hearts.  Souls that go to hell are rejected by God because they themselves have rejected God.  Heaven and Hell are not essentially places we go to, but states of being we enter into and exist.  \n\n            Although it is true that heaven is essentially the state of being in love with God, and therefore essentially within the human being or angel, a place of heaven must also exist also.  The reason I say this is that Jesus Christ, Mary have physical bodies.  Jesus and Mary must be somewhere.  There must be a place where their bodies are.  It also stands to reason that this place must also be beautiful.  The outside kingdom of heaven is connected to the inside kingdom of heaven in human and angelic hearts.  In other words, God will set those He loves in a place of serenity and beauty.  The beauty of the earth that we see now is an example of how God provides for us and the beauty of the created universe.  Scripture says that “eye has not seen, ears have not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on man what God has prepared for those who love Him.”\n\nSo heaven must be a place too, but it can’t be essentially what heaven is.  To understand this point, imagine the soul of a damned person present in the place of heav

I don't believe in heaven, I'm an atheist.\n\nBut if there is a heaven I am definitely going.  I'm a great guy and do nice things, I let spiders out instead of crushing them and hold doors open for old people.  I'm nice, and I don't believe God requires a particular religion or belief to get in.  It's all about your actions, not what you profess to believe.\n\nBut I'll probably accept Jesus into my heart right before I die, just to be sure.

Yes, I believe in the Lord. He is also my Lord and Savior. I am glad to see that there are still some people that aren't afraid to admit that in the end they will be going to Heaven. I'll see you there.
