There are many levels of Heaven,  it's beautiful like earth, except no shadows, no death, just light, everything is alive, animals, trees, plants, rivers of crystal clear water, mountains, all the abortion babies that are growing and be taught of God. eventually we'll receive new bodies, are senses would be on a new level, you'll be able to sense what plants, trees and animals feel, we'll be able to communicate with out having to speak. Our new eyes and bodies would be made strong enough to take in the new beauty of the new world and withstand God's glory.\n\nMany many more things....... Peace be with you!

One of the many things that Christians become very vague about is when they describe heaven.\n\nThe Christian concept of heaven sounds more like hell than anything else. Who wants to sit around all day singing the praises of anyone, including "God?"

First let's define kingdom, there is a king and his dominion, or KINGDOMinion.\n\nThe kingdom of heaven is really everyplace where God is or reigns. So the kingdom of heaven can be in you, your grey matter, your spirit.\n\nThe first resurrection, mortal putting on immortality, is at the beginning of the 1000 year reign of Christ. The second resurrection is at the great white throne judgment.

It's an interesting story. Although, I believe that heaven and hell is much different. I believe that to get to either one or the other, we choose. Now this is where people get lost. Obviously no one chooses to go to hell (not that they know of). I believe that hell is a place where we are separated from God. Therefore our soul burns with grief and we gnash our teeth. Heaven is a place where we are connected with God. We are designed to be with God and that is why it burns to be separated. You see, people choose all their lives to live without God. God simply gives them what they have always wanted. Separation.

the life we are living can infact be heaven. we just need to mold it well and enjoy each and every day of our life with our loved ones- that is the true essence of heaven, the paradise of our lives.

Heaven is a state of eternal bliss, of closeness with God. There is no pain, suffering, or hate there. There is also no hope, but in a good sense: Heaven is more than we could ever hope for and more. In the book of Revelation, it is portrayed as a humongous walled city made of gold and jewels.\n\nAccording to the New Testament, we will be with our loved ones there provided they also die as believers in Christ ("He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned"). As for the spouse thing, I'll be honest: I'm not completely sure, but I THINK that no one is married there. Jesus said something to the effect that "in heaven they are not married, nor are they given in marriage." If you think about it, that would probably save remarried widows and widowers a lot of stress (as in "GAH! Which one am I married to?" stress). All the same, we can still remember that relationship and cherish a special fondness for our spouse/s in Heaven. That brings me to your last question...\n\nWe will definitely have our memory of life here on Earth. The story of Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus on the mountain shows without a doubt that they hadn't forgotten who they were in life. Anyway, I hope my answer was helpful. We'll find out for sure when we get there, right?

Very well put.  Thank you.\n\nHumbly do I implore You, keep me in Your divine grace, and deprive me not of peace. Save me from sudden misfortunes; deliver me and sustain me. May I never displease You, my Lord.\n\n-From the prayer book "Al-Hizbul-A'zam"\n\nAttentiveness is the path to true life;\nIndifference is the path to death.\nThe attentive do not die;\nThe indifferent are as if they are dead already.\n\n-Dhammapada\n\n As long as the soul is within me, I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, my God and God of my fathers.\n\n- Talmud: Berakot 60b \n\nNot everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. \n-Matthew 7:21

Heaven is where God exists and everything is in perfect peace. There is no such thing as time in heaven. Everything is perfect in every way and the ones that reside there will be in perfect harmony\nHell is a place of eternal torment,fire seven times hotter than any fire on earth, complete darkness, no hope of any out, home of the devil and all his demons, no relief,and everything else that produces torment.

I believe in re carnation . The soul comes back in new body and a brand new life .If the previous life was spent with good deeds, next life is accordingly blessed else vice-verse.  Heaven is when the life is spent happily and hell is when it is wasted and is meaningless, both are a part of present life .

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.

It says heavenS not Heaven. The Bible probably means the sky and the celestial bodies, not actual Heaven. Isn't Heaven usually capitalized?

It doesn't say that anywhere, I'm afraid.  Jesus does say, however, that the Kingdom of Heaven is like the little children.  How, then, could they go anywhere but to Heaven?
