Wasn't Paul writing about a vision or revelation....not actually *going* there? In that case.....can't it be a bit of a metaphor instead of a tangible and physical "place"?Apostle Paul did teach there is more than one heaven. He went to the 3rd
I've never felt led to read it before. I just started to read it tonight, after finding a pretty interesting URL Forum post from 2012, which was pretty informative read. It said that the book was in use by the early church and that fragment copies of it were found in the dead sea scrolls. It was also quoted by Jesus 12 times and Jude 1 time. So I think maybe it may be time for me to give it a read from start to finish.It IS hard to fathom
Yet again, I haven't read Enoch, kinda feel weird about it
Just kinda weary
Why was the book removed? Or whats the story there?I've never felt led to read it before.

2nd Corinthians 12:1 = "I will reluctantly tell about visions and revelations from the Lord."
In the bible you hear of being caught up into the third heaven, which SUGGESTS that there must be a 1st and a 2nd heaven for a 3rd to exsist.
What are your thoughts and do you have scripture and reference to back up your opinion?

I assume everyone knew this, but, the 1st heaven is the sky, our atmosphere on earth, the air, the 2nd, is the celestial realm, "space" as we know it, the 3rd is beyond (yet right on the "other side" of both of them, which is the Heaven where God and spirits reside and operate from that Paul went to when he died temporarily...In the bible you hear of being caught up into the third heaven, which SUGGESTS that there must be a 1st and a 2nd heaven for a 3rd to exsist.

It is possible that we each get our own (simulated) reality, or that some get their own and others get to go to a/the reality of God and the angels...I believe there are more heavens than we can imagine. There could be one for each person with all the people and things they want in it. One may be a golden gated community with streets of gold and mansions. Another with a house on a farm.....with horses and family and posters that gave them the most "winner ratings.." The poster that give us a hard time wont be there....so they most go to the other place........their own heaven, that is.
I believe it to be so, just as there are levels to hell there are levels to heaven. Paul speaks on it so I believe it to be true.In the bible you hear of being caught up into the third heaven, which SUGGESTS that there must be a 1st and a 2nd heaven for a 3rd to exsist.

In the Gospel of Mary
The gospel of Mary??In the Gospel of Mary, Jesus told Mary to always look for anomalies
I always thought this was the common knowledge as well.I assume everyone knew this, but, the 1st heaven is the sky, our atmosphere on earth, the air, the 2nd, is the celestial realm, "space" as we know it, the 3rd is beyond (yet right on the "other side" of both of them, which is the Heaven where God and spirits reside and operate from that Paul went to when he died temporarily...
God Bless!
