Heaven

[al_man]

So a few days a go at our "Three Coffees Discussion" We talked about Heaven.

It was very interesting to hears everyone's thoughts, such as, "would there be anything to do in heaven? Would we have things to strive for?" and "Would we be the perfect body?"....and many more, it was a great discussion and we are going to be expanding more on it in the future.

Just thought it would make for a great discussion here, what are your thoughts of heaven? What do you think it will be like?

well, I personally have learned that there are two heavens(although one of them is HEAVEN And the other is PARADISE).

what happens is a righteous person dies, and while he is dead he waits. where is he when he waits? this is called PARADISE, it is a state of being that is utterly restful. after a while he gets resurected and is rewarded by being granted entrance into HEAVEN where he will live with Jesus and God.

now here is what i think people do while there in heaven...Govern. I think they will have people under them whom they must manage and nurture, sort of like children.

also, this is just my opinion, but i think everyone plays with each other. they play games and talk and of course...well...probably....worship.

1 Corinthians 2:9
New International Version
However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"

Sounds like according to this verse, it may be impossible to describe heaven and we will never know until we get there. It's got to be something that you can't even imagine.

i've been before the throne in spirit and can say in heaven theres no pain - continous learning and freedom. completeness which we will never see on earth.. sorry folks but just being honest.. the light is so bright its amazing but most of us will continue to go through the learning process.

All The Glory Belongs To God Forever!

No, "Paradise" or "Abraham's Bosom" was where the souls of the righteous went to before Christ's sacrifice to atone for sins. It was in the Earth and was separated by a great chasm from Hell/Hades. But that was only until Christ made His glorious sacrifice at Calvary. The 3 days He was in the tomb He entered into Abraham's Bosom to preach to those in that "prison", and brought their souls with Him when He resurrected.

Now when a saved person dies their soul goes to be with the Lord, who is in heaven seated at the right hand of the Father. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."
