Hello, I am not christian. I am incredibly religious i suppose. I just call "it" love instead of god. Ive found no disagreement with my beliefs and those presented in many churches. My only objection to established religions is their insistence on being the exclusive custodians of truth. So, alot of times I seek good conversation regarding the divine and our earthly existence, its received as an attack. I think many times i may ask questions that have a greater detail of consideration than perhaps christians have given to a topic. So, my question is about heaven. There are some pretty strange descriptions of that place. Specifically what and who are all the thrones about/for in heaven?

Hello. We do not know most of the details concerning heaven. We are not, in fact, capable of understanding all the specifics while we are yet in this life.

What we have been given falls into one of two categories--an analogy (thrones, jewels, and so on, which are not to be taken literally) and 'general purposes' (it's for those who have been redeemed, it's eternal, we will be with God, growing in wisdom, etc.).
