  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I suppose God made Heaven, not the universe, before he made the stars and the Earth. Creating from a place above time and space. I would call it primordial Heaven.

Maybe the angels were already there before Genesis 1:1.

I do not know when Satan fell or to where.

I recall Benny Hinn preach I think from Psalms that Heaven was by the Northern Star.

Revelation mentions a throne and sea of glass...

Is there a Heaven in the universe, apart from paradise or the new Earth? Is there a primoridal Heaven?

Yes, there is a heaven. But it seems like there's a lot more speculation than what God has told us.

Remember too that the angels are part of the spiritual realm. The material, physical realm involves planets, animals, plants. And human beings as the intended summit of the material realm, because we also have a unique spiritual aspect that allows us to commune with God. This is why mankind was given the role of "priest" over the material realm - it was our position to be the "bridge" in a sense between God and matter. Of course Adam failed at that, because he chose to be disobedient, which is part of the reason Christ God became incarnate in human flesh, joining Himself to the material realm and becoming the perfect High Priest.

I think we sometimes tend to think of "Heaven" in terms of the material world, confusing the issue. It is real. It exists. But as for a weight, dimensions, location? Constrained by natural laws of physics, time, etc? We can begin to speculate when we try to make it "fit" our human understanding.

The EARTH also was CORRUPT BEFORE GOD. And GOD LOOKED UPON THE EARTH, and BEHOLD, it was CORRUPT, for ALL FLESH HAD CORRUPTED HIS WAY UPON THE EARTH.
