• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

The duration of heaven.

How long does heaven last?

Imagine the entire surface of the earth covered in a layer of sand, ten miles deep.
Imagine each grain of sand representing one billion years of paradise.

That's a lot of heaven.
But heaven lasts even longer than that.

"At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore."

How could such an infinite gift be made freely available to us?
Because Someone of infinite value made an infinite sacrifice.

Thanks be unto God.
Amen.

How long does heaven last?

I think you are forgetting that the realm of Heaven is without, or outside of the time dimension, (hard for us to conceive of, I know), but it is none-the-less, "true", so, it lasts "forever" but when we humans think about "forever" we are still thinking within "time", "everlasting" may be a more appropriate term, but we humans still think of this term within the concept of "time", and Heaven is without time, in fact it is outside, not only the time dimension, but outside normal, physical, material, "space". Even if the universe died and fizzled out, heaven would still remain...

There is no stars or starlight in heaven, as it exists outside that dimension, but God is it's light, and that light eminates from the throne and the one seated on it (J.C.) and it lights up all of the heavenly Jerusalem, the heavenly city, and outside the gates is "complete" darkness with no starlight, but pure darkness reserved for the wicked..

Imagine the entire surface of the earth covered in a layer of sand, ten miles deep.
Imagine each grain of sand representing one billion years of paradise.

That's a lot of heaven.
But heaven lasts even longer than that.

"At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore."

God Bless!

Christs Heart was like to our Father, He said I would rather cease to exist so that they can live.....A remarkable heart words cannot express the Love Jesus showed us little ol us...........God RAISED Christ from the grave.......Our Father said You are my Son in You I am well pleased.......God knew Christ Jesus heart was pure..........Defeated the devil took the keys of Hades and even Raised Christ from the grave to show us that we one day will rise into Eternal and everlasting life. What a profound and mind blowing God we serve!
