A palace, food, clothes, a deeper understaning or - the understandig of life and virgins right???????( a little humor)
Thats not what I mean, not made up off.... but whose there.(a increadibly hard question to answer)
(a little clarity is all i ask, no definate answers. as if they exist)

If I read the bible, does it casue me to think that Heaven is made-up of only poor people and saints??

Or is that one of the points made, the differnce of weatlh and salvation.

The bible States, "Thou shall not Covent thy neighboors things" (loosely :) )

Jesus said, Give to those who beg of you. And pity(feel for) those with less(other connections can be made, not only in the new testament).

So .. is heaven made up of only Saints(or saint like, taking away the catholic only saint idea). And people who were poor?

Do well-off people go to hell automatically?

This is only a topic of discussion.:)


To take this topic to a more intelligent stance.

As chrisitans, what would be our duty to help the poor?
(what do you do)
Personally I think its a great thing, not only does God see you feed someone else, but also you feed(make it healthy) your soul.(helping others is one of the best feelings you can feel)

That is a perfect example. Just loving God? thats the key? Prerequisites would be something strange.

I was just speaking of how at times, the bible seems aranged.

But what about all the poor people dying? I know its almost impossible to feed them all, but at least our systems should be less stuctured towards giving the top corperations all the power to get away with murder(as our country is now).

The rich get richer, the poor poorer. I guess not everyone believes in god.

It seems to me heaven is a group of spiritual beings with their creator. It is not about money or being poor or rich. It is about loving your neighbor.

it is. loving as you would love is healing more than any other idealogy, self help, substance abuse or anything. no wonder it is a commandment, and not a good idea to debate/discuss about and find "possible" ways of doing. plus it's pretty self-evident. we are to love as we want to be loved. it's not that complicated of an idea to comprehend, and an idea that is easy to fulfill, but also sometimes very hard to fulfill...that's the beauty of it.

and yes i agree that heaven is the Kingdom of God continued from earth.

I am very sorry for this comment. The original humor was tied to the idea that people think this to be true of not only their future, but the fact that people beleive others or other relgions to be interested in such facts is very strange. I don't know where the originaly idea came from, but most likely not based on real constructive reasoning(hence the humor). Absoulutly sorry to even bring the topic too your mind- i hope you can forgive me.

The suggstion of the poor stems from my want to help them, not nessarily to think particular things toward anyone. The reason I bring it up, is because in my search to help others, I would like to find some answers. I am truely interested in helping others, and my suggestion to ask what others were doing was too spark a spirit of not nessarily giving, but beleive in others and Good as the reasons not nessarily behind Religon(as religons encompass a lot of beliefs). But what someone like Jesus did, which was live his life for the betterment of man and to fullfill a prophecy(if you beleive, and definatly predestined- if you believe that) or too act as a major prophet as represtened in others beliefs that may not add Him as "the prophet" or the believe in him being the Son of God or posibly the messiah of man ment to rule again(which ever your beliefs with the topic coinside with).

Ok, Heaven is this:

One it is all spirits, the description of the colours in Revelations is correct as much as it is possible to put in words, yet there is far more.

You have levels as such in heaven, 1st is Farmers as they have shown unconditional love regardless of circumstances.

The 2nd is Wisdom and the place of the Elders, Angels or God's Shepherds, you have Christ, Buddha, Lao Tzu and many other energies.

Nothing is solid it is like being in a cloud.

I can basicly explain the whole thing and am currently writting up what I saw when I died at 23.

I can also explain what is required to enter and what will stop you, as I was sent here to do.

Peace N love B with U
