Heavenly Questions - can you answer these questions about heaven?

[Nehemiah6]

Heaven is where ever the Lord is, in John 14:1-4“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

You are misinterpreting this passage, and it certainly does NOT mean that Heaven is where ever the Lord is. God is omnipresent but that certainly does not make the universe "Heaven". When Jesus said "in my Father's house" it could have only one meaning -- God's Heaven -- where also the heavenly city New Jerusalem is presently located.

The Lord Jesus Christ came from Heaven, returned to Heaven, and is now seated on His throne at the right hand of the Father. That truth in itself tells us that Heaven is a definite place with a very definite purpose. Do the souls and spirits go to Heaven to be with Christ? Absolutely. Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

The answer to many of these questions is that heaven is not a physical place, and we will no longer have physical bodies- therefore we will never hunger, thirst, grow old, etc.

Jesus had both a physical and spiritual body after the resurrection so we will too.

 

[tourist]

"Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? (Amos 5:18-20)

The thread is about heaven, not hell. There seems to be some confusion on your part.

 

[tourist]

Here's the thing about cults, they do teach true, but 99% true with 1% lie is a lie, no good lie does not have truth in it.

The true / false ratio probably holds true for all of the Christian denominations.

 

[MatthewG]

I've heard a testimony from an elderly lady, who went through many different things through her life, and she found the Lord Jesus Christ, still believes in being able to come back here and be reincarnated.

I know it doesn't talk about it in the bible but it is something that she believes because of all she went through and being raised up, by her father and mother.

And believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, so what can I say. Lol.

 

[LibrarianLeo]

We've all got 'em! Questions about heaven. From a young age, to adulthood. We ask different questions about heaven depending on how old we are in life. Depending on what we know about heaven. And to be fair, the more we learn about heaven, the more questions there are to ask about it!

So let's go down that rabbit hole. What questions about heaven do you have that you'd like to know the answer for?

[posthuman]

Jesus had both a physical and spiritual body after the resurrection so we will too.

amen

He rose, the Resurrection and the Life, and by this we know we shall also

OneFaith, have a look at Matthew 22 -

On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection)
came to Jesus and questioned Him. . .

. . . But Jesus answered and said to them,
“You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God."

How about this question:

Will we have free will in heaven?

 

[LibrarianLeo]

You got to be kidding me! You think heaven is not a real physical place??

It will be "real" but not material.

 

[LibrarianLeo]

Jesus had both a physical and spiritual body after the resurrection so we will too.

"Real" but not made of decaying matter, like on our earth. More "experiential".

 

[LibrarianLeo]

Jesus had both a physical and spiritual body after the resurrection so we will too.

His body floated up to the clouds....so... not a normal physical body.

 

[Chester]

It will be "real" but not material.

We are told in I John 3 that we will be "like" Jesus. He had a body after his resurrection and still has a body. Yes, our new bodies are going to be different, but they will be real and they will be material and they will be physical.

Of course I know that what you mean by "material" may be different than I define it! LOL!
