Of course.Jesus went to prepare a place for me.It is a real place,just as I believe Hell is a real place for those who deserve to go there. We have to learn our lessons here on this plain[Earth,physical] and go back to our energy plain or we can learn other lessons and reincarnate again..or just stay in Heaven with God if that is what we choice...we always have a choice.free choice.

The Bible Says there is a Heaven and a Hell.. Do you believe in a Hell, and I am not talking about earthly Hello...
If you believe that God is there, then you must believe in Heaven and all that comes with it. In the Bible we are told some of what it does look and seem like, but no one knows for sure, because people in Heaven don't come back from dead. They aren't sad or troubled or anything else.
Not sure what you believe?? Please get a Bible out and read what it says. Look at world history and compare the timelines. Why would some parts of it be true and some be false?
What is the worse that can happen? You could have Faith that this place and God and Jesus exist and then you go and get to rejoice, and if not then nothing happens, so why not hope for the best, better than what could be! God bless you all!

I really loved the answer that "Scared For All Of Us" posted. I just want to add my two cents.
I believe in a heaven, but this heaven was not made for
us.
I believe in God, probably not in the way that most religions want to make him look. (He's Beyond all that),
I think that heaven could be his place of "residence" (or whatever)
but, heaven was made for spiritual beings and earth was made for human beings.
Before Earth was born, God had created all the Angels that were needed for the heavens...heavenly spiritual beings, not human beings.
So, what Im trying to say is that if God's intention for humans would have been heaven, as religions teach,
he would have placed us there right from the start as he did with Angels. Instead he created a wonderful Earth for
us, (which we have devasted, by the way).
Why would God go through the trouble of creating such a perfect place (as it was in the beginning) just for a few guys that would eventually wind up in heaven? Unless,
these religions believe in a crazy and undecided God.
God's intention for humans was Earth, still is and will be...
This raises another issue, should the the world come to an end, and burn in fire (as they have scared us to think) and humans extinguish from the face of the Earth, (Good ones to heaven, Evil ones to hell)..Would this then mean that God lost the battle and that his original intentions for humans to live in an earthly paradise were
deviated? I don't think so.....He's God .....Almighty and
His will shall be done.....
I Praise Him and Love Him, my way, not anybody elses way, because without intervention from religions, He has done wonderful things in my life , so, I must be on the right track!

I believe that belief is relative and quite personal to the experiences and conditioning of the individual. The Bible says that "heaven is within." I personally do believe there is a heaven and I believe that it, and all of the questions and answers posed on the subject can be found right inside the person concerned enough to ask or contemplate. We make our own little heaven's and our own little hell's everyday. As far as heaven being a place you go to as a reward for good behavior? Well... That, I'm not so sure about? I think the conscience awareness changes and alters with the body when it dies and what we now understand being in solid, bodily form will change and the soul's concept and understanding of what "heaven." is will change with it. Heaven is all around us right now and I don't believe we have to die to know it.

No, heaven and hell is just a concept of man to explain the unknowns, such as when did time begin and when will it end, or understandiing infinite 3 dimensional space, or the idea that something can be divided by 2, forever. Ideas too hard to comprehend, so things like heaven and hell become something that humans can comprehended, and therefore a faith or religion to explain the unknown. It is like giving a pacifier to the baby. Makes things simple. Clouds above are heaven, the below is a hot intercore of earth which represents hell. Again, just a human concept. Which leads to the question, do you believe in evolution, or Adam and Eve?

I believe in heaven but not how many people believe in it. Most people believe that after all they've done in this life they still have the oppurtunity to go there. Do you think honestly think that? I don't. I think that Heaven is for people who never sinned, ever. The earth was made for us not the heavens. This is where we are meant to be as it says in the prayer we may all know "The OUR FATHER?" Listen to the words.

Actually, I believe in multiple Heavens.
First of all, there is the PRIMARY HEAVEN which God himself maintains and which is his kingdom in which he entertains and houses his children.
Additionally, there is SOME HEAVEN on Earth. Earth is a mixture of Heaven and Hell, but the Forces of Hell have been on the rise recently I am afraid.
In addition to the PRIMARY HEAVEN which is God's, I believe in others as well. God cares for all of his children, and if anybody wants to sponsor a DIFFERENT HEAVEN, he is all about providing for the wellbeing of his children.
I just hope we can get through these extremely rough and bestial times to bring MUCH MORE HEAVEN to Earth.

I would love to believe in a heaven floating through the universe - but, unfortunately, it falls into the same category as the tooth fairy and Santa Claus - a big fairy tale.
Heaven is an opiate to deal with lack of hope on terra firma - and loss of loved ones.
People are afraid to admit - even to themselves - that they know this due to intense social pressure and an underlying fear that a god (with nothing better to do) will punish them for their secret thoughts.
One might also ask: "In which heaven do you believe?"
The one with the fresh water, cool shade and dates, or the one with all my old friends leaping among angels and watching from above?
Folks need to quit 'counting-on' heaven as a 'chosen people' (every church I've been to thinks they are the ones - and their rules apply to get in - and honey, they are getting much more lax than when I was growing up) and start making a difference in their lives here and now.
This is what you get. Quit wasting time on thinking things will get better when you see Grandma waiting a the end of the tunnel of light with all your childhood pets.
Take a moment to actually read scripture (don't let those boys in the pretty dresses on the pulpit tell you what is says - read it - they need to keep you scared for their salary!)
By reading holy writs yourself, you will realize that they are man-inspired works that are now used for political purposes, up to and including murder - under the guise of 'god's will'.
There's plenty of beauty and enormous wisdom in scripture, but it's being consistently twisted and going unchallenged for much too long.
As my heaven goes, I believe, if anything, that we currently walk in paradise and, sadly, we are crapping in most every corner of it.

Oo Heaven is a place on Earth!
I do but it's not any sort of up in the sky, after we're dead sort of thing. It's a state of mind and a way of living. The only heavens or hells that exists are the ones we create for ourselves.

Indeed I do. God talks of heaven and hell in his word quite frequently. We also have a redeemer, Jesus Christ, because he died on the cross for us we are able to go to heaven and spend eternity with our Heavenly Father. No longer is there a reason for Abraham's Bosom because we have the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior here on earth, to be baptized and filled with the holy ghost. There now is no need for us to make a side trip on our way to heaven. When we die we go through judgment with God and at that point we either go to heaven or hell.

I do, but heaven is NOT a place but rather a state of being. This is the fundamental flaw in modern Christian, Muslim and Jewish thinking. Follwers frequently make the mistake that they believe heaven is a place. This is simply not true. It is a state of mind and a state of being that transcends matters of time and space.
