Do you believe that only a number of people will go to Heaven and the rest will go to paradise earth? Matt 5:5 says the meek will inherit the earth...is that the way everyone sees it...or do most think we go to Heaven.

Heaven is unlimited. Jesus said God is unwilling that any should perish. Paradise on Earth in the New Jerusalem is the same thing.
BTW - Matt. 5:5 means that if we are subservient to Jesus instead of giving in to our arrogant or pushy nature, we will have lathe opportunity to enjoy life on earth as children of His Kingdom even before we enter Heaven.
There is a long explanation I won't go into too deeply but it centers around the difference between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. According to scholarship published in the last 5 years, the wording of the two appears to be dissimilar enough that Jesus may have been talking about 2 Kingdoms. The Kingdom of Heaven is self-explanatory. But the Kingdom of God is the enjoyment of life abundant while here on earth. The ability to face storms that would crush ordinary people and yet because we reside in the Kingdom of God even while here on earth we are protected just as the Apostles were protected from the storm in the boat.

As the redeemed, we are joint heirs with Jesus of all things in earth and heaven. There is definitely an earthly side to our inheritance but it doesn't stop there.
To say that some inherit the earth and others go to heaven is a completely arbitrary interpretation.

What he said means that those who believe will ascend to heaven and tthose who do not will inherit the earth, basically meaning that to believe in Christ is to not care about owning anything.
Yet another great way for the rich to psych out the poor into being OK with being poor. Just like the CASTE system in India

Rev 7:4, Ps 72"8, Rev 5:10, Rev 14:1, Rev 21:1-4 These answers are absolute.
Also in response to "steve" A sincere Jehovahs Witnesses belief is based STRICTLY in line with the Bible. Look up these scriptures for your self and then tell me if it's just OUR belief and not GOD"S WORD.
And to AM, you call the quran the book of God? What kind of god teaches children and allows them to witness the horrible occurances of murder and terrorism? You are satans lead followers.

I will recommend you to read Quran and you will find the true answers to all your questions....
We Muslims beileve that Bible is a book of God but the bible available today is not the original version and is an altered version with so many different editions that has only few things in common.........
BUT THE QURAN IS ONE AND ONLY ONE.... no versions no ambiguity ... and God take promise that he will keep Quran in its original state till the dooms day..... and he kept his promise.... after 1400 yrs Quran is the same without change of a single character.....
So dear brother/sister .... have a look at Quran... or Translation of Quran if you cannot read Arabic....

I truly hope that you did not get this WRONG!
ALL True Christians will go to HEAVEN. The meek and the
brave.
Much later - WE will rule (old English usage), the Earth and everything on it.
OK?

I think it will be close to paradise earth once the Christians get their Rapture done. Certainly it will take the load off the environment in general and give the rest of us some space to start getting things fixed.
