do you know of any other resources on Heaven?

nope!
first heaven is not static
since we are finite creatures there will always be more and more wonderful things to know about the awesome God
Heaven will be like trying to climb an endless mountain reaching more wonderful heights and awesome views and greater enjoyment. it is the great adventure of knowing God more and more
God is the centerpiece and treasure of heaven AND
God is the only thing that would be an inexhaustible joy
and there is also the redeemed from every nation and age who will have great stories to tell if you pull up a chair and want ot listen what God did in their age (or what they learned since coming to heaven)
anything else can get boring by the 10,000th time no matter what

I've always thought the Christian view of heaven sounded a little boring. Then again, I really don't agree with most popular Christian moral values - and for Christians, at least in my experience, heaven is not so much a place of love, tolerance and understanding as a place where their strict moral systems will reign free and supreme. I'm not at all a bad person, but I have a few vices that don't harm anyone whatsoever. If heaven is what a lot of Christians like to think it is, I'd rather not go. And I guess they'd rather not have me there. Love and understanding only IF you fit the right profile.

I really encourage you to read Revelation 21. If you don't want to read the whole thing, start with verse 11. That starts with the description of what it is going to be like. I really don't think our minds can grasp what it will truly be like. John did the best he could. I would also reccomend possibly reading more than one version. I know many advocate King James Version, but I say read it in a version you can understand. NIV is a good version, and it leaves out the Old English. Which I have no problem with!
If you have any further question I will check back on the topic and try and answer them to the best of how much I have studied on this topic.
God Bless!

If you would read the bible, you'd know it's nothing like that. Evidently your perception of heaven is from Tom & Jerry, or Tweety and Sylvester. There is a book that tells you about the real heaven, it's called the Holy Bible. Look in Revelation 21 and 22.

Heaven is being with you Lord and Savior your Creator that is not boring! Of course if you think burning up to death and being in pain eternal separation from God is more exciting then Hell's the place for you...

Heaven will exist for those who believe it exists. The same for hell.
I've come to the conclusion, after many years of study and personal experience, that perhaps the Hindus are right. What we are living is an illusion.
Now. If you come to understand, as I have, that this plane of existence is illusory, then you also come to understand that we are the creators of our own reality. This idea works in harmony with how the universe works; Like attracting Like. The simplest explanation of that being,
If you are a doctor, you are likely to befriend other doctors, academics and those of your intellectual equal, plus those with similar interests in life. The chance that you would also have as a good friend, someone you'd join for dinner et al, being a prostitute or a hit man, is slim to none. Thus...
What you firmly believe in will be your reality. Those beliefs will also attract within your personal circle, those of like mind.
Those who believe in the Christian construct of heaven and hell will go to one of these places, postmortem, according to what they "believe" they should go to - thus if they live with shame, they will enter hell, being with those of like mind. Those who also believe that hell is what they deserve. The same for heaven.
The point being, what you believe, what you live, is what you create for yourself.

if you where go to heaven..your minds will not be the same as here on earth..God will change it..all earthly things in mind will be out cast..and what we do will praise God..you will never feel pain, sad, angry all of these all happiness but not same on earth..you will see if you get there..
that's much better than going to a place full of fire nd brimstones wuth non-stop suffering and crying..all pain..no one will hear you ...never-ending..
the choice is yours

God made the world & the rules. He gets to decide how it all works. It's not about moral systems and profiles. It's about loving God and when you do, you WANT to do the things he wants you to.
