where does heaven get its gold? its pearly gates? i assume they have oysters in heaven... do you think if the bible inventors knew what platinum was, they would include it in the bible?
if there's streets of gold, there should be gravity, but walking would be so boring, if we had carriages, then we must have something to pull it with... do they have animals in heaven?
what about "in my father's house are many mansions"?
it assumes that we need them? what for? for flaunting how many souls you have saved, depending on the decorations in your mansion?" who would care?

In heaven we fellowship and serve the Lord, as in commune with Him and each other. I don't think we will care that the streets are gold or that there are mansions. I think the point is that it is peace and joy living with the Lord as we are intended to. Your question seems to assume that monetary posturing or status symbols will still have the same appeal, worth, as on earth. These things won't matter. They won't hold the same attraction. They won't mean anything at all. So to answer your questions: Heaven gets gold, pearls, etc. just as earth does... God created them. I don't know if they have animals in Heaven, but look at Revelations... horses of four different colors, I think, though they are probably symbolic. No one will care about the mansion.

God's house is Heaven and the mansions are the houses God build for everyone who makes it to heaven, life goes on.... in ~ Heaven~ your cup running over.... God blessing you, your heart desires.
There is about a MILLION things more in Heaven that's not in the Bible.... SWEETIE God is not simple, you will never know all or even half about him. open your mind, use the other side, than you'll be more OPEN, I am being serious. try being spiritual, perhaps you'll get a feel of it all.
YOU WOULD CARE if you ended up in Hell, than it would be to late, but you'll still cry.

Try picking up a bible and reading it. But, before doing so, pray and ask the holy spirit to fill you with Godly wisdom and understanding. That way, you will be able to interpret what the scriptures are saying based on the knowledge of God and His spirit.

CHRISTIANS know the things of GOD by Faith !! ::::::: Hebrews 11: 1 - 3....Now faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen . For by it the elders obtained a good report.. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God , so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear....Also see in Proverbs 3 : 5 - 7..Trust in the Lord with all thine heart ; and lean not unto thine own understanding..In all thy ways acknowledge him , and he shall direct thy paths ..Be not wise in thine own eyes ; fear the Lord , and depart from evil .

I think the question you should be asking yourself is, why try so hard to make a point like yours? Could it be that you've been burned too many times by people. Maybe your trust in Christians is non-existent, but know that what has been created doesn't always imitate the creator.

IN my fathers HOUSE ,there are many mansions, how did he put all those mansions in his house?? That sounds about as silly as your question... HE is GOD, all things are possible with him. He made all things that were ever made, it all belongs to him , I guess if he wants all these things in heaven he can do it don;t you.????????????...

That's an awful lot of thought based on the logical fallacy that things in "Heaven" would have to operate on the same principals that constrain us here. Why so curious?

I wish I could answer those questions... I don't know the answers, but I know who does. If you want, you can find out pretty easily. Just ask Him.

What all the inquiries about? You don't need Heaven, you already have Hell.
