Is heaven a physical place?

Question

Is it physical, or just spiritual and unseen?

Answer 1

It is not a physical place as we know physical by earthly standards. For example if a ghost picks up a ghost cup, it will in every way feel like a cup to that ghost.
Heaven is like this in the same way, even though it is not physical, as we know physical to be, no matter what we do, it will be very real and physical to us in Heaven. for i will be in a glorified body, that will sit in a glorified recliner in my glorified mansion, all of which i can touch and feel.

In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ

According to the Vedic texts there are two heavens. There is a material heaven and a spiritual heaven. This material world has 3 major planetary systems. Earth (middle) Heaven Upper and Hell Lower (no one goes there eternally) Catholic church said this to control citizens. One has to understand reincarnation and karma to understand that we are transmigrating up and down to these planetary systems in the material world due to our Karma (reaction to our actions. Material heaven is on the Sun Moon Mars and all the upper planets. We can not see what is actually there with our material vision. Even if we went there by aircraft you wouldn't see. One has to be qualified to enter. One must get out of the cycle of Birth, death, old age and disease and transcend to the spiritual kingdom called Vicunta, or Go loka for more universal truths go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com Get Book- How the Universe was created and our Purpose in it

Answer 3

While many people see heaven as some sort of other realm, the text presents it as a place. Jesus ascended into heaven in bodily form. "As they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight" Acts 1:9 and see Luke 24:51. Acts 1:11 Jesus was "taken up from you into heaven." Stephen "gazed into heaven" (Acts 7:55-56). It seems that he was allowed to see in a similar way that the servant with Elijah was allowed to see the horses and chariots of fire that destroyed the Arameans. Also, Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that were I am you may be also" (John 14:3).

So it is probably a real place, but not one that you could see with your natural senses.

Answer 4

I believe that currently it is just physical, but Revelation describes the New Jerusalem descending upon the New Earth. So I believe that the spiritual realms and physical realms will again be united so as to be no difference between them. It will be our ultimate existence. I believe that Jesus embodied this after his ressurection. Just a thought...

Answer 5

If you want an answer with proof then I cannot reply and those who are trying to reply holds theories for proofs and not concrete proofs.

I have been in hell and heaven, I have felt heaven and hell and right now I'm 3/4 in hell as my mind is unrest with the construction of my big house and anxious and thirst for money.

It's a mental state.

Answer 6

Heaven can be physical or spiritual. It is as you want it to be. We create our own reality...I don't know if you have noticed people who were raised around negativity will see their surroundings very negative and with no outlets to most of their challenges in life. They see life as Hell on Earth and are hoping they can go to Heaven...
On the other hand, people who were raised in a positive environment are most likely to remain this way throughout life and are always willing to take more challenges in life...everything for them looks like Heaven on the physical plane. Do they believe in Hell? I don't know...I guess it's up to the person who chooses to believe in it.
I personally believe both of them can be physical and spiritual. I believe that God loves us unconditionally. I believe that He gave us Free Will to let us do as we wish and for us to become responsible of our actions by co-creating with God.
We are just expressions of God, as the waves are expressions of the ocean. We are One with God, not the same way a raisin is in a bun, but how a wave is in the ocean. We can make that expression of the wave be gentle and soft or we can make it be fierce and destroying...
The results of our expressions will be either Heaven or Hell like, depending on what our thoughts were before we expressed ourselves.
Did it come from FEAR or LOVE?
If it came from FEAR, the outcome will probably be destroying and damaging...and it will look like Hell.
If it came from LOVE, the outcome will probably be gentle and growing...and it will look like Heaven.
