Everyone talks about heaven but in Isaiah and Psalms it sounds like the earth will be a paradise and wickedness removed and the paradise will be right here.

... and that is exactly what Jehovah's Witnesses believe! Psalms 37:29 says that the "righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it". Sounds like a plan to me!!! :)

When Jesus said this, he was meaning that those who were humble would inherit heaven. It will be the opposite when Jesus comes. Paradise will be in heaven, and the earth and all of it's evil will be laid to waste.

In Revelation it says that the Lord will make a new heaven and a new earth- and Heaven is brought down- The New Jerusalem. See the end of Revelation.

Are you a Mormon??
Sounds like Mormon false teaching to me!!
If you believe that the world will be the future heaven that to me means you are limiting Gods awesome power and his Kingdom in heaven.
If God made room for all of us here on earth I am sure God is big enough and mighty enough to make room for all his children in heaven.

The meek will inherit the earth. If everyone actually refused to cooperate with evil in this world non-violently; ala Ghandi, evil could never be successful. Remember--resist ye not evil/love one another, as I have loved you.

A PROMISE FROM JESUS
Matt.5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

There will be a new heaven and a new earth which believers will inherit.
Meekness is a trait... not one of weakness, but of strength and belief. Faith. Also humility, kindness and patience.
Hope these references will help:

Well let's think about this.
I know thought is so difficult for Christians, but let's try.
If heaven is a place where the ability to choose to hate is removed then logic dictates that the ability to CHOOSE to love would also be gone!
If you remove all struggle and challenge you also remove any possible purpose or growth!
HEAVEN A PLACE OF ETERNAL STAGNATION!
AND WHO WANTS TO STAGNATE FOREVER?
CAN I SEE A SHOW OF HANDS?
