Is heaven a place on Earth?

Question

Baby, you know what that's worth... (10 points actually).

Serious question people..

Answer 1

This all depends on context.

If you literally mean the word heaven (as used in various religions), then yes it does exist. First, in Greek Mythology, the term was the "Elysian Fields" - otherwise known as Champs Elysees; last I checked, that was still in Paris right by the Arch de Triomphe. Also, I believe it's a line or stop on the trolleys in New Orleans, if I'm remembering "A Streetcar Named Desire" correctly. In Norse mythology, they called it Valhalla, and that's a town in NY right by where I live.

If you mean the concept of Heaven, then I'd say no. First, I don't believe in that concept at all (and sorry if I've offended people) nor religion. Secondly, if I did, then most religions believe that heaven is not part of the earth.

Or, if you are referring to the Belinda Carlisle song, then I'd say the answer is ambiguous. It's called "Heaven is a place on Earth," and she clearly sings those lyrics many times. But, she also says, "We'll make Heaven a place on earth," implying that it's currently not on earth, but with our love, we can bring it here to earth.

Answer 2

Yes there will be a Heaven on earth someday according to Revalation, but until then I think that your heaven on earth is the one place where you and the ones you love are truly happy. Whether it's in the living room playing a game together or sharing a nice evening around the table talking and catching up with your family. Heaven is where you are truly happy and truly at peace. Good Question Happy Holidays!

Answer 3

There are opinions this might me on this earth or in the skies. The most common and accepted one is that the heaven is on the skies.
however Allah the Almighty is able to do anything and most important point is that there is heaven no matter where it is.

Answer 4

Yep, heaven is a place called the Caribbean! Warm, blue waters, swaying palm trees, pure white beaches, superb scuba diving, cold Corona or rum drink, relaxing chairs on the beach, fresh seafood, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, tropical heat...yep, that sounds like a heaven to me. To hell with that floating around in clouds playing a harp crap...NOT for me.

Answer 5

YES. Heaven *must* be achieved while on Earth. It is the only reason we are here in the physical realm. It is the sole reason we choose to keep coming back .... to achieve Heaven. It is here for all of us!

Rock on!

Answer 6

When we believe in Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we are born again. He gives us a new heart, which is the only way the Holy Spirit can dwell in us. The most amazing thing for all believers is that they are in(HEAVEN ON EARTH) Even when they die physically one day, their soul does not die but goes straight to Spiritual heaven(the presence of God who will be our Eternal Father)

Answer 7

What is your definition of 'heaven?"
If you mean the place where God resides, then heaven is not on earth.
If you mean 'heaven' in the sense of a wonderful place ....one could stretch it to include earth.
Please note the distinction at Psalm 115:16

Answer 8

you're possibly thinking approximately "limbo". Righteous people who died in the past the time of Jesus have been caught in a variety of limbo in the past Jesus further them to heaven. They weren't suffering in Gehenna, yet they weren't in heaven the two. Purgatory is a doctrine and is diverse then limbo. Purgatory is a non everlasting state of purification, ALL souls in purgatory make it to heaven. Limbo of unbaptized little ones isn't a doctrine, that's in simple terms a theological hypothesis and consistently has been.

Answer 9

No way. I feel different about it. For instance, the death toll of humans worldwide is in the higher hundred thousand. Far from the cry of heaven, I would think.

Heaven doesn't exist anyways. I'm serious.
