This is weird but I heard from someone that your heaven is near Iraq? Is it true?
Please tell me the verses related to Christian's heavens. I'll appreciate that. Thanks in advance

What most people call "heaven" is actually an eternal city which the Bible calls the "new Jerusalem" (Revelation 21:2). The eternal city is described like this:
"Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new.'" (Revelation 21:3-5)
The new Jerusalem will be the eternal home of God's people. Of this place, the Bible says that "nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in [Jesus'] book of life" (Revelation 21:27).
We are told that all people will undergo a bodily resurrection from the dead, and all will appear before the judgment seat of Christ (Revelation 20:11-13). Though Jesus initially came to the earth as a Savior, He will now sit as Judge. Those whose names are not found written in his book of life will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14-15).
The idea that everyone will go to heaven and see their relatives is not a biblical idea at all. Jesus said that only those who believe in Him would find life, because "no one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). In Revelation 7:9 we are told that, in heaven, there will be a multitude of people from every tribe, language, people and nation who will have eternal life because of their faith in Jesus. Those who have rejected God will not be with Him.
God Bless You

Well you have your verses up there and i'll interpret!:D Our heaven is not on this earth. Heaven is another "dimension" filled with souls that will no longer know any suffering and will find love in one another. Basically, imagine the world now only fixed up and perfectly at peace and harmony.O_O

I remember somewhere in the New Testament, Jesus said sth about heaven on Earth, which means if every one loves every one, we can turn this world into heaven right here right now. Why go to heaven after this life?

The christian heaven is ,basically, a place that does not belong to Buddhists,Confucianists,A certain degree of Catholics,Jews,Atheists,Muslims,Pagans,Agnostics,and just about every other person in the world that doesnt read the bible and isnt overtly and insanely pious.
These people go to 'Hell' according to them.Barbaric?yes.Humane?No.

it is a place where we will all be happy and prausing God. God will be the light and provide the food. the bible talks of the world being wiped away and a new Jerusalhem coming down so where that will be is irelivant every thing else will be gone. I hope that helps a little try reading the bible.

The phrase 'I heard from someone' is an example of how anything can be spoken.. . . but that alone doesn't give it veracity .
Heaven is eternal love and peace .

No, heaven is not near Iraq. Jesus Christ said, heaven is paradise.

The christian heaven is all boswellox, especially in the Bible. It isn't clearly defined at all and where it is defined it is in contradiction.
