I mean, do you just exist in this state of eternal bliss? Do you still have an identity or are you simply one with everything? How exactly does it work? I'm we don't exactly know, but whats the general thought on it?

Thats the thing I'm honestly kind of...iffy about. It sounds terrible, but...as much as I praise God, I just have this image of doing nothing but worshipping for all of eternity. When they say you worship and praise him, does it mean you're in a state of worshipping, or is that what you're doing? I would say its the former...hope its the former...eh this makes me sound so bad! I guess even if it was the latter it'd be ok...my dislike of it is with a limited understanding.

Somebody I respect as very intelligent and religious told me that he believes Earth is Heaven because to not have it anywhere else would be outside of the Lords intentions. He said Earth was for humanity and that humanity should be there, that God will place Heaven on Earth. Will things be...when people say there will be mansions, do they mean that physically?

Jesus said that heaven is paradise. If you get to heaven, then you will be praising and worshipping God.

I'm planning on attending a great wedding feast with Jesus. Won't it be amazing to simply marvel in His presence?
The Bible also talks about streets of gold and mansions. I would love to be in some type of choir, but wonder if that is only reserved for the angels?
I'm sure there are many things about heaven we can't even imagine. I think the thing that gets me most excited is meeting up with loved ones who have gone before us. There are some that I miss so very much. It will be wonderful to see them again one day (hopefully a long time from now since I still have a lot I'd like to finish on this earth, like raising my children).
I also want to see some of my pets I've lost. After reading through the Bible, I am convinced that there are animals in heaven, although some will disagree with me on this issue.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll get a lot of different answers but actually no one knows for certain.

To reach heaven means to understand how to get there, and to start the trip today.The bible uses many illustrations to teach people.
an example : Read Hebrews 12 carefully, with a spiritual eye.
Maybe you will agree it is the final stage of the trip from Egypt to mount Zion.People are on this trip, at different stages, each day.In the old testament, this 3 day journey never came to nothing, people not listening and Jesus not there to show the way, the new living way is now available, Jesus himself completed this trip and is to be found on this spiritual mountain
On the mountain is all that you want, the living God, His Son, the angels, the city Jerusalem, all to be found today.
If you have found this way, and you are on this mountain, and your physical body happens to pass away while you are in this spiritual state peace, why will your still soul go away anywhere else -spiritually speaking ?

Well the bible tells me eye has not seen, ear has not heard, and the heart cannot conceive of all God has planned for those who love Him. I believe in this present human state I am unable to comprehend what heaven will be. So I don't think about it all that much. There are a couple of things I am looking forward to; never again having a migraine headache and not being tired and getting old and creaky.

Well, we know that there will be a wedding feast, and that there will be streets of gold and trees with fruit. Also mansions. Heaven will be an type of utopia, a paradise and there will probably be lots to do that we can't imagine. I once heard someone say that the beauty of earth was just a glimpse of what heaven is.

God is in the very center of all things. You are galaxies and galaxies away from the center of all things. Paradise
Experience! is what you gain as you journey to the center. (Paradise) This will take billions of years.
Governments will become larger and civilizations more complex.
Earth is a small planet within a cluster of planets within a larger cluster within a larger cluster and so on.
There are those who are billions of years ahead of you.
The Dragons known as the Satan, Devil, Lucifer, Serpent, and Beelzebub are screw ups of one Galaxy. in which you and I are part of. The whole system is not in chaos! only ours. That's why Christ chose Earth. He picked the most sorry *** place in the heavens to finish the work that the father sent him to do. That's our privilege and our burden. Also our confusion. Why Earth?
It truly works.... by you gaining one grade at a time; no cheating! "
Be ye perfect" one grade at a time!
Peace......

The Bible gives very little description about specific activities, but instead tells us it is WAY better than we can ever imagine, meaning we are free to imagine all the best and most fun things ever, and still know it will kick that stuff's butt. I'm pumped.
Esther....Think about IT! It's gonna rock, Get Excited!
Hey FSLCAPT...You coming? You're totally invited man.
