Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Your brother don

Yes. I also believe in Hell. It's funny how many people believe in Heaven and not Hell. Take Anna Nichole Smith, I heard some one on TV say, "I guess God needed her." Obviously she was not saved and God had no place in her life so thinking that she's with God now is just not true. Not every one goes to Heaven, only those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior. And Hell is very real.

Do I believe that such a place exists as the abode of the Almighty and his army of angels? Of course.
Do I believe that is the destination of all who believe in Jesus ransom sacrifice and live good lives? Of course not, that's not taught anywhere in the Bible. We're s'posed 2 live on the Earth.

I believe in God and beleive God is somewhere and believe that God will see to it that the best of what the world has to offer will be graced. How it will be or look, I can't say, but I know God has an organzation and does work, so I'm not expecting Heaven to be some wonderful place you float around on clouds and drink nectar.

Im not religous. Im a former Christian but now I am very spiritual. I believe in Heaven bc I have a baby boy who lives there. I dont believe Heaven to be about golden gates and pearly streets. I believe it to be a place where your with God, in peace, with your family and others you love and never have to lose them again. I believe he's an angel, I believe he's with us, I dont believe he has a real halo or wings but he shines brighter than any star in my heart.

For the first millenia or so of the hebrew religion, Heaven was in the sky. Since then I guess God moved it.

Yes, I believe in heaven, and I believe the only way to get there is to repent of your sins (that turn away and forsake your sins) and trust in Jesus Christ.

Yup, that's the tiny fenced off area where they keep the Christians in the Summer Lands.

I do not believe in heaven or hell. I believe that 'man' created ALL religious ethics for CONTROL, POWER AND WEALTH!
