Answer 1

Here is a description of Heaven that William Booth the founder of the Salvation Army received. Before He had this vision he was just a run of the mill church goer who was more interested in running his personal business than attending to God's business here on earth.

After the first feeling of surprise had somewhat subsided, I looked around me, and took in the situation. It was way beyond anything of earth - positively delightful. And yet some of the more beautiful scenes and sounds and feelings of the world I had just left appeared to be repeated in my new experience in enchanting fashion. Still no human eyes ever beheld such perfection, such beauty. No earthly ear ever heard such music. No human heart ever experienced such ecstasy, as it was my privilege to see, hear, and feel in the celestial country.

Above me was the loveliest of blue skies. Around me was an atmosphere so balmy that it made my whole physical frame vibrate with pleasure. Flowing by the bank of roses on which I found myself reclining was the clearest and purest water of a river that seemed to dance with delight to its own murmurings. The trees that grew upon the banks were covered with the greenest foliage, and laden with most delicious fruit - sweet beyond all earthly sweetness. And by lifting up my hand I could pluck and taste.

In every direction above and around me the whole air seemed not only to be laden with the sweetest perfumes coming from the fairest flowers, but filled with the fairest forms. For, floating around me were beautiful beings whom I felt by instinct were angels and archangels, seraph and seraphim, cherub and cherubim, together with the perfect blood-washed saints who had come from our own world. They were sometimes far, and again coming nearer.

The whole sky at times seemed to be full of white-winged, happy, worshiping, joyous beings. And the whole country, apparently of limitless extent, was filled with a blissful ecstasy that could only be known by being experienced.

You may perhaps imagine my sensation. At first I was swallowed up with a sort of ecstatic intoxication, which feeling was immediately enhanced by the consciousness that I was safe, saved, to suffer and sin no more.

And then suddenly, a new set of feelings began to creep over me. Strange as it may seem, I felt somewhat lonely and a little sad, even in the midst of this infinite state of bliss. Because up to this moment I was alone. Not one of the bright beings who were soaring and singing in the bright ether above me, nor the ones who were hastening hither and thither, as though bent upon some high mission, had spoken to me or approached me.

I was alone in heaven! Then, in a still stranger and mysterious way, I appeared to feel in myself a sort of unfitness for the society of those pure beings who were sailing around me in indescribable loveliness. How could it be? Had I come there by mistake? Was I not counted worthy of this glorious inheritance? It was indeed a mystery.

My thoughts went back to earth. And all before me, as though unfolded by an angel’s hand, the record of my past life was unrolled before my eyes. What a record it was! I glanced over it. And in a glance I seemed to master its entire contents - so rapidly, indeed, that I became conscious of a marvelous quickening of my intellectual powers. I realized that I could take in and understand in a moment what would have required a day with my poor, darkened faculties on earth.

With my quickened mind, I saw, to my delight, at that very first glance, that this register of my earthly existence - the Divine biography of my life - contained no record of any misdeeds before my conversion. Indeed, that part of my life seemed to be very much of a blank. I further perceived that neither was there any record of the sins I had done since that time. It was as though some friendly hand had gone through the roll and blotted out the record of the evil doings of my life. This was very gratifying. I felt like shouting praises to God, who had delivered me from the pain of having these things staring me in the face in this beautiful, holy land, among all these holy beings, where it seemed to me that the very memory of sin would defile.

Nevertheless, a further glance at my record appalled me, for there was written therein - leaving out, as I have said, the sins of commission - there was written the exact daily record of the whole of my past life! In fact, it went much deeper, because it described in full detail the object for which I had lived. It recorded my thoughts and feelings and actions - how and for what I had employed my time, my money, my influence, and all the other talents and gifts which God had entrusted me with to spend for His glory and for the salvation of the lost.

Every chapter of this record carried my thoughts back to the condition of the world I had left. And there came up before my eyes a vivid picture of its hatred for God, its rejection of Christ, its wickedness, with all the wretchedness and destitution and abomination. It utterly appalled me. Also into my ears there came a hurricane of cursing and blasphemy, and a wail of anguish and woe that stunned me.

I had seen these sights and had heard these sounds before, not too often, it is true, because I had hid myself from them. But now they blinded and stunned me. They appeared a million times blacker and more vile, more wretched and piteous, than they had ever seemed before!

I felt like putting my hands before my eyes, and my fingers in my ears to shut these things out from sight and hearing, so intensely real and present did they seem. They wrung my soul with sorrow and self-reproach, because on the “Record of Memory” I saw how I had occupied myself during the few years which I had been allowed to live amidst all these miseries, after Jesus Christ had called me to be His soldier. I was reminded how, instead of fighting His battles, instead of saving souls by bringing them to His feet, and so preparing them for admission into this lovely place, I had been on the contrary, intent on earthly things, selfishly seeking my own, spending my life in practical unbelief, disloyalty and disobedience.

Answer 2

I imagine heaven to be quite crowded by now. Everyone there is a sexless, cowaring drone. There's no "pot or shrooms"! you should be on your knees feeling guilty and asking for forgiveness...not stimulating your mind.

The Tree Of Knowledge has long been uprooted. The last time someone picked fruit from that tree, they almost figured out what a scam Christianity is. But hey, who needs to seek knowledge ? All you need here is blind faith & servitude.

There's no such thing as privacy in heaven. You MIGHT be doing something wicked & if you are, the Lord needs to know about it. All art, music & celebrations are dedicated to the Lord. No pets allowed as they are known to "have no souls".

Your neighbors are the likes of Pat Robertson & other radical bigots you many remember from Earth. They look at you suspiciously, wagging their fingers at you while reciting bible scripture every time they see you.

There's NO comfort. NO pleasure, NO enjoyment. Thos are "worldly things/Satans tools". Here in Heaven, just contentment in being a good little lamb of god!

Yuck.

Answer 3

The Bible tells us that there is not only life after death, but eternal life so glorious that “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

In Luke 23:43, Jesus declared, "Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). The word Jesus used for paradise is paradeisos which means "a park, that is, (specifically) an Eden (place of future happiness, paradise)". Paradeisos is the a Greek word taken from the Hebrew word pardes which means "a park: - forest, orchard" (Strong's). Jesus said "Today you shall be with Me "en paradeisos" not "en nephele" which is Greek for in clouds. The point being that Jesus picked and used the word for a park. Not just any park but "the paradise of God" or park of God (Revelations 2:7)

Answer 4

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.

Answer 6

The Bible tells us that there'll be angels praising God, glorious praise. It says about heaven in Revelation 21:4 "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." and of course, streets of gold, big pearly gates. By this, you know that even the things that are of sch value to us now will be so common in heaven, we will be so rich, that gold will merely be used as something to walk on. we will have our every need and want met, but, no, no pot. you won't want or need it.

Answer 7

You will own several young virgins, perhaps with names like Jasmine or Betha. They will pleasure you while young boys serve you wine, not Chardonnay or White Zinfandel, but a kind that doesn't get you intoxicated. It will be served in crystal clear silver goblets. You will sit on thrones with other slaves of Allah, like Malcolm X and Al Jab'r. Oh! glorious day!

Answer 8

1.The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was not in Heaven. it was in the Garden of Eden, which was on Earth.
2. No-thats kindof a twisted thought-pot in heaven? I think not. but it will be more than we could ever ask for. after Jesus was resurected, He said, I go to prepare a place for you. it will be beyond what we have ever dreamed or imagined. i mean come one-it's God!

Much love in Christ
Rachel

Answer 9

U shouldnt go to heaven to know whether its streets are made of gold or its gates made of different kinds of gems.

Heaven is a place where we go to live with the GOD who loves u.Who cares for us to know more about him.to conform more into his image.To be just as he is.

All the others things come after that.

But to see all these things u must be on your way to heaven.

GOD loves u so much that he sent his son JESUS to die for u to reconcile u back.

"For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoso ever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life".Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with his blood.

With a simple prayer like above u can be saved

Answer 10

Crude materialism and spirituality do not mix. Find another category. As to your juvenile question,if one can call it that,"heaven" is a spiritual state of being,not a physical place. Go play with that science kit dad got you.

Answer 11

Yes, you would find shrooms all over the place, because anyone who thinks that they are in heaven is clearly tripping.
