This is too all you fellow christians out there. How big do you think our Kingdom Of The Mighty Father is? My friend and I debated this recently. He beleives based on scripture that it is 89,283 square acres. Whereas I believe it is roughly the size of Arizona. Does anyone know the exact measurements?

As big as you want it to be. Considering there is no heaven and you create your own reality. Or rather choose your own reality. So you could of course choose heaven.

Those who say that a person cannot believe in descent from apes as well as Heaven are frankly blinkered! I am not a believer BUT IF God created everything, then he created all the evidence that shows evolution. Maybe as a test of faith? If God created everything then He created EVERYTHING. As for Heaven, I personally believe that something remains after death and the 'spirit' may indeed go to Heaven. However this is not a place as depicted by the bible. As you die,you think in a nanosecond about ALL the decisions you have made, all the deeds you have done. This determines the 'heaven' you get. You don't get what you should or what you deserve - you get what you believe you deserve. The human mind has processes that move at lightspeed. At this velocity time slows so your 'afterlife' will be eternal (as it says in the bible "Heaven is eternal" not as is commonly misquoted "Heaven is endless" If it is eternal then everything that 'could' exist WILL. Therefore everyones heaven is deeply personal and is what the subconscious has created for you.

Revelation 21:16-17:
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
This information should be useful in determining who is correct. I have never calculated it myself. I just know there will be room enough in this place for everyone who makes it.
Hope i helped.

I think heaven is as described in the Book of Revelation (New Testament) and the same is in Daniel and Ezekiel (Old testament). A beautiful place for the souls - the bodies will be transformed from terrestial (dense flesh) to Celestial (heavenly like the angels of God). It is the existence with God for ever and ever - No pain, no sorrow, no hungar, no sickness, no disease. Death is no more, hate is no m ore - no want and no nead. Lovely Blisssssssssssssssssss!

Here's what the Bible passage says in response to your question (this is from Revelation 21:15-17):
15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by human measurement, which the angel was using.
12,000 stadia is equivalent to about 1,400 miles (or about 2,200 kilometers, depending on what measurement you're using)
144 cubits is equivalent to about 200 feet (or 65 meters).
Hope that helps!

the new Jerusalem is in Revelations and I did the math on time and it came out to almost the size of the United States.

Heven is most likely to be a system of planets somewhere in the universe, but much more beautiful.

Heaven is bigger than all the planets put together. Its size can't be computed that easily. It has space enough for everyone in there.

If you can count the number of stars in the universe that would be the approximate figure. Or the number of cells you have in your brain you might get the figure right.....Heven is eternal

Well, technically one might say, "Which one?"
But I think that there is a physical heaven that might be what you are referring to.
And you know what? I think that I have an answer for that question:

Time and space are an illusion, and a physical concept anyway, so applying them to a spiritual realm seems pointless.
