Has your attitude about "Heaven" changed over the years?

Question

(Sorry for this personal question. How old are you?)

Answer 1

I'm 48
My attitude has changed somewhat.
1) I am no longer afraid of death and am looking forward to heaven.
2) I now know that heaven is far from boring (which I had previously thought many moons ago)

blessings UW :)

Answer 2

I was always a little skeptical but as I grew older I saw it was as if children described their ideal place when people spoke of Heaven. Everyone's version was different. So now, I don't believe in Heaven at all but I do believe humans have a spirit that lives on in some way. Where and how I have no idea. I am 53.

Answer 3

I am 31 and when I was younger i didn't think about heaven much since I was brought up in a non-religious household.
When I turned to God at the age of 20, I began to wonder what Heaven would be like, and from the slight glimpses I have had of God's presence when praising Him, I believe it will be beyond anything we can comprehend.

Answer 4

I am a young adult. When I was a kid, I thought heaven much like I saw in cartoons. I assumed that heaven was somewhere in the sky. That made sense to me as a child. I thought there were angels floating around with harps and God made it thunder when he was bowling on Friday nights. I was a kid and believed things very literally. When I got older, I learned that these things are simply cute stories. Now, I have come to terms with understanding that heaven is not something that we will understand until we are there. I believe that heaven is being in constant worship. Living a live in eternal worship of God. That is the view I have come to terms with as I have grown over the years and grown in my faith.

Answer 5

I'm 54, and the older I get, the more that I am looking forward to going to Heaven. I've lost so many friends and family members over the years that I can honestly say, "My treasure is in Heaven."

And as I've grown to love the Lord more and more, I long to see Him face to face. This "as through a glass darkly" thing just doesn't cut it when there's Someone you love more than life itself and want to be with.

I don't see those things changing except that my desire to "be dissolved and be with the Lord" will probably become even stronger as time goes by.

Answer 6

My age is, Well, older than most of you, I think of Heaven as home, where my parents are, and my departed wife. it would be nice if we could open a little window, and take a little peek in, yes, that would be nice. I can feel a little of Heaven, just thinking about it.

Answer 7

I used to think there are heaven and hell. Even though, born to Buddhism family. I had quite a lot of girl friends who were Christians, Muslim whom were not able to influence my thought.

After 30 years of searching, I realized that heaven and hell is just in mind.

very late 30's

Answer 8

as i child i (think) i remember thinking the whole 'city in the sky' bit but the truth is now while i don't believe that anymore, i don't much think about it either....but i suppose it could be a spiritual state of being where you're reunited with your ethereal family and can feel the oneness with God

I'm 31

Answer 9

I am 68. Not very much. I long for it. I am sick and tired of this world.

Peace and blessings!

Answer 10

Yes, I realized it is a magical land far far away, where church people get rewarded for stuff they should do anyway.

Originally I thought it was for everybody who is good. Actually it is for people who are goofy and go to church.
