Christians: Do you believe in the earth being restored to a paradise by God?

Question

Please keep this to christians and yes we know athiests will say what God? so save yourselves the trouble please.

Suprisingly then who will own it if all good people go to heaven?

Answer 1

can not wait until that happens. also seeing our dead love ones here on earth after they are resurrected. everyone thinks they are going to heaven. if we where in heaven, why would Jehovah put us here on earth, to go old, get sick and die, just to go back to heaven. Jehovah does not lie and he is the only one that keeps his promise, we will gain what Adam and Eve lost for disobeying Jehovah when they where told not to get of the tree.

Answer 2

NO!
THERE WILL BE A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH!

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Revelation 21:1

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 21:2

AND CHRISTIANS MUST BELIEVE!

Answer 3

Daniel chp 7, Psalms 72, and many more places show that there shall be a paradise on this earth, as in fact Jesus himself told his followers in Matt 5:5 where he said that the meek should inherit the earth.

Those that quote Revelation about the new heaven and new earth should remember that is a book heavy in symbolism. As such, the new earth refers to a new righteous human society, and the new heavens does not mean a new universe, but means a new system of government for the new earthly society; namely, God's Kingdom with Christ as King.

Answer 4

The original creation was a good Earth. Romans 8 says that the Earth is in labor pains awaiting the revelation of the sons of God. II Peter says that God will melt the existing creation with fire and a new one will emerge--the Greek word for new is kainos=similar as opposed to something completely different. Yes, original restored.

Answer 5

Yes. I am eagerly looking forward to it.

Those quoting Revealtion should ask themselves "what is wrong with the present heavens?" For that matter what is wrong with earth other than some of the people on it who are ruining it? This teaching of a new heavens and new earth is repeated several times in the Bible
(See Isaiah 65:17, 2Peter 3:13) An in depth study of the Bible will help you to understand this.

Answer 6

According to the Bible there will be a new heaven and a new Earth.

Revelation 21:1
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

Answer 7

Yes.<><

Answer 8

.

The scriptures do not indicate that the earth as a whole was a Paradise since the lower life creation were created first before the garden of Eden, and able to exist outside the garden where they were brought to the man for naming. Adams was placed in the garden to cultivate and take care of it, not extended its boundary's. Genesis 2:8, 19

The garden of Eden may have been a special piece of property just for Adam and Eve.

If that was Gods purpose to make the earth a Paradise, he certainly was not able to accomplish it.

Answer 9

I believe that's what God is TRYING to do through His followers, but too many of His people just don't want it. <:( As you bring up in the details of your question, too many people don't want to think He exists.

Answer 10

I believe the earth will heal itself long after the humans have destroyed themselves.
