Where the hell is heaven?

Question

Is heaven a mystical place or an actual place . . . or . . . is it no place at all, but rather, a little bait to get converts?

I didn't ask "WHAT" heaven is, but where. Also, can anyone tell me where it is, without quoting from the fallible bible?

Answer 1

Ok, people never seem to get this straight, i'll assuming your starting from downtown atl.

You take i-20 east till it merges with 285, you take that south till it hits 85, then you go south, south south, till you hit Florida, follow it till you hit the keys, jump on a cruise, and you are there baby ohhhhhhhhh yea!!

Answer 2

Now, Heaven is the intermediate Heaven and is a place where Jesus is preparing mansions for His followers. But, when Jesus restores and refurbishes this earth at His Second Coming, Heaven (The New Jerusalem) will be brought down to this restored earth which will be Heaven for true christians forever! Paradise will indeed be restored! Read Revelation if you are serious. God bless you

Answer 3

Some are of opinion that heaven is everywhere, as God is everywhere. According to this view the blessed can move about freely in every part of the universe, and still remain with God and see everywhere. Everywhere, too, they remain with Christ (in His sacred Humanity) and with the saints and the angels. For, according to the advocates of this opinion, the spatial distances of this world must no longer impede the mutual intercourse of blessed.In general, however, theologians deem more appropriate that there should be a special and glorious abode, in which the blessed have their peculiar home and where they usually abide, even though they be free to go about in this world.

For the surroundings in the midst of which the blessed have their dwelling must be in accordance with their happy state; and the internal union of charity which joins them in affection must find its outward expression in community of habitation. At the end of the world, the earth together with the celestial bodies will be gloriously transformed into a part of the dwelling-place of the blessed (Apoc., xxi). Hence there seems to be no sufficient reason for attributing a metaphorical sense to those numerous utterances of the Bible which suggest a definite dwelling-place of the blessed. Theologians, therefore, generally hold that the heaven of the blessed is a special place with definite limits. Naturally, this place is held to exist, not within the earth, but, in accordance with the expressions of Scripture, without and beyond its limits. All further details regarding its locality are quite uncertain. The Church has decided nothing on this subject.

Peace and every blessing!

Disclaimers first....I am not an atheist. I also have a sense of humor, and looking at nature around me, I think God does also--why else would he have created the platypus?? That said; my take on "Hell"--I think that if we mess up bad enough we go through "hell". I'm still trying to sort out what that means to me; but in my own imagination, I see "hell" as our own personal "worst nightmare". Forget the "fire and brimstone" thing, I sure hope I do not spend eternity behind a bottle return counter with an endless line of people possessing badly rinsed-out, stinky returnables which I have to touch and then (gasp) pay the people for the favor!!

Answer 5

It's all part of the madness, the psychosis they call Xianity.
Just as The Invisible Sky Critter not exist, nor does the HeavenHell concepts; they're constructs put together by scammers, parasites and leeches operating The Greatest Sting in the history of the world - deluding the gullible that there are invisible things that watch us 24/7.

Answer 6

It's bait. There is no such place. Heaven and hell are part of the Christian mythology based in their book of fairy stories called the Bible. Just concentrate on having a good life.

Answer 7

The New Jerusalem
Revelations 21: 1Then 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. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "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. 4He 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."
5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

The New earth will be heaven. Right now heaven is above us

Answer 8

IT'S BAIT!
well obviously heaven isn't actual place but a mystical place that people want to believe so that there can be explanation of where the soul of a dead person reaches. It all depends if your religious - catholic. It's kinda hard to explain, but yeah.

Answer 9

I have a sneaking suspicion it is a state of mind and not really a physical place at all.

May i say what a wonderfully phrased question!

Answer 10

It's totally bait. It makes people feel better about their miserable lives on earth. I think if more people accepted that there was no heaven, they would be more determined to live their lives to the fullest while they have the chance.
