If we cannot see the invisible world how possible to know if the pictures of heaven and earth are true?

Question

Well whatever/Whoever create the univers is miracle!

just studying oxygen is alot to learn, and talking about the solar system is too advance. Univerd is great

An example of this is the story of the blind men and the elephant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/blind_men_a...

In the story a group of blind men (or men in the dark) touch an elephant to learn what it's like. Each man describes a completely different creature, as one touches the tail, another touches the trunk, another touches the ears, etc. Each touches only one body part. "They then compare notes on what they felt, and learn they are in complete disagreement. The story is used to indicate that reality may be viewed differently depending upon one's perspective, showing how absolute truths may be relative", and how deceptive our view of "reality" can be.

Each person paints their picture of reality with a brush dipped in the pigments of the past.
— Jerry Andrus (Skeptical Inquirer, March/April ’95, p.7)

Everyone takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.
— Arthur Schopenhauer

Answer 1

Hi Wisdom,

We know that the pictures of earth are true because we live on earth & can see it. People have flown into outer space & have taken pictures of it. So we truly know what it looks like.

However, people have drawn & painted pictures of what they think Heaven looks like. These are not real but are works of the imagination.

If we want to "know" what Heaven looks like, we can read a description of it in the Bible. Read in the New Testament — the last book of the Bible is called Revelation. Here is where John describes what Jesus told him. It tells us what Heaven looks like, so we can picture it in our mind.

We will only truly know what Heaven looks like when we get there.

Answer 2

Sometimes it is best NOT to see an image in order for us to live up to the expectations of its hopeful existence. We do not know if a caterpillar knows it will turn into a caterpillar. Only man is the observer and knower of that. The caterpillar is. To him the butterfly state is the invisible world. It is only when he is transformed from the old caterpillar to the new butterfly that he is aware of his new existence. He cannot know it before hand. Nothing in his experience or life would foretell he will be one. Even if a butterfly told a caterpillar he would be a butterfly the caterpillar would not believe it.

Answer 3

It's so funny that usually it is the people who try to convince others that nothing the senses bring in is accurate, also try to argue that nothing can be known if it cannot be seen. What, we know nothing?

Answer 4

We just know in our hearts and know that it is true but I know how sometimes the world can seem like a fake place but it is what we make of it.

Answer 5

Answer 6
