Hahaha. Suddenly and conveniently as usual it becomes symbolic.
Any Bible passage that gets challenged with objective reasoning always becomes 'symbolic' or 'Figurative', no longer actual or real. Funny people

Every concept has a gate and gatekeepers.

Grow up. It's not that deep.

And no, I will not educate you on who gatekeepers are either.

If you cannot have beyond the first level of thoughts, you should go back to primary school.

Because at some point you'd get pissed of singing to a Jewish god forever and ever that you'd want to escape from such a narcissistic entity's celestial North Korea. This entity therefore built gates to keep you in

Living Bible
11 And God will open wide the gates of heaven for you to enter into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I started with this bible chapter because I am awed that heaven will need a gate. or are we bringing our human bias into the Bible.
1, what is the need of a gate in heaven?
why does hell need a gate, do people run away from hell, I am confused
English Standard Version
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
I was told that the angels can fly, I was thinking heaven will be a walled with out gates.

Jesus (Michael) lived all his life in heaven before coming to live with humans for less than 34 years, as the word of God {John 1:1} he knew the best way to help us grasp heavenly things. {John 3:12} 99% of what he said about heaven and spirit realms are symbolic including lake of fire and other stuffs that Churchgoers takes literally! smiley

IMAGINE SINGING AND PLAYING FLUTES AND TRUMPETS FOR ETERNITY.
NO OTHER ACTIVITIES LIKE WATCHING BBN, GOING FOR A WALK AT A PARK, PRACTICING A DANCE OR GOING TO VISIT FRIENDS.. OR EVEN TAKING A NAP. IT'LL BE STRICTLY THE SAME ENDLESS CYCLE OF PRAYING AND BOWING TO GOD FOR EVER AND EVER. THIS IS STUPID. WHAT KIND OF A PLACE IS THAT??

Because many will lie on the floor to beg for forgiveness when it is too late. Evil doers won't even see the so called HEAVENS GATE.

The same way you can't comprehend why some folks will get 72 virgins in heaven for cleaning the world of "infidels".

Hope it makes sense to you now.

Firstly, how did you come about this reasoning?
Secondly, the Lord who gave you this brain to know what to do for relaxation will certainly know how to treat his people to relaxation picnic.
Thirdly, in His wisdom if singing and playing flute will be the best form of relaxation for his redeemed ones for all eternity, so be it.

There is joy in heaven.

There would be no more sorrow.

All kings and righteous people will bring their glory in it, meaning it won't be a boring place.

It's also better than to be burning forever in the lake with burns with fire and brimstone for eternity.

As we know God cannot lie.

FROM NUMBERS CHAPTER 22.
20.
That night God came to Balaam and said, “If these men have come to summon you, go with them, but do only what I tell you.”

21.
When Balaam got up in the morning, he saddled his donkey and left with the Moabite princes.
God became angry that he was going. So the Messenger of the LORD stood in the road to stop him with his sword drawn.


YOUR GOD IS A PSYCHOPATH!

It's symbolic. It's like saying the USA is a major pillar of the UNO. Doesn't mean the USA is a literal pillar in a building. Or if one says Nigeria received the ambassador with open arms. Nigeria sure doesn't have arms in this context.

A gateless heaven will be a disaster in Trump's voice

I million boys, herds men with their cows shitting everywhere, Almajiris with dirty plates, area boys, agberos the types you see at the beach and many more stupid people will litter everywhere.

What will be the point if we get to heaven and it's still like what we are experiencing now. A gateless heaven in my opinion will be a disastrous disaster. That's my opinion, over to you broda Ritgheousness.

If it’s symbolic it therefore means Anything in the Bible can be symbolic. Maybe Jesus never existed and the whole story is symbolic too.
Re: Why Does Heaven Need A Gate by Dtruthspeaker: 4:09pm On Sep 18, 2020
It is meant to keep impurities and sins from the earth, out of heaven.

Remember, heaven (Spirit) and earth (flesh) where conjoined twins having Unlimited Access to each other without any restriction or gate because they were both Pure at the beginning but when man allowed Satan to join him and render him unclean, God Confined Satan to the earth (flesh)

And satan, like a virus, corrupts everything, so God quarantined and gated him to the earth thereby leaving heaven free from his evil activities.

Which is why we can only see hear from God clearly without any second voice Only in heaven (spirit) not on earth (physical).

It is exactly like a song says "shut the door, keep out the devil"

Or maybe when we say Hitler killed more than 6 million Jews we may conclude that since the statement is symbolic and it's not that Hitler literally went about shooting and stabbing Jews all over the place, then anything about the Third Reich can be symbolic. Maybe Hitler never existed and all the story is symbolic, right?
