There's no literally heaven or Hell. Everything Religious has to be taken with faith even if you saw nothing and religion said it is there then you just gotta have faith and believe. If there was a literal heaven it would have been seen pr reached, so it is metaphorical 1 Like |

jaephoenix:well i'll be dammed! |
Re: Where Is Heaven,literally? by jaephoenix(m): 10:04am On Feb 25, 2023 |
falcon01:No joking. These are mental diseases. People say they see or hear stuff. These symptoms may be hallucinatory in which case they feel they actually experience such phenomenon, and they convince people who look up to them. Such experiences may be 'honest',in this case their brain tells them it happens. This may be natural (like a schizophrenic) or 'unnatural' in the case of usage of drugs like LSD, MSDA, meth etc. Or 'dishonest', in that they know it didn't happen but need the follower-ship or money 1 Like |

falcon01:exactly! since 2000 years ago Christ was crucified we have been living in heaven Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved(make heaven)? And he said unto them, Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. This refers to the many disciples who followed him before he was crucified. Few of them were saved after the crucifixion. Infact, the bible recorded just only 120 of them. Act 1:15 Let me tell you what heaven is! Heaven was just a transition from the old covenant to the new covenant. The resurrection of Jesus brought the new covenant which is heaven, this is the gospel truth. The op is one of the many religious scammers existing today that is turning religion a laughing stock |

paxonel:How are we living in heaven when we can't find ordinary food to eat 1 Like |
Re: Where Is Heaven,literally? by paxonel(m): 10:32am On Feb 25, 2023 |
jaephoenix:that is the scam they are scamming people, especially people of poor countries in Africa who are in search for food to eat. The op is a chief scammer beware of him Scriptures made us to understand that heaven is not about food or drinks. Heaven is about eternal life. Ofcourse if you want food you can always work for it, anyone can work for food you don't need to be a believer to do so But heaven is about restoring man back to the state he was when Adam and Eve was created, which is eternal life |

Re: Where Is Heaven,literally? by jaephoenix(m): 10:56am On Feb 25, 2023 |
paxonel:So what if we work for food and we still dont get it? Like some that die of hunger. Is it still heavenly? Do you think if Adam had not eaten the fruit, we'll all be alive? |

falcon01:Why |
Re: Where Is Heaven,literally? by falcon01: 11:21am On Feb 25, 2023 |
jaephoenix:how do you think all this came to been? Why are we humans the only ones building cars Houses, and guns? Why are we aware of ourselves and surrounding? Why are we? |
Re: Where Is Heaven,literally? by paxonel(m): 11:44am On Feb 25, 2023 |
jaephoenix:then we have failed to follow the right principle that ensure success ofcourse one can be in heaven and die of hunger if he is ignorant. Scriptures says my people perish because they lack knowledge. That is also applied in heaven! Luke 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. Read the preceding verses of this chapter and see the parable Jesus used to illustrate what happens in the kingdom of heaven, that if you don't work you may suffer we'll all be alive, there wouldn't have been anything called death. Initially, man was created to live forever. |

falcon01:Good question. The truth we don't know how we came here. Scientists aren't sure though a number of theories are around. Also evolution explained how we moved from unicellular to multicellular beings. Its not shameful to say I don't know, after all, there were many phenomena science didn’t know how they happened, but today, its common knowledge. Like lightning, droughts, floods etc. The ancient man thought it was caused by gods by science has dispelled all such nonsense. And science has already dispelled the creation stories of each religion But to say we were created, is wrong. Why? Many cultures and religions claim their favorite god created the world, but they all have a common theme and that is lack of evidence, and the fact that their holy books contain lots of lies, and contradictions. Which drastically reduces their credibility. |

Heaven’s location is based on a geocentric description of our world with a flat circular earth that has four pillars to uphold the firmament. The firmament stretches over the whole earth like a dome. The firmament consists of various wheels that turn carrying the fixed stars with them while the wandering stars (planets) have their own wheels. Rain comes when the windows ofthe firmament are opened. Above the firmament lies heaven. Of course, this is all nonsense created by relatively brilliant people. Apart from the whole geocentric view being wrong, you also have the false dichotomy of “heaven and earth”. The earth is very much part of the celestial and we have seen pictures of the earth from outer space were it appears as a dot of light just like the “fixed” stars and the “wandering” stars. Heaven is when and where people use and develop their intellectual capacity to reason and manipulate their environment to their benefit and for their comfort. Hell is living amongst people that have eschewed the use of reason. Earth is where it all happens. That tiny point of light is us, the “pale blue dot”

jaephoenix:to be sincere, the process how man was going to live forever before the fall of man, the bible didn't state that clearly, so i wouldn't know. But how man is living forever today, the bible clearly state that 1 Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up?(note : it is not saying how are the dead going to be raised up) and with what body do they come? ( it is not saying with what body are they going to come Obviously, when we die we will come back with a different body. With this, there is no fear of depletion of resources leading to ecological imbalance since the body is continually recycled through death |
