The Christian Heaven by Nobody: 12:05pm On Aug 21, 2011
1) There will be joy in the presence of God.

Jude 1:24-25 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.



2) There will be rest in the presence of God.

Revelation 14:13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."



3) There will be peace in the presence of God.

Luke 19:37-38 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, saying: "'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"



4) There will be righteousness in the presence of God.

Psa. 85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.



5) The Christian inheritance is to be in the presence of God.

Col. 3:23-24 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.



6) There will be praise to God in the presence of the Father and the Son.

Revelation 19:5-9 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!" And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!'" And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God."



7) The focus in heaven will be toward the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!"



Note: False religions promote self-focus and self-indulgence in the life hereafter.

Qur'an 37:40-44 Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones. For them is a known sustenance: Fruits. And they are honored, in Gardens of delight, on thrones, facing each other.



Note: Christians can experience the presence of God now in the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

You also forgot to mention what will happen to all the old people who die a natural death of old age?

1)Will they live for the rest of eternity at whatever old age they die at. Be it 97 or 110 years old etc?

2)Or will they be magically returned to whatever age they decide to choose of their youth?

If the answer is number 2 please show me where it is written in the bible? wink

Grow up, desist from wrongheaded quoting of God's word. As humans, we can always find faults/criticism even when they ain't there. I think it's better to be quiet than uttering things we ain't sure of. We shall all give account of every idle words spoken. I just pray it will not be too late for you to discover the TRUTH. Does mere taking of the fruit of the vine make you a drunkard? How do we compare unleavened bread and fruit of the vine with gross indulgence and excessive transcendental crave for immorality in paradise as raised above I know you'll pick flaws in my comments because whenever a way 'seems' right to a man, he shuts his senses but to that way only, even if it leads to the den of the devil. There are answers to all the questions or confusions anyone might have about the Bible but the question is, will a subjective mind ever accept the answers? The responses and dispositions of the pharisees, scribes &saduccees to Christ provide an answer to the last question. Dear Lord, please have mercy on these ones, open their eyes as you have done in time past and let their body, soul & spirit not separate before they realise the truth. Now your turn, as usual, to haul back imprecations,
