One of my concerns about the concept of heaven is that - it is described as a "place where there is no more mourning or crying".

However, what happens if a daughter makes heaven and the mum is thrown into hell ?.

Do you expect such daughter to be happy?

Besides, different religion with different ideas of "heaven". We stick to the one we know because the British brought their religion to us. If the Chinese had invaded us, we would all be majorly Buddhists and still defending Buddhist principles with such a passion and vigour.

smiley It is more than a concept it is concrete, and you should relax your thinking, God has it covered.

At the end of the day, God loves you more than your parents. God is love, this is why he came into the flesh and took the punishment we all deserved.

The daughter can pray for her mum and who knows. God thoughts are higher than our thought, as the heaven is higher than the earth.

What does Heaven Look like?
from the scriptures heaven is described as a place that has houses built with diamonds and previous stones,with roads paved with gold,wine and assorted food falling down at your command , singing of praise to God ,beating drums and blowing trumpets till eternity,,from this description heaven is just a gilded prison yard that the inmates will choose suicide or to die in hell after a couple of years singing and beating drums,the worst punishment is for the human soul to live forever
Re: What Does Heaven Look Like? by SeriouslySense(m): 11:58am On Jul 07, 2024
You have the wrong idea. Heaven is beyond that, it is freedom. The presence of God is that of Joy and it is incredible, God is love and awesome.

With God, we are happy and full of immesurable Joy. God lifts us up, and your soul is like an eagle. Your soul is now full and overflowing. It is the loving kindness of the most High.

In Jehovah witness doctrine they believe hell is not real and heaven is this very earth we are living in and they, Jehovah witness will inherit the earth as their heaven

But for me heaven is in your heart, how your heart is, is how your heaven will be

Biblically, heaven is divided into three places 1st, 2nd and 3rd

1st heaven, is the earth we are living in

2nd heaven, is the outer space the cosmos or universe biblically, is where demons live

3rd heaven, is where God live

So, the question should be where is the 3rd heaven?
this is all false. Jehovah witness never teaches this. All these are lies.

We tend to use our limited thinking without allowing the Creator to inspire us, or without being patient. But God wants friends, he wants brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, children, some things are mystery until that time.

What we need is to trust in the Creator, trust, because he knows all, and he is not just an infinitely wise Creator, the creator is love.

Describing Heaven or hell as if they are in the physical realms with roads, mansions and gold is the biggest miseducation of Christianity

I hope you are a Muslim? If not, no matter the good work that you did your reward is only on this earth.. you can't be rewarded with any good in the hereafter if you refused to serve/worship GOD the way you ought to.
In ISLAM, heaven is being described but at the end it was capped that we would see what ones mind can't imagine or comprehend.
May we all die as Muslims so that we can be in a perpetual enjoyment.
Love you all!
Die as Muslim?

People underestimate the level of stupidity of humans.
The only people that understand this are
1. World Leaders
2. Politicians
3. Religious leaders

The day Religion ends is the day human Stupidity reduces
As long as human remains Stupid. Religion will forever thrive.

Your pastor knows deep down in his heart that region is a scam.
That is why he can lie to you in the name of God Infront of large crowds.
And God not strike him.. you know whyhuh

Because God only helps those who personally seek him and gain wisdom.
As for the multitude sheeples that are ignorant
The ignorant must SUFFER!!!

I have done fake pastor in Uyo years years ago
And I never regret scamming the ignorant
God Will never strike me dead
Bible said the ignorant MUST SUFFER for their lack of knowledge.
Since they refuse to gain wisdom, I'm here to stea their money via tithe and make them suffer.

So I will continue scamming sheeples
Since they refuse to gain knowledge.
God has given me authority to deal with them

That's why a fake pastor can stand in front of 500 people and lie and do fake testimony to collect money from sheeples.
God will never strike him dead...No
Because bible has already said the ignorant sheeples MUST SUFFER for their lack of knowledge.
Haha, u are right. I was telling one sheeple exactly what you're saying here about a month ago, the sheeple was in so much pain to believe he's been lied to since birth. grin

You know that their imaginary heaven, its so much pain for them to realise they've been scammed all along, so they become sentimental.

I told the guy point-blank that majority of nigerian pastors are more atheist / agnostic / freethinking than you or I would ever. cheesy These people don't believe in God AT ALL. As in they are hardcore "unbelievers". cheesy But they just have to play to the gallery to keep milking the sheep.

Electrochemistry:
One fundamental and recurring pattern observable in our universe is evolution.
As smaller dwarf stars evolve into giant stars so do living things evolve from unicellular microorganisms into multicellular organisms.

When we observe closely we will suspect a graduation from none living things characterized by inability to maintain their bulkness to living things that are able to maintain their bulkness against forces of degradation. The presence of ammonium radicals in water signals the beginning of life form. Then virus which is regarded as the link between the living and the non living things.

The most complicated and sophisticated level of organizations is found in mammals of which homo sapiens is leading.

Now the major difference between homo sapiens and other higher mammals such as Chimpanzees, Orangutans, is intellect, i.e. ability to reason and acquire knowledge. This makes man the most evolved species in the world.

Now why is man so advanced and so distinct from other lifeforms? Because man has something that's not present in other lives.

Man is a tripartite being composed of the body, the soul and the spirit. The spirit of man is eternal. This means that whoever is born into this world is in the thrills of eternity because it can never die.

When a man dies his body decomposes like other animals but his soul and his spirit which we call the heart continues to live in the spirit world.

Now the idea of evolution continues in the spirit world. In the spirit world, the idea of evolution takes another form, you evolve not based on your level of organization but based on the content or the integrity of your heart.

The license to evolution in the spirit world is love. So the hearts that are full of love in it go to the higher heavens. those without love in it have to evolve before moving on to the higher heavens.


The concept of love was first mentioned and emphasized by Jesus Christ. He taught us about love so that we we can have the licence to highest heavens.
embarasseda
By highest heavens I mean the dwelling place of the divinity, the saints, the Seraphins, the Cherubins, the holy angels, and the Thrones.

This is where the most evolved lives live; God Himself being the perfect form of all imperfections.

Now in heavens there are angels with different hierarchies.

one
Angels

There are invisible beings with almost every perfection possible, who are always around us, who massively outnumber us, and who definitely outthink us! I’m not talking about aliens. I’m talking about Angels and Demons.

We learn from Scripture, Tradition and the official teaching of the Church that each angel is a person with intelligence and freedom. They are immortal creatures who are pure spirits possessing no physical body yet surpass in perfection all visible creatures.

In her diary St Faustyna writes of a profound experience with an angel: (630) Then I saw one of the seven spirits near me, radiant as at other times, under a form of light. I constantly saw him beside me when I was riding on the train. I saw an angel standing on every church we passed, but surrounded by a light which was paler than that of the spirit who was accompanying me on the journey, and each of these spirits who were guarding the churches bowed his head to the spirit who was near me.

When I entered the convent gate at Warsaw, the spirit disappeared. I thanked God for His goodness, that He gives us angels for companions. Oh, how little people reflect on the fact that they always have beside them such a guest, and at the same time a witness to everything! Remember, sinners, that you likewise have a witness to all your deeds.

two
There are three levels or hierarchies of angels and three groups within each hierarchy – making nine categories or choirs of angels

1. The Seraphim, the Cherubim, and the Thrones.

2. The Dominions, Virtues, and Powers.

3. The Principalities, the Archangels, and the Angels.

The mission of the first and highest hierarchy of angels, the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and the Thrones is to contemplate the infinite goodness of God and the proper goal of all things. The Seraphim communicate the love of God, the Cherubim communicate the truth of God, and The Thrones communicate the purpose of all things to the next hierarchy of angels.

The Angels closest to God are the Seraphim. Their name means “the burning ones” or “the Angels of Fire” because God is a consuming fire of love. The Seraphim are set on fire by the love of God which they communicate to the others. Isaiah Chapter 6 describes the Seraphim: I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

We literally join the Seraphim in their hymn of praise in each Mass right before the consecration of the Eucharist because we are entering the presence of Almighty God with them.

The Cherubim excel in their knowledge of God. St. Thomas Aquinas speculated that Lucifer was probably a Cherub rather than a Seraph, since the burning love of Seraphim is opposite to pride, whereas great knowledge of truth, which the Cherubim possess, can more easily lead to pride.

three
The second hierarchy of Angels is the Dominions, Virtues, and Powers

Their mission is to govern the material world, control the elements, the seasons, the stars, even the sun and moon – in short, all aspects of nature.

The idea of the Angels controlling the turning of the seasons or the rotation of the planets may sound farfetched to some, but keep in mind what we can call the “more the merrier principle” with His Church. The more God gets his creatures involved in His divine actions, the more his creatures are made holy, and the more God is given glory. Whenever free creatures use their freedom to cooperate with God in the fulfillment of his divine plan, it is both pleasing to God and a grace for the creature.

Every parent knows it is more satisfying when the child cleans his or her room on their own, even though the parent certainly can do the cleaning by their own efforts. The same is true for God. He could put forth all the efforts necessary for the governing of creation on His own and by His own power, but it gives him more glory when his angels cooperate in the fulfillment of God’s will.

For this reason, St. Thomas nicknamed the Angels, “God’s secondary causes” because God chooses to do all possible in his creation through the intercession of His Angels.

four
The third or lowest hierarchy of Angels is the Principalities, Archangels, and Guardian Angels

They have a three-fold mission:

I. To defend us against Satan and the demons – as St. Michael does.

II. To help us know the will of God – as Gabriel does when announcing God’s plan to Mary and telling Joseph to take Mary as his wife and to escape when Herod tries to kill the baby Jesus.

III. To heal us – as St. Raphael does

The Principalities, as the “spiritual generals,” have the greatest authority of this lowest hierarchy in carrying out God’s plan during the spiritual warfare for souls that takes place each and every day of our life on earth.


The Archangels are leaders and messengers of great importance in the world of man.

These Angels preside over a multitude of peoples and also deliver the most important messages to humanity.

The last group of Angels are the Guardian Angels.

The Catechism teaches that from its beginning until death, every human person is surrounded by the watchful care and intercession of a Guardian Angel.

"Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life."

I wonder if my Guardian Angel would be willing, in the evening, to review my day with me?

five
We are making a big mistake if we live as if angels do not exist

Dr. Mark Miravalle, in his book Time to Meet the Angels, shares in the insights of a mystic who relates what Jesus wants us to know about the Angels

My children, there is so much talk of the enemy and the enemy is so glorified in your world, that many souls forget that heaven is far and away more powerful than the pitiful band of bitter ones who serve darkness. These want only your misery. Conversely, the unlimited number of good and holy servants, want only your joy and safety. But your prayers are necessary to mobilize all of this power. In these times, many souls spend time with darkness through their activities and recreation. In doing so, souls are inviting the enemy’s companionship. If souls do not invite our companionship, through prayers and requests, we do not force ourselves. So surround yourself with all that is Light and the enemy will avoid you. Ask for an honor guard of My angels and you will be enveloped in powerful beings from heaven who will insure that you complete your missions in safety. Children, you are God’s little creatures. You will not be abandoned.

Without telling a lie and swearing with the bible and in the name of God Almighty who can take my life right now if I lie---Heaven is like an ancient Celestial Church of Christ aka Cele.

In heaven Electricity hasn't been generated yet because people there are less scientific. I saw heaven and the book of Revelation reveals the future of heaven too.
Because people in heaven could not generate electricity, there are SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS in every heavenly rooms for people to see. The candles are fuelled with threads like the ones in earthly kerosene stoves.

In heaven there is no technology to invent air freshener. So they make use of offensive smelling incense like the ones used by CELE people on earth. The smell of these incenses make people to be very hyperactive in heaven, so they can sing, clap and praise God Almighty non-stop.

In heaven there is no inventions like Aeroplane or Helicopters, so they make do with horses. There are different horses in heaven. Black horse, white horse, etc. They are all in the book of revelation. The biggest of the horses is the one specially prepared for Jesus to ride to the earth to blow the trumpet on the day of rapture. I am sure the missiles of the earth can't kill the horse.

If you make it to heaven, you will think you travelled back in time to very ancient days of our ancestors, like 60,000 years back because there is no computer to record information or take videos. What we have are scrolls. They have billions of scrolls in heaven where they wrote the names of everyone. But only one of the scrolls contain names of good people. It is called the BOOK OF LIFE. The pen they used to write those names is made up of turkey feathers and red ink made of blood.

If all these things I say up here is not the accurate picture of heaven, let the Almighty God take my life before the end of today. Amen in Jesus name!!!
