I have my own ideas of what I think heaven is but I've always wanted to ask church officials and people who have read, or herd, the bible if they can explain what heaven is according to the bible?

[pree007]

Heaven is a state of mind which you once reached ,cant disttinguish between hell or heaven

[Starman]

According to the Bible it's the spiritual realm or location where God and his angels reside. It was designed for spirit creatures, not creatures of flesh and blood.

1 Cor. 15:50-56


(DT. 26:15; 1 KINGS 8:30; PS. 33:13; ECCLES 5:2; ACTS 7:55; MT. 6:9).

So is that saying that we on earth will not join god in heaven , or that only our spirits will pass on, and if so are we meant to feel and experience happiness or will we feel anything at all? And also what of hell?

[Bluerose]

We get what we believe we will get. Think heaven and you get heaven think hell and you get hell.

[Starman]

so is that saying that we on earth will not join god in heaven , or that only our spirits will pass on, and if so are we ment to feel and experience happiness or will we feel anything at all? and also what of hell?

The Bible speaks about humans gaining entrance into heaven administrative purposes. But they must become spirits first. Happiness will be experienced in heaven.


Happiness

Excerpt:
Heavenly Happiness

This is the happiness of the perfect environment and perfect conditions of heaven which will accrue to every believer. There is a special blessing and happiness in heaven for believers who matured spiritually in time and received wonderful blessings from God during their lives. Because of this, they will also receive even more wonderful rewards in heaven. These heavenly rewards are over and above the normal grace happiness of heaven which will be possessed by all believers in eternity as seen in Jude 1:24 and Ephesians 1:18.

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- (Jude 1:24)

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, (Ephesians 1:18)

According to the Bible it's the spiritual realm or location where God and his angels reside. It was designed for spirit creatures, not creatures of flesh and blood.

1 Cor. 15:50-56


(DT. 26:15; 1 KINGS 8:30; PS. 33:13; ECCLES 5:2; ACTS 7:55; MT. 6:9).

The senior pastor in our church told me this
"You live in a body, you possess a soul, and you are a spirit."
So spirit creatures is an apt term, because it is soul and spirit that travels to heaven or hell upon release from the body, while our hopefully beautiful corpse is left to rot.
Heaven is a place where you will always feel gods prescence, you will be able to gaze upon his face, and feel his indescribable love, always, and be able to serve him for eternity in heaven.
Hell is a place where god is completely cut off from you.
