The Bible doesn't give a literal description of Heaven. There is a coded description found in revelations, but I think the best description in the Bible is "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him"

I’ve experienced heaven several times during the course of my life.

I’ve never experienced hell, although I have experienced undesirable situations.

Both of these things are totally subjective and therefore are dependent on the judgments of the person who is deciding whether certain situations qualify as heaven or hell.

The idea of a ‘perfect heaven’ is an impossible idea, even though many people delude themselves into believing that such a state of being can exist. All they are really doing is imagining a place where they judge everything to be a good experience. If they are unhappy in any way, then it wouldn’t be perfect.

In other words, all a ‘perfect heaven’ would really be, is a place where even the most extreme spoiled brat would get their way. A ‘perfect heaven’ = ‘perfect happiness’. If a person wasn’t perfectly happy then they could hardly claim to be in a ‘perfect heaven’.

In the biblical heaven, people are supposed to be servants to God and doing God’s will. That implies that there are things that need to be done (i.e. things that are less than perfect). After all, if everything was perfect than what would need to be done?

Clearly the Heaven of the Bible cannot be a perfect place. In fact, according to the Bible there was a war in heaven when Satan confronted God. Supposedly 33% of the angels followed Satan. The biblical heaven clearly can’t be all that perfect if an entire third of the angels living there were unhappy with it.

That pretty much flies in the face of any idea that the biblical heaven or the biblical God are ‘perfect’. Clearly there are some major problems with the whole picture. Something has to be a lie. It makes no sense to talk about a perfect God that 33% of his angels are unhappy with. That’s a lot of angels! For some reason they weren't happy with this supposedly 'perfect' God. Clearly it wasn't what they considered to be 'perfection'.

Revelation 21: 1

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

Heaven is no pain, no disease, no strugglee, happiness,love, joy and peace.

And you can not do any works to get you into heaven.....

The only way is through Jesus Christ

Last I checked "Hell" also known as "Gehenna" was near Jerusalem (the Hinnom gulch), metaphorically identified with the entrance to the underworld of punishment in the afterlife.

I don't understand the concept of Heaven. If there's just no pain and it's a fun place then that sounds good. But many people talk about "heaven" as if there is everything you would ever want there...

so I wonder, if you actually have everything you want what is there to look forward to?

ohwell

I guess it would be a place in which I finally would find the peace I'm struggling to find in this world, and it seems to be impossibe to ever reach.

But then again I do remember reading what a child said once when asked what heaven was like he said something like:

"Well in heaven they got a lot of puppies there and all day long you just play with the puppies and run with them and love then and they love you... but there's no poop."

That does sound pretty good I have to admit- lots of puppies but no poop.

I could use some of that action right now...

oh I forgot to say what hell is...

I don't believe in it as a place but I think hell is when you can't protect or care for your loved ones and bad things happen to them...

Heaven is when I can accept reality. Hell is when I try to change reality to suit myself. I have screwed up heaven so bad that it will never be the same.laugh

Heaven is something that seems to be sterile...a hospital operating room? i dont know. I think heaven for me would be enjoying my family and friends for eternity. Hell would be being alone and having everything burden me...and getting paper cuts.
