heaven consists of...

what does the christian heaven consist of? i mean do christians each have a different theory of what heaven is or is there some heaven which you all believe in? do we all turn into souls or summit?

 

Interesting to see threads on heaven for once, rather than hell.

To me, heaven is a state of mind, the state of enlightenment or Christ-consciousness. The Kingdom is within...

 

My interpretation of heaven is the garden of eden.

Matt

 

::nods:: My view is quite similar...

 

Heaven is what the believer makes it. What we bind here, is bound there. What we loose here, is loosed there.

 

I kind of like the What Dreams May Come interpretation of Heaven.

 

I like to think of heaven as half what you make it, half this world without assholes.

 

Heaven is a real place, not a state of mind. The Bible can't describe Heaven much because there are things there that our words can't describe. I've heard it explained as like telling a blind person who's never seen what it's like to see.

 

It may be a real place but as it may well not be in our 4Dimensional perception of the external universe doesn't mean it can't be a state of mind.

Minds exist in a kind of real place, as well as inside your skull.

 

in heaven there is no principalities of darkness
no physical atachments such as those we feel as humans
heaven is a real place for sure
