We know what is in the Bible, we know what tradition tells us, we know what we can reason. Yet God has left us with mysteries.
Tell me, how big is heaven and where is it? When we are resurrected in body and spirit, what form will our bodies take? That of our youth, out old age, or something else? If we lost a finger or limb in life, will it be reunited with us? What exactly did Jesus mean by “today” when He spoke to the second thief on the cross? Does Genesis 1 mean that heaven is under the sea, or is it surrounded by water somewhere else? Given that our bodies will be resurrected, will we need to eat in heaven or will our bodies be somehow different than in mortal life so that they will not require food? Why or why not? Please answer these questions directly, based on your particular theology, without incorporating statements about your opinion of Catholicism into your answer.
Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
This is pretty simple stuff...The problem most people have with these passages is believing them...
These Scriptures say God created heaven and above this solar system, there is a great expanse of water...This body of water is referred to as the 'deep'...Below heaven, God created a big rock...He created gravity on the rock and caused all the water under heaven to gather in the low places on this rock and He called it Earth...
God's throne is on the 'face of the deep'...
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Job 26:8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Job 26:9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Job 26:10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Job 26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Job 26:12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
Job 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
Job 38:30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
It's a sea...It looks like a frozen sea of glass...Crystal...
Rev 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
And neither you, nor the Hubble telescope will see up thru it because on this side, it looks like a one way mirror...
1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
I haven't even scratched the surface on the location of God's abode in Heaven...But you can bet it's in the scriptures...
And the answers to the rest of your questions are in the Scriptures...Odd that neither you nor your Magisterium can (or will) find them...
