This is an Ecumenical thread. No antagonism.
Our glorified bodies will be perfect. All the women will be beautiful and all the men will be handsome. The perfect age is 25 when anabolism and catabolism are equal and in balance. The gifts that God gives us on earth are but a shadow of what we will experience in Heaven. While some believe that men and women will have platonic brother-sister relationships, I believe that we will be united with our soulmates and experience spritual, emotional and intimate joy and bonding beyond anything in this world. We will be unable to sin; to have sinful thought or to commit sinful deeds. Our minds, bodies and souls will be glorified and perfected. Our most important relationships are with God and with each other. Jesus said that if you remember only one thing, remember to love the Lord your God with all your heart and love one another as love yourself. There are three types of love, eros, filial and agape. All three are united in Heaven.
About a year later, during a conversation about the ordeal, Colton suddenly started saying stuff that defied logic, talking about heaven in such a way that indicated that he'd been there. Over the course of the next year or two, Colton described things Heaven's appearance, what Jesus looked like, how “really, really” big God is, and a whole bunch of other things about Heaven that were Biblically true, but that he'd never been taught.
You might want to give it a read. I was skeptical, but after reading it, I believe this little guy (who is now 10 or 11) really saw Heaven.
I believe Heaven is better than any of us could ever describe. I feel that all sicknesses, weaknesses etc... are cured. Everyone is peaceful. If you enjoyed the beach, you are on the most beautiful beach ever imagined. My dogs and cats will be there and I will meet up with family, friends, and meet new people. Joy is abound. Plus, no calorie food. You can eat whatever you like and you never gain a pound (funny but wouldn’t it be nice). You understand all and everything that has happened/will happen will make sense. I also think beautiful music will be playing. Just a thought.
Heaven will be something beyond out earthly comprehension.
To this point: “Scripture does not picture those in heaven sitting around on clouds, but it does picture heaven as being “up” from an earth-bound perspective, so clouds are a natural image for artists to supply.”
IMHO, “up” was a way to explain to a bunch of sheperds a direction in another dimention to an atropic universe, which being atropic is also endless. In one direction in this dimension is Heaven. In the opposite direction is Hell, an entropic universe of pain. And one that will end. Badly.
Heaven will be Peace, Understanding and Love of God.
And I hope everyone of goodwill will be there.
Can you imagine a place without wars, turmoil, sin, danger, suffering, hunger, anger, gossip, ill will, bills to pay, solicitors, etc.?
I am looking forward to being with Our Lord and Savior.
