I broke this paper into 2 parts and will post the 2nd part in a couple days. Also, I left the footnotes in and italicized them so anyone who wishes to see the sources can do so.
I think the great question to look at is how we view Heaven. Is it strictly a spiritual realm, or is it also physical. Any thoughts?
I would say neither, but something we cannot fully grasp in this life.
I imagine everyone has heard the analogy, but it’s said we have as good a grasp on what life after death is as a baby in the womb has of life after birth.
