Today,
reply is shared on heaven as the sphere of eternal life generated by
active presence
and divine fullness wherein divinity exists in continuous communion
with created beings and living creatures through their endowment of
imparted spirit from the makeup of GOD. The character, process and
substance of heaven proceeds directly from GOD, therefore, heaven is
a place of immortality, incorruptibility, peace, perfection, and
highest praise. Men do not die and go to heaven for rest so much as
they go to heaven for further service to divinity and additional
sacred works. One of the fighters in the “Yahoo! Answers” public

Can
someone explain heaven?
Im
Muslims and I'm confused! So when we go to heaven we were told we
could get whatever we want but dosent that make us greedy? We would
just want more and more! I mean dosent god teach us to be thankful
and not be greedy? So why is he giving us things we don't need in
heaven? And why would we want anything? I mean expensive cars and
money have no value ! Thier worthless! So what's the point in all
this? Can someone explain? I'm confused!
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: In my Father’s
house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:
2-3, King James Version, KJV)

“ Anomymouscutie”,
be encouraged! Here are some thoughts I can share as a Christian
believer that you may find useful when considering the meaning of
“heaven” or “paradise”:
Where
heaven is described as an aspect of sacred knowledge within a
structured belief system (i.e., catechism; doctrine; sacred studies;
testimony) there are multiple practices that preserve and selectively
share the original materials, mysteries, and sacred substance
embedded within the patterns and themes that appear. Included may be
the character and makeup of divinity; the expression of divine
personhood, prerogative, eternal purpose, and sovereign will; the
provision of correction, punishment, or rewards through a process of
divine judgment; and alternative descriptions for the primary spheres
of life (e.g., a realm of the dead; a realm of celestial presence,
beauty, and perfection; a realm of torment, etc.).
2.
Sinners who turn to GOD for forgiveness and change in their lives
through Christian belief are encouraged to receive a fresh endowment
of the same life essence (i.e., breath; spirit; word) that was
imparted from the makeup of GOD to reside within the first male and
female (Adam). Where one becomes “born again,” they also must
“grow up again” and become mature/ripe for harvest from the earth
by the Lord at his coming. Inseparable aspects of full divinity are
implanted as divine DNA, so to speak. Included are faith,
forbearance, holiness, joy, longsuffering, lovingkindness,
righteousness, wisdom, and wrath against sin.
3.
There are many descriptions of heaven that are not from the major
belief systems for sacred knowledge; and heaven will not be
manifest as an expression of sanctified person, divine substance, and
sacred process. In folklore, tradition, and creative arts, heaven
may be spoken of using terms of the life process for mankind on the
earth that are carnal, competitive, political, and social. Their
thoughts and understandings are suited to frameworks for finite human
qualities and tools such as appetite, sensation, emotion, and mind.
The broad mix of ideas and themes that may appear does not always
bear fruit, edify, or nourish correct understandings of divinity.
Included may be lofty themes of time and space, measurable dimension
and science, sorcery, superstition, witchcraft, and the occult.
4.
Consider the following that uses language from the Bible to present
the theme that heaven is a place where the Creator and the created
both can exist having a relationship uninterrupted by the operations
of sin: Isaiah 57: 15-21, King James Version (KJV): 15 For thus
saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is
Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that
is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the
humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 16 For I will
not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit
should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 17
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I
hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his
heart. 18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him
also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. 19 I create
the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far
off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and
I will heal him. 20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21 There
is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 5. 1st John 4: 1-6, KJV: 1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they
are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit
that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of
God: and this is that spirit
of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even
now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than
he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak
they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he
that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.) Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
