Let's Talk about Heaven

On the sixth anniversary of Christopher Laurie going to heaven, Pastor Greg gives us this message about heaven. Colossians 3:1-2 tells us to set our minds on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Pastor Greg tells us practical ways we can do that, what heaven is like, what our heavenly bodies will be like, what we will do in heaven, and things that keep us "earthbound."

    Pastor Greg, Thank you for sharing your wisdom. My 21 year old son went to heaven just over a year ago. Your biblical perspective keeps me from going insane. I especially love how you say that “we’ll pick up right where we left off”. My son always said at bedtime , “I’ll see you in the morning”. My wife & I clutch onto God’s promises. I pray every day that today will be the day that we’re carried home to Jesus to be with our precious son again. Peter

    I hear u talk about your son and my heart goes out for u and your wife. My sister had a daughter who died and this child was just like my daughter. Me and my mother raised her together and when she died it was like my own child die. When they buried her they buried me it has left me hollow inside. I was so mad and I was left totally hollow I felt nothing. God's Love truly brought me through it. Every Holiday and every time her Birthday comes around its a very hard day. Much prayer for u my friend .

Won't for get the times we shared because we knew how much you care. I hated god for taking him from me. then 6 yrs ago I lost my husband suddenly too,. I felt cheated that I was stuck here alone and my best friend died and left me with the problems of his parents foreclosing on our home, I finally realized I had no friends that I could talk to. no family I could reach out to. I turned back to Christ. I'm an Ex catholic and I know nothing about the bible or how to use it so I listen to you and another gentleman on AOC and things are starting to make sense to me. My heart goes out to all that Have felt this kind of loss

    Glen, I can relate to your fear. Although I did not lose my 30 year old son to suicide, I was always worried I would. Although I know he was saved, when he returned from Afganistan, he was battling severe ptsd. I could not get him into counselling but I could get him to attend church activities with me. He still struggled with the carnal side still trying to ease the pain he carried. He died last year from injuries sustained in a motorcycle incident. But each time the enemy tries to whisper to me the same thing he whispers to you.... God interrupts and tells me my son is with him and is doing just fine. And...... he says he'll keep telling me as long as I need to hear it. Try to draw closer to God, he'll talk to you too.

    I have not found any scripture in the Holy Bible that says anyone is going to heaven. The gospel message is saved (eternal life) or perish. Man sinned and death came by sin. Death is a punishment for sin. Jesus took that sin to give us back life. At the resurrection we will be brought back to life. That is the story not going to heaven.

    We will not live in heaven forever. There will be a new earth. Revelation 21 New King James Version (NKJV) All Things Made New 21 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also, there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God, Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

    BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, Heaven could be worse than Hell, after you have settled into your new mansion in Heaven there are a few things to consider, first there is no sin and no temptation, there can be no sex because sex leads to temptation and sin, Earthly desires will not exist, no sex = no new children, the joys and dramas of children for young couples will be lost, everything will be pure, that means all books, TV, movies, plays etc. will have no crime, no sex, no sin, nothing irreligious at all, Entertainment cannot exist without these elements, imagine the Daily News, "Nothing happened at all today, everybody was happy, we all prayed, tune in tomorrow for more of the same" Of course there will be bible reading classes but after 100 years of these it would drive a person to drink, DRINK? sorry no alcohol in Heaven because booze leads to sin, fighting etc. There are no politics in Heaven, politics leads to dissension and unhappiness, Jesus makes all the decisions and you cannot disagree or question any of his decisions, Everybody in Heaven is deliriously happy and they all get along with each other, what seems perfectly right to one person cannot be an affront to another otherwise there would be disagreement, disagreement leads to violence, any arguments would be adjudicated by Jesus and the person at fault, unless he/she admitted their error would be banished to Hell. No sport in Heaven, sport is always full of controversy and conflict so no sport allowed, even a friendly non gambling game of poker could lead to problems. All these happy people in Heaven will continue to be happy for eternity, forever, perpetuity without any of the sinful activities that tempted them when they lived in the world, THINGS THAT WILL NOT EXIST IN HEAVEN - Sin and temptation, sex, new children, books, TV, movies, plays, alcohol, any stimulants, politics, disagreements, sport, pets. Of course there is always gardening, that is harmless but after 500 years or so this activity would become a little wearing, Tending the sheep? sorry no animals in Heaven, people only keep animals for food, warmth and companionship, everything in Heaven is provided by God, food, clothes etc. and if you were permitted to keep companion animals sooner or later these would bring you into conflict with neighbors and this won`t be allowed in Heaven, No fights, no wars and everybody is happy sitting down, weaving their baskets and singing hymns, what a wonderful future Christians look forward to and I am really sorry that I`m headed for Hell, WHOA!! Both places are as bad as each other, both would lead to insanity for the residents, WHAT HAVE WE GOT OURSELVES INTO ? ? ?

Blessed be.
