Is the Christian Heaven really HEAVEN? [Spirituality & Religion]

There are those Christians who paint a too simplistic a picture of Heaven as being an eternal bliss. Yet there are Christians who aren't so comfortable. They are deeply disturbed by the thought of their love ones not being in Heaven with them. Some are disturbed by the thought of them being in great eternal torment. So much for being created in Eternal Love.

There are some Christians who do not believe Hell to be eternal torment, still torment, just not eternal, after which their love one will vanish forever such as the Seventh Day Adventist. Yet this does not abate their worries, their nightmares.

And they ask, what is Heaven, if not without the people they care about? What is heaven with their loves ones in Eternal Torment? What is Heaven, when someone important, close to their heart is missing? Is heaven still Really HEAVEN?

This is very significant. There are Christians who readily resign themselves to God in regards to whatever obstacles come what may in their lives. And yet this will deeply trouble them. Other Christians might not undertsand, as perhaps all their love ones are Christians. Other Christians may be troubled but just trust in the Lord and keep praying. But I return to those Christians, who perhaps succeed in convincing themselves to just trust in the Lord and keep praying but nevertheless, and now and again are very disturbed by this. And it nags at them, to the point of giving them, not just nightmares, but great pain and sorrow.

God is loving and God is just. If we enter heaven it is only by God's grace and mercy.
You’ve got that right, sister. @NewBecky
