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.

The answers here are unbelievable. The answers to life are in the Bible. God never asked or expected us to guess about:

1. How to have eternal life.
2. What to expect when we die.
3. Heaven or Hell.
4. How to avoid Hell.
5. Why we need Jesus.

When people don’t know these things, they start twisting the Bible around and scripture and guessing wrong. Read your Bible for yourself and see what it says instead of jumping to conclusions that we have a monster God. If it had not been for God‘s grace and all the suffering he did on the cross to save us from hell, we would have all died in our sins and gone to hell. God said in His Word that only a fool says there is no God. There will be no excuses why people had to miss heaven. There is not one person on this earth that has to go to hell. But if that is what you choose, God will honor your decision. I hope and pray that people will see that God does not wish anyone to perish. If he had, he certainly would not have left His Heavenly home to die such a torturous death on the cross. He not only said he loves us, he proved it. Jesus died, so that we may have eternal life in heaven with him. He does not hate people. He hates sin, because it separates us from God and heaven. All Jesus asks is that we repent of our sins, so that we can go to heaven. And people act like that’s too hard.

Those who are in hell will know that their punishment is just and that they alone are to blame (Deuteronomy 32:3-5).
