Is heaven a physical place? Could you go there in a space ship or airplane? I know it sounds silly.

If the answer is no, where did Mary and Jesus go during the assumption and ascension respectfully?
 
it’s a real place, many examples and witnesses to the rise of Jesus into heaven. Can you get to heaven on a spaceship…no. like earth, i come to think heaven has its own rules, one your soul is not your body, the only person to go to heaven with a body is jesus and mary,

but anyone who has gone to the door of heaven has died. Maybe god created heaven in a phased universe, as ensitin predicted, our rules and physical properties can’t cross over.

god created earth and the universe, I do know that we can’t go to heaven in our form, at least not a normal person. we can’t see angels but angels are all around us, is this because we can’t see them because they are not on our plain who knows, that is the great mystery of death and you must accept that we won’t know until one day we pass over.

from what i can tell, the other side sees all that goes on here, angels can interact with us (maybe because god created special rules for them) and that our soul is a energy but still us when we cross over, we know who we are, but dont have the same feelings eg no pain, no sorrow.

i hope that helps, its my thinking nothing more 🙂

…have you ever watched sci flics/shows where they portray creatures existing in a parallel reality but just outside of our time and space?

That’s the best way to describe Heaven… it is a spiritual reality as far removed from us as the sun… yet a place where spiritual beings exist performing acts similar to ours:
8 and when he took it, the four living creatures prostrated themselves before him and with them the twenty-four elders; each one of them was holding a harp and had a golden bowl full of incense which are the prayers of the saints. 9 They sang a new hymn: You are worthy to take the scroll and to break its seals, because you were sacrificed, and with your blood you bought people for God of every race, language, people and nation 10 and made them a line of kings and priests for God, to rule the world. 11 In my vision, I heard the sound of an immense number of angels gathered round the throne and the living creatures and the elders; there were ten thousand times ten thousand of them and thousands upon thousands, 12 loudly chanting: Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing. 13 Then I heard all the living things in creation – everything that lives in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, crying: To the One seated on the throne and to the Lamb, be all praise, honour, glory and power, for ever and ever. (Apocalypse 5:8-13)
…and we even have a passage that points to the Spiritual being revealed and existing within the temporal or is it that the temporal is morphed?:
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. 3 Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. 4 He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’ (Apocalypse 21:1-4)
…so… Heaven is a place… but no, no spaceship can get us there… good thing too because the multi-millionaires could well cause Heaven to become “organic” and out-price most, if not all, of the lower classes! :winter:

Maran atha!

I believe Heaven is a real physical place like another planet but too far away for man to get there no matter what technology we have. It also could be in another dimension but still a physical place. 👍 But yes I believe Heaven is a physical place with trees and nature and animals etc.

Good ideas, I agree with that thought. Angels are made to be able to interchange dimensions while we are made to only see and live in this dimension. We can’t see angels because we can only see within our own dimension. But angels can make themselves visible to us if they want to, they can interchange dimensions. 👍 I believe we will have bodies like angels after death where we will have bodies that are interchangeable with both dimensions.

The ascension of Christ until a cloud received Him out of the sight of the Apostles was a phenomenon sufficiently clear to impress upon them some higher state of being. As a matter of fact He ascended only relatively to those who were watching Him. Our notions of ascent and descent are regulated by direction from the center of the earth. To the man on the opposite side of the earth the direction taken by Christ would be in the direction of descent. However, relatively to those watching Him, Christ ascended, and after a few moments they found themselves looking at a cloud. How far did Christ go? He merely allowed His supernatural qualities to assert themselves, and His body took upon itself in nature independent of all earthly conditions and limitations. He simply passed into another state of being, even as the thoughts incorporated in these words on paper are passing into another state of being within your mind as you read. And His new state at once renders useless all calculations based upon visible qualities as we know them. You might just as well try to measure abstract beauty with a wooden ruler. Christ’s glorified body is not subject to conditions of which we have experience.
