Howdy, my girl friend is questioning whether or not we go to heaven or some other place called paradise. I was hoping for a bunch of Bible quotes and Church Father quotes to help prove my point since the google search I did did not really come up with anything. Thank you!
 
1st place to start would be the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It has a section regarding heaven in part one. It should reference you back to the bible and to other writings of the Church.

If you have access to a concordance either offline or online, look up the word heaven.

God Bless.
 
The Jehovah’s Witnesses try to make a big distinction between heaven and paradise (which they think of as an Eden-type place).

But, like all languages, Greek does not have only one word to describe something. The New Testament uses four distinctively different Greek words which are typically all translated to English as “heaven.” None of these four words has a close English counterpart.

But a fifth word does have a close English counterpart, and most translators choose to translate *paradeisos *as “paradise” (although some translations use “heaven” for sake of consistency).

And Jesus often referred to Heaven as “my Father’s house,” not using ANY of the usual words.
