"Higher" place in heaven

[ralphinal]

I suppose. But if there is a place for God to sit, then it seems there is a place where GOd isn’t sitting. Besides sitting requires a corpeal being, a physical entity. I can’t see how a physical being can be everywhere at once, including in me.

From that point of view, I understand what you are saying. Now, we know that God is non-corporeal and has no body as we understand it. We see, however, that he has been “found” in different places, such as in the Burning Bush and the Holiest of Holies. Again, just because he was “there” did not diminish his omnipresence or his omnipitence. We also see talk about the “Face” of God or men seeing it. Again, we know he has no face.

I would say that the understanding of the Throne of God, from a spiritual sense, would mean being in the presence of God without any limitations from our physical bodies or our sinful nature. I would think that that would fit Jewish thought as well.

 

[zerinus]

Who will have a higher place in heaven Catholics or Protestants?

If each are rewarded according to their “works,” then it don’t matter whether they be Catholics or Protestants, does it? Whoever has done the greater “works,” will receive the greater reward, no?
