Greetings and Peace in Christ,

I don't know. But after a certain altitude the mind starts to play tricks due to oxygen deprivation. Maybe that explains a few things.

I Timothy 6:17 can be a problem, but I am a little more interested in 1.8 meters or less. In the valley of the shadow.

Ok mountain dwellers.
Being a lowland swamp dweller I have a question or two.
Revelation 4:1 kjv
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

What altitude was the believer when he heard the call?

Revelation 4:2 kjv
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

What altitude was the throne?

Hint:
II Corinthians 12:2 kjv
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

What attitude was this third heaven?

I am trying to raise the level of conversation.

If I just need to shut up let me know.

Looks like 610 meters is the absolute limit in Mississippi.

Take some time and get back to me.

Eddif,
Every verse of yours is speaking of heaven.
What altitude is heaven?
Heaven is not an altitude. Heaven is a place.
Maybe it's a different dimension.

There are some places on earth that look like heaven to me.
One is in the Dolomites, No. Italy...Pass Pordoi. 2,239 meters
One is in Switzerland...Jungfraujoch. 3,466 meters
(it's called the top of §Europe)
I live at 250 meters. Valley.

Remember the 3rd heaven. That leaves two other heavens.

One is here on Earth.
The kingdom of God.
I believe the second heaven is the sky.

Revelation 21:2 kjv
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

I will not try and be a final authority, but one heaven is where God is.

Where is the new mountain dweller?

Micah 6:8 kjv
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Psalms 46:10 kjv
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalms 23:6 kjv
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Our mental / spiritual attitude is stabilized in spite of our altitude, if we allow his Spirit to work in us. May be rod and staff, but he does the work .

If an ox can be compared to a bishop (parallel contexts), then altitude can be compared to attitude. You just have to have to have moderation in action no matter where you are. You might need an oxygen mask or be trained by living in high places to increase lung capacity.

One body, but different functions helping that body.

Romans 11:20 kjv
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

Our mind must watch its altitude / attitude.
Some translations: haughty, proud.

I live at 433 ft roughly 110 meters.

You said “maybe it’s a different dimension”
That is correct. God lives in a different dimension (in our terms), but when he created the earth - everything teaches who he is. Romans 1:20

Each of us have a function in the body of Christ, but to listen to another person talk it seems strange. A liver thinks of energy (glycogen production) and to speak of lung function seems really strange. Now here we are with several countries working towards unity of belief. When we say welcome, I wonder if we really know how many / much adjustment / adjustments have to be considered? In Christ the differences fade away.
