Does the Bible say there is a heaven?

Does the Bible say there is a heaven where believers go after they die?

I don't believe that we go to heaven when we die. I believe we go to Paradise. And, I believe that Paradise and the Garden of Eden is one and the same. Then the new earth will be created and we will dwell there, enjoying full fellowship with the Lord forever.

Ive never understood the purpose of a New Earth if no one is living there

 

[Benoni]

Ecclesiastes 12:7
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Your soul needs to be changed but your spirit is that little piece of God in all of us.


Heaven is the abode of God; God dwells everywhere; but the most important place God dwells is with in you.

Hey Benoni, I agree! It's our essence, our very being, our soul that requires transformation.

Bingo. The ultimate destiny of the believer is to inhabit a transformed and renewed earth.

I don't get it. You mean that "spirit" and "soul" are two different things?

Psalm 139:8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

Mark 12:25
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Man IS a living soul. The spirit is just one part of man on this earth. It is the spirit that will live on once the Earth has turned to dust.

 

[Vic C.]

Yes, as per Eccl. 12:7, the spirit returns to God, who gave it.

 

[Orion]

What does God do with all the spirits when they return?

When are these spirits created?

 

[Vic C.]

We are straying off topic here, people.

 

[Benoni]

Amen... Thank you

Hey Benoni, I agree! It's our essence, our very being, our soul that requires transformation.
