Is heaven real... please help.?

Question

I'm 15 and honestly I'm starting to think he's not real. My whole family is Christian and I don't know how there going to take it. I've asked almost everyday for god to talk to me or show me he's there and I've gotten nothing. I think about churches and bibles and I think it could all be made up. I don't know what to think anymore, please help

Answer 1

Your not alone God hears you continue praying..the Bible provides compelling evidence that God exists. It encourages us to build faith in God, not by blindly believing religious assertions, but by using our “power of reason” and “mental perception.” (Romans 12:1)

The existence of an orderly universe containing life, points to a Creator.

As humans, we have an innate desire to understand the meaning and purpose of life, a type of hunger that can remain after our physical needs have been met. This is part of what the Bible calls our “spiritual need,” which includes the desire to know and worship God. (Matthew 5:3)This spiritual need not only gives evidence that God exists but also indicates that he is a loving Creator who wants us to satisfy that need.—Matthew 4:4.

Detailed prophecies in the Bible were written centuries ahead of time and came true exactly as predicted. The accuracy and detail of those predictions strongly suggest that they came from a superhuman source.—2 Peter 1:21.

Answer 2

some crazy *** people asnwering this question, they assert that yes theres a heaven but they ask you to have faith (wich is not a reliable path to truth) to believe and you will.



First of all i advice you to watch Atheist Experience Show on youtube for free, youll see atheists and christians arguing about the existence of god, that will make you more aware what you need to know about god.



And ill guarantee that you will be an atheist.

Answer 3

Nick, the truth is that every soul has to have some period of rest before rebirth and these periods of time vary. That rest is taken in a dream world called the Bardo and the Bardo is full of astral temples constructed by belief and imagination so you will find an Astral Temple for every religion and faith including Christianity. There is a Christian Heaven on the Astral Plane.

Answer 4

No, it was during the 1st century CE know to the few educated persons as the nice places where they lived if they were rich enough to live in a nice area. Hell was the opposite. Both have been placed in the Christian religion to make believers feel good and also to make them feel afraid so that they would remain members and continue to give their money to the church. There is no history of Jesus and many have said that he never lived, and my research showed that to be true. The NT is a false story. All made up by Romans.

Answer 5

Yes, Heaven is real. Now, whilst Heaven is not spoken of, nor is such a thing provable via science, it is spoken about in the Bible which is God's Word so we know that we can trust it.



The reason Heaven is not observable under scientific investigation would be because the realm of Heaven is of a supernatural, perhaps something that we might even call metaphysical, nature. Metaphysical, paranormal, supernatural, etc, things just go beyond the realm of science. But, nevertheless, Heaven is indeed very real, & ALL people will be there one day because God will reconcile ALL people back to Him via the wonderful gift of Universal Reconciliation.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Of course there are things we all haven't seen. But they do exist.

Answer 8

Usually mankind use people, animal, or stone to be they God and they write the God book through they own opinion. Heaven and hell is just a story that create from the mankind. If the Bible really the word of God than why the god so lousy tech the earth is flat.

Answer 9

No, it doesn't exist.

Answer 10

i'm sure that there are *many* different Afterlife Dimensions, in reality. *If* i understood Jesus accurately, i qualify for the 6th Heaven -- which *isn't* all that high up, really. (Paul speaks of the Third Heaven; Enoch speaks of the 7th Heaven; Alan J. Miller speaks of over 30 different levels of Higher Heavens.)



A few days after my mother died she spoke to me (telepathically) from where *she* was. She said, "I'm singing in the Light," and, "I *love* being in the Lap of Love!" i'd say that *she* viewed herself as being in whatever Heaven.



My late friend Victor Michael Lashewitz died somewhat over a year ago -- and i'd asked him to contact me, if possible, from where ever he went. He indicated it had been very *difficult* for him to get thru to me... but mentioned already having had a meal with Yeshua (Jesus to most) and looking forward to the next one. He mentioned angels. He said you could play *piano* there. A mutual friend told me that Michael communicated with *her* too -- saying he was taking classes in how to be an angel and that he was looking forward to *welcoming* her & me when *we* passed over.



When i was about age 15 i was looking for similar reassurance as *you* are looking for. i was 59 years old before it *finally*, undeniably, came thru -- to me *personally*! i was already 61 before Jesus started getting thru, telepathically. Just a *lot* of years with no *solid* verification -- but i kept seeking the Larger Spiritual Truths, living as spiritual a life as i was able to.



i'm confident that i'll transition to a "Good Place" after dying out of *this* dimension on *this* world. i won't necessarily end up where the *Christians* are -- because i'm *not* a Christian (but regardless, Jesus *is* a genuine *close* Friend of mine; *he* certainly doesn't require that i become a Christian! -- nor does the real Heavenly Father -- nor does the actual Holy Spirit -- Who has been *very* lovingly *close* to me since the Day of Epiphany 2004).



i went thru a period of serious *doubts* from about age 29 to 33 (my "agnostic" years)...



Simply keep seeking the Real Truth until you *find* it!



Otherwise i would only say: the more *false* things you *believe* about God, about Christ, about the Holy Spirit, all those *false* ideas establish a *barrier* to genuine *contact* with Them. Unfortunately the Biblical writers had a *lot* of false ideas about *all* of them (which are *in* the Bible, *falsely* being claimed as being "God's infallible Words"). Churches teach you that stuff (genuinely *not* knowing any better themselves) for 30... 50 years... and you've got to *unlearn* everything you've been taught that's *false* before the *real* connection can happen.



A close elderly friend -- Irene -- was a white *witch* -- who also contacted me from The Other Side where *she* was. She was amongst people who were total *snobs* who were snubbing *her* -- which irritated her immensely! She was writing her next book. She seemed to be in an afterlife dimension that seemed like it would've been a purgatory dimension. She was *complaining* about it -- but it didn't seem to be any worse than being here...



i've had a couple *dreams* of people being in an afterlife state that seemed to *me* to be *limbo*. i'm convinced that *that* afterlife dimension *also* exists (altho i was raised a Protestant -- many of whom teach that since those aren't mentioned in the Bible, they have to be *lies* that Catholics are promulgating). The Bible *hardly* mentions what life conditions are upon millions of other planets in this galaxy; that hardly means there *isn't* life on them. Just because the Bible doesn't *mention* limbo and purgatory (and thousands of *other* possible afterlife dimensions) hardly means they *don't* exist.



Just keep *seeking* -- until you begin to *find*! Then seek further to learn *more*!



i can understand believing it's all made up. But there are at least millions of us who have had *authentic* spiritual experiences -- and we're *not* making them up. It's commonplace now to dismiss us as being fruit loops, crazy, delusional... Actually it takes a bit of *courage* to stand *up* for what one has genuinely experienced in the *face* of so much mockery and diminishment -- from people who are really spiritually *blind*.

Answer 11

think of it this way

if You beilve in God and hes not rel then you spent your life thinking of something thats not real, big deal. people do it all the time.

if God is rel and dont beilve in him you have wasted your whole afterlife

Answer 12

I've had near death experiences, and yes, there is a heaven and a hell also. Read the Bible and don't give up on praying. God answers us in different and unexpected ways, and in his own time. Don't be afraid of death, just remain faithful to God and you will see the truth. Churches don't all follow God's laws and are not pure.

Answer 13

If you ask me the concept of God does not live in a church or mosque or synagogue but resides in people who believe. And you are free to do or not do so unless your society or surroundings do not allow freedom of thought, something like that is always the case in any place with too many people brainwashing each other.

Answer 14

If you are really only 15 then don't worry. As you grow up you will have many questions about religion. When I was younger my parents were good in that as an infant they took me to church and Sunday school but when I got to about your age allowed me to make my own mind up about religion. I chose to not believe. I think when you die that is it. However, that may not be for you. If you have a local church why not ask the local vicar or priest about your concerns then at age 15 I am sure you are mature enough to decide whether you believe what they tell you.

Answer 15

In the Bible, the word “heaven” has more than one meaning. For example:



Genesis 1:20 describes the creation of birds that “fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” In this case, the word “heavens” refers to our atmosphere, the observable sky.



Isaiah 13:10 mentions “the stars of the heavens and their constellations”—what we would call outer space.



The Bible speaks of God’s “dwelling place in the heavens” and says that there are “angels in heaven.” (1 Kings 8:30; Matthew 18:10) Note that the words “heavens” and “heaven” are not simply metaphors, but describe an actual place of residence. *



“Look down from heaven and see from your lofty abode of holiness and glory.”—Isaiah 63:15.



 Do all good people go to heaven when they die?



The Bible does not teach that the earth is merely a temporary home where we await death and a subsequent afterlife in heaven. The Bible makes clear that death was never a part of God’s original purpose for humans

Answer 16

Different religions describe heaven differently and the concept of God also differs.Most of the religions consider God as the creator.and sustain er of this world, who is omnipotent and omniscient .,You can experience God 's presence and blessings by following the procedure prescribed by these religions but meeting God with your physical senses may not be possible being limited..The ultimate aim of all religions is one and the same but the methods to reach that goal are different.. You can follow that religion that appeal to you most

Answer 17

Yes and I reckcon you should start on the journey as soon as possible.

Answer 18

this is very much a simple faith issue. if we have faith? then both heaven and hell exist. if we have none ? then they do not.

however religion do vary. some seek to offer a way of life and peace to others. others offer a way of life that may involve subjecting selves mentally and economically to that religion. often saying harming others whom do not adhere or are members of that religion.

each of us has to understand world around them and its complexity as we do with people and culture etc.

as we grow our values will change. as will our understanding. as long as we have the basic humanity to each other e.g. no harm or oppression to others. we can't go far wrong.

Answer 19

Yes Heaven is real and so is hell. I don't think God will speak to you in an audible voice, but His word the Bible has everything we need to be assured of eternity in Heaven. Jesus, God's Son came to earth to give His life to redeem mankind of their sins if they will only admit their sinfulness, Make a conscious decision to turn from them (Repent) and through Faith Trust or commit their lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. If you do this with all your heart you have God's promise that you are Saved. For those who say there is no hell or we all go to Heaven, Don't believe it. It is not in God's word.

Answer 20

Yes heaven is real.

Angels, Jesus and his Father Jehovah are in heaven.

144 000 will be with Jesus in heaven to rule over the earth.

Answer 21

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& UPDATE &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&



YES HEAVEN IS REAL FOR THE LITTLE FLOCK OF 144,000 TO RULE WITH CHRIST! This as stated:



(Revelation 14:1) “14 Then I saw, and look! the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. . ...........(Revelation 14:3) “3 And they are singing what seems to be a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, and NO ONE was able to master that song except the 144,000, who have been bought from the earth. . .”



The new song the little flock are singing with Christ includes his promise of the LITTLE FLOCK WITH the heavenly hope:!



Please note as above the isolating of the "little flock" from the who have the amazing hope of heavenly rule with Christ Jesus over the earth! The number is unique for holy ones & Christ:



(Luke 12:32) “32 “Have no fear, little flock, for your Father has approved of giving you the Kingdom. . .”



But for most of mankind that have died and live today please note what promise of Christ stated for those who will live on the paradise earth once it is restored!

This he stated clearly in the famous "Lord's Prayer" as : ".........thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it does in heaven......."

Matthew 6:9,10!

Answer 22

Yes. God is real. There is a place called Heaven and another place called Hell. The Bible is very clear about that.



And true saving faith is putting your trust in Jesus Christ to save you from your sins and from the wrath to come. It is not manipulating the universe in order to get your own way and make yourself rich. That false faith movement is being pushed by the New Age movement, and some televangelists are secretly pushing it by changing the words and calling it "faith", which is very deceptive.

Answer 23

Heaven is real

Answer 24

Never yell at Jesus Chrsit or at God

but this one time do yell at him and

go out side look up in the sky and say

"TALK 2 ME GOD!"

Answer 25

Yes it's real and so is God.

Answer 26

It probably isn't real.



Nobody can prove it or disprove it, so the choice is yours really...

Answer 27

I believe that both exist but my opinion is not something I force upon other people. If they ask me for details of why I believe this I will answer them from scripture but if they say scripture is rubbish I must leave them with at opinion and pray that someone else might be able to get through to them in a way that I cannot.

Answer 28

God is God. In one sense we can only know God by projection. Projection is a powerful tool, we use it all the time. Everyone we know we actually have a distorted view. When we are at home, people in our family are the wost the world can produce. Away from home then there are none better and we would do everything for them. Behind their back people in authority are the lowest of the low, and before their face, yes ma’am, no ma’am, three bags full ma’am.



Our pojection of God is built on what people have taught us. Will he prove himself to us? Well I wouldn’t hang around waiting. God does things his way. The tendency is for those of us who have a good projection of God, or project a good God believe in God, and those who poor or distorted view of God reject God.



The first question of course is motive. Are you looking to approve God, or to be approved by him?

What was the first sin, munching on forbidden fruit? Or, desiring to be as God? God has a problem with us wanting to be his equal.



To be honest, regarding ourselves as God’s equal and doing as we please is our default mode, and, so lets say that to start off we have a biased view. If God, then, is entirely a projection we are better off admitting it.



There are people who reckon God speaks to them. Fair enough, we cannot deny them their experience. The rest of us have to rely on what God has said to his prophets, and those who are not privy to what the prophets say only have creation. Psalm 19 Romans 1

If you have a Bible you are privy to what God said to his prophets and apostles. I would suggest looking at the letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament.



I gather what you are looking for is to have a personal relationship with God, but it is not working out for you. Bear in mind Isaiah 66:1-5, Micah 6:6-8. Read the gospel by John and the First Epistle by John.



If you try and think it out for yourself, you will drift further from God, if you allow God to speak to you, He will draw you nearer to him. If you are waiting on God, you will not fear silences.

Answer 29

No one goes to hell or heaven after death. A soul is just an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. The mind is just a computer's mind. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not find the mind. The same is the case with the human beings. To know what a human being is, you must have real spiritual knowledge and some fundamental knowledge of a computer.



God cannot watch each and every human being at the same moment. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A human being is just a robot made of flesh, bones, tissues etc., and a toy of the spirits for their games.

Answer 30

Yes. I was attacked by demonic forces years ago. If demons exist so does Hell. If He'll exists there has to e a heaven. If Heaven exists then there has to be God.

Answer 31

The key is faith, he died for your sins, because we are sinners but he saw something more. Heaven and hell are not real but while you re here would you rather be good or bad?

Answer 32

"Heaven" is a gay dance club in London, that's real.

In Christianity, and many other Abrahamic religions, "Heaven" is the carrot, "Hell" is the stick

Answer 33

Whatever is in your heart, that's real. If you're worried about your family and how they're going to take it, wait a while, there's no hurry; you'll know when the time is right.



Someone famous (I can't remember who) said something like - you say God isn't answering your prayers when you don't get what you want. He is answering you, he's just telling your a*s NO! So maybe you're not getting the answer you want because it's the wrong time to ask about it.

Answer 34

Yes, heaven is real, because the physical “heavens” extend through earth’s atmosphere and beyond to the regions of outer space with their stellar bodies, “all the army of the heavens”—sun, moon, stars, and constellations. (Deuteronomy 4:19; Isaiah 13:10; 1 Corinthians 15:40, 41; Hebrews 11:12) The first verse of the Bible describes the creation of such starry heavens prior to the development of earth for human habitation. (Genesis 1:1) These heavens show forth God’s glory, even as does the expanse of atmosphere, being the work of God’s “fingers.” (Psalms 8:3; 19:1-6) The divinely appointed “statutes of the heavens” control all such celestial bodies. Astronomers, despite their modern equipment and advanced mathematical knowledge, are still unable to comprehend these statutes fully. (Job 38:33; Jeremiah 33:25) Their findings, however, confirm the impossibility of man’s placing a measurement upon such heavens or of counting the stellar bodies. (Jeremiah 31:37; 33:22) Yet they are numbered and named by God.—Psalms 147:4; Isaiah 40:26.

Answer 35

It's pie in the sky. All books are written by humans - you know that - it's just somebody's story, like Harry Potter.

Answer 36

-_-! You're not a Christian, and you're not 15. You're an Atheist troll pretending to be a kid. Pathetic

Answer 37

No, heaven is no more real than hell or purgatory or anything else like that. After all, what's the point of being rewarded or punished or whatever for all of eternity when you've only got a short life to live?

Answer 38

Rather than ask strangers on the internet, many of whom have strong OPINIONS either way, but NO testable PROOF either way, why not trust GOD?



Your family Bible, MATT 7:7 "ASK, and it SHALL be given"



Mark REAL and NOT REAL on opposite sides of a coin, drop it in a clear jar, fasten the lid, and ask your family to PRAY with you, while you shake the jar.



"O our GOD, we beseech Thee to use the merest fraction of Thy INFINITE Power, to nudge his coin to reveal unto us the TRUTH. Is Heaven REAL?"

Then stop shaking the jar, and gaze upon the answer which GOD hath revealed unto thee.



If Heaven DOES exist, the coin will show REAL.



If Heaven does not exist, but God DOES, the coin will show NOT REAL.



If GOD does not give a crap WHAT you believe, the answer will be totally random.



If your FAMILY does not really TRUST God, they will refuse to participate.



And if they do not trust God, they can't justifiably complain, when you begin a serious study of HOW the Bible was assembled, and eventually become an atheist.

Answer 39

,and now what constitutes HEAVEN to be REAL ,



because certain people ASSERT the IDEA,



ancient people also asserted gods lived on mount OLYMPUS



. and Egyptians MUMMIFIED their dead to travel to the land of Reeds after life dating back to 1550 BC

Answer 40

No heaven is not real. When you die, you die..You simply cease to exist. There is no afterlife and no god.

Answer 41

Heaven is a subject of both wild speculation and heated controversy. Yet, what the Bible teaches about it is far different from what many have been taught.



There are diverse beliefs about heaven and its purpose. For example:

Many professed Christians would agree with the New Catholic Encyclopedia, which calls heaven “the ultimate home of the blessed who die in the Lord.”

Judaism focuses more on the present life than on the afterlife, says Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz. But he suggests that “in heaven the soul experiences the greatest possible pleasure—a greater perception and feeling of closeness to God than it had previously.” Kravitz acknowledges, however, that “although Judaism believes in heaven, the Torah speaks very little about it.”

Hindus and Buddhists believe that heaven exists on many spiritual levels. It is a temporary stop, after which a person is either reborn on earth or transcends to Nirvana or Buddhahood—a state that is higher than heaven.

Some reject any religious notion of heaven and say that the whole idea is childish nonsense.

Answer 42

Read the Bible - the whole thing - then decide.

Answer 43

Hi

Answer 44

What you need to do is research. Read the bible. Learn about what christians have done in the past, and then decide if you want to be a part of a cult that ignores its own history and pretends to have the moral highground over...literally everyone.



Rinse and repeat with other religions as you see fit. Think critically. Maybe look into what science says about certain things, and religion's arguments against it.



Also, I would not tell your family. Most doubters don't. Though it depends on the severity of their zealotous devotion to the cult. Are they sane, or do they have a screw loose? how they feel about homosexuals is usually a good indicator of how nuts they are.

Answer 45

Heaven is real. This world is near it's end and everything in this world is trying to get people not to believe in God. Just keep on seeking God. Repent from sin. That means to turn away from sin. Ask God to forgive you and He will but you can't be double minded. Jesus is coming back soon just look at the signs he said to look for and you will see them all today. Even though the world is falling apart still people won't repent. Don't be one of those people who don't repent. Ask God to help you to overcome sin now that you still have time and keep His commandments. He will help you like He's helped me with my addictions. He will give you the power to stop your sin addictions. Read the book of Mathew. Read the words of Jesus. He's words are truth. Don't even believe a pastor unless the words he speaks are written in Gods scripture. You have to read Gods word to know what His will is. I love you man. I hope you have great day!



John 14:15

If you love me keep my commandments.



1 John 5:3

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.



Ecclesiastes 12:13

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments.



Revelation 14:12

“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”



And don't let anyone trick you into telling you Jesus was not God



1 Timothy 3:16

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Answer 46

Yes heaven is real, the bible is true and Jesus loves you.

Answer 47

The only reason you'd be doubting is because you're listening too much to the world instead of what the bible says. Have faith and trust the word.

Answer 48

The fact of the matter, God is real, and heaven is real, so read your Bible and pray and stay out of the churches, because the church age is over, BABYLON THE GREAT HAS FALLEN, that is all of the churches throughout the entire world, because God is separating the wheat from the tares, that is the good from the evil, the true believers from the unbelievers, the saved from the unsaved, read Revelation 17:5 read Revelation18:4 read 2 Thessalonians 1:2-4 read Matthew 24:15-16 read 1 Peter 4:17 read Amos 8:11 read Galatians 5:17-23 read Ephesians 2:8

Answer 49

No it was a lie and I am proud of you for questioning what doesnt make any sense.

Answer 50

no... you cross the river styx when you die. better have some coins!

Answer 51

The word “heaven” is used in three basic senses in the Bible: (1) the physical heavens; (2) the spirit realm; and (3) a symbol of a high or exalted position. In each case, the context helps determine the correct understanding. *



The physical heavens. In this sense, “the heavens” refers to earth’s atmosphere, where the winds blow, the birds fly, the clouds produce rain and snow, and the lightning flashes. (Psalm 78:26; Proverbs 30:19; Isaiah 55:10; Luke 17:24) It can also mean outer space, the location of “the sun and the moon and the stars.”—Deuteronomy 4:19; Genesis 1:1.

The spirit realm. The term “heaven” also refers to the spiritual heavens, or spirit realm, a level of existence higher than and outside of the physical universe. (1 Kings 8:27; John 6:38) These spiritual heavens are occupied by Jehovah God, who is “a Spirit,” as well as by the angelic spirit beings whom he created. (John 4:24; Matthew 24:36) At times, “the heavens” are personified to represent the faithful angels, “the congregation of the holy ones.”—Psalm 89:5-7.

The Bible also uses “heavens” to refer specifically to the portion of the spirit realm where Jehovah actually resides, his “dwelling place.” (1 Kings 8:43, 49; Hebrews 9:24; Revelation 13:6) For example, the Bible foretold that Satan and the demons would be thrown out of heaven, no longer being allowed to enter Jehovah’s presence. However, they would remain in the spirit realm.—Revelation 12:7-9, 12.



A symbol of a high or exalted position. The Scriptures use “heaven” to represent an elevated position, usually in connection with ruling authority. Such a position could be occupied by:

Jehovah God himself as the almighty Sovereign.—2 Chronicles 32:20; Luke 15:21.

God’s Kingdom, the government that will replace human rule. The Bible refers to that Kingdom as the “new heavens.”—Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; 2 Peter 3:13. *

Christians who, while on earth, have the hope of going to heaven.—Ephesians 2:6.

Human governments that have exalted themselves over their subjects.—Isaiah 14:12-14; Daniel 4:20-22; 2 Peter 3:7.

Wicked spirits who now rule over the world.—Ephesians 6:12; 1 John 5:19.

What is heaven like?



The spirit realm is a hive of activity. It is occupied by hundreds of millions of spirit creatures “who carry out [Jehovah’s] word.”—Psalm 103:20, 21; Daniel 7:10.



The Bible describes heaven as being brilliantly lighted. (1 Timothy 6:15, 16) The prophet Ezekiel received a heavenly vision marked by “brilliant light,” while the vision of heaven that Daniel saw included “a stream of fire.” (Ezekiel 1:26-28; Daniel 7:9, 10) Heaven is holy, or clean, and beautiful.—Psalm 96:6; Isaiah 63:15; Revelation 4:2, 3.



The overall impression that the Bible gives of heaven is awe-inspiring. (Ezekiel 43:2, 3) Nevertheless, it is not possible for humans to comprehend heaven fully, since the spirit realm is beyond our senses.

Answer 52

Yes heaven is very real. Jesus is God and the only way there.

Answer 53

I'm not going to tell if heaven is real and if there is a God. I'm also not going to tell you the opposite and thirdly I won't tell you whether I'm a believer of heaven and God or not. Ask yourself what you feel is true? Which answer to question resonates with you the most? Which one do you feel more comfortable with regardless of what others might think of you? All I can say is do you research thoroughly and then ask yourself these questions.

Answer 54

No it's not real.

You don't need help.

It's like falling from a great height without a parachute: there's not much point in flapping your hands like mad, just enjoy the ride till the final thud.



All the religions are seeking to do is flap as they fall. It wastes their time, i.e., time they could be enjoying doing something functionally useful or fun.

Answer 55

'Heaven is as real as hell'.

But existence can play tricks on us. For example things might be different than what we see / hear or touch and even to what we tend to eat and smell. So we cannot really believe what our own senses inputs into us. Upon this understanding we tend to turn upon our own ideals and rely upon them so that we try and get to the truth of everything.

I for one cannot imagine existence that is not supported by a 'stable and true' creator who has been with me since I was born. Therefore knowing that the cyclic rule of existence is 'dust to dust and ashes to ashes' I look forward to join my Creator who suely must be in heaven.

Answer 56

Don't beat yourself up. You are young and you have questions as we all do at some point in our lives. Look at incredible things like you being born in the first place. How life is created is heavenly in itself. Then there is the burning question of how the universe was created and how big is it? There are plenty of things that you will see in everyday life that might help guide you in your quest for answers. You just have to be open minded.

Answer 57

There are two types of heaven

1) Result of good deeds in same world.

2) With holy spirit or God in Gods Kingdom.



Both are real.

Answer 58

I am also fifteen, and my whole family is very Catholic, yet I do not believe in God. I haven't told anyone but my closest friends. I still go to mass on sundays (when I can't get out of it) and I still pray before eating dinner. I still attend my Catholic youth group every Friday, although I enjoy it a lot because the people there are fun, so I'd continue to go whether or not I'm Christian.



I was taught about God my whole life, and even took many classes for my first communion and confirmation. However, I started to question his existence, and at first this scared me, because it went against what I had always been taught was right. I feared that if I was wrong, and God were real after all, I'd have to endure an eternity in hell. But the more I contemplated life, the universe, and the concept of God, the more my faith decreased.



Now, I don't believe in a higher deity, but I've been considering converting to Buddhism. Buddhists hold that there is no God, but that after we die, our memories of our most recent life are erased permanently, but our sense of self and our consciousness transfer to another being in the universe (whether that being is another human, or an animal, or bug, or possibly even a plant... or an alien from the other corner of the galaxy). This can be described as reincarnation, although Buddhists don't like to call it that.



I encourage you to think independently about your worldview. Ask all sides for their opinion. Don't ask Christians for reassurance, because your doubt will not go away and your guilt will only increase. What truly feels right in the heart is your destiny, and one day I believe you will come to peace with your spiritual beliefs as I have with mine. I feel no shame or guilt for my atheism / possible Buddhism. I only feel fear that I will weaken or destroy relationships with people I care about when I am open about my beliefs. But I feel no guilt in my beliefs, and I wholeheartedly believe that what I think is right and A-OK.



I think, if you stay strong, you can embark on a spiritual exploration just as fulfilling and cathartic as the one I experienced.

Answer 59

Ignore the JW's they are barking up the wrong tree with their false assumption that only 144,000 will enter the Kingdom. The idea is sheer folly. It assumes that all of the followers, even the disciples, who lived previously, were all lost somehow???



It is a whole multitude who will stand before the Great Throne in white robes and with shining faces and these will be those who will enter the Kingdom of Light.



You may be a troll and the Kingdom is not for trolls .........



It is for repentant trolls ....... and others.

Answer 60

It's very normal to have doubts. Every Christian has had doubts at some point in their life. I would imagine that most everyone has doubted what they believe to be true no matter what that belief is because we don't have the kind of confirmation that humans like to have. I think you need to start by reading the Bible for yourself instead of just thinking about it. Then you will find the answers you need.

Answer 61

Yes, it is very real.



Go to YouTube and type the keywords "testimony heaven".

As you watch those you will realize all these people are describing the same place.



The same applies to hell. Whatever you do, stick to Jesus Christ and DO NOT go there. You have no idea how awful it is. If you are not already saved get that done today. Tomorrow may never come.



How to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord?

It is the easiest thing in the world. Just close your eyes, focus on him and pray something like this:



"Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins and I ask you to wash me clean. I am sorry for all the bad things I have done and the many times I broke God's Will. Please forgive me and fill me with the gift of the Holy Spirit. I want to belong to God. I want to be adopted into his family as his child. Come into my heart. I give you control over my life. Please lead me through the Holy Spirit and make your Word real to me. Fill my soul with the peace that surpasses understanding and help me change so that I may lead a life that is pleasing to you. I want to go to heaven and I want to be called by the Fathers name. As of today I declare that I belong to you". Amen



If you do this with all of your heart you will start noticing subtle changes inside of you and step by step your life will change. I am speaking from experience.

Answer 62

Its called "Reaching the Age of Reason". Nurture this and do not look back. Here is a wonderful speech by

Christopher Hitchens that will inspire you to continue on this new and enlightening path:



When Socrates was sentenced to death for his philosophical investigations, and for blasphemy for challenging the gods of the city — and he accepted his death — he did say, "well, if we are lucky, perhaps I'll be able to hold conversation with other great thinkers and philosophers and doubters too."



In other words the discussion about what is good, what is beautiful, what is noble, what is pure, and what is true could always go on.



Why is that important, why would I like to do that? Because that's the only conversation worth having. And whether it goes on or not after I die, I don't know. But I do know that that's the conversation I want to have while I'm still alive. Which means that to me, the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can't give way, is an offer of something not worth having. I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don't know anything like enough yet; that I haven't understood enough; that I can't know enough; that I'm always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn't have it any other way.



And I'd urge you to look at... those people who tell you, at your age, that you're dead till you believe as they do — what a terrible thing to be telling to children!



And that you can only live by accepting an absolute authority — don't think of that as a gift. Think of it as a poisoned chalice. Push it aside however tempting it is. Take the risk of thinking for yourself. Much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.-Christopher Hitchens

Answer 63

Honestly, there's no proof that god or anything that happened in the bible is real. There are too many religions and not all of them can be true. Im not trying to be rude or anything, but you can believe what you want to believe. Your family will love you either way.

Answer 64

Yes it's all real. Where's your faith at man? Gee whiz. Turn off the TV n the radio and your computer and pick up a bible.

Answer 65

There is plenty of evidence out there, including Creation itself.

One third of the world is Christian, half the world believes in GOD.

Just relax & ask your family why they believe.

Answer 66

If you know anything about science, particularly metaphysics....then you know there is life after death, or a universal energy. There could be no life, no movement, without energy. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change form. People on earth are not smart enough to know about God. The Bible doesn't even come close to doing God justice. Plants, animals, insects, earth, stars, sun and people, ect... all have this energy. Without it, there would be no life, and it goes beyond our planet and solar system, in all the other worlds, and galaxies out there...which is infinite.

Answer 67

yes heaven is real

Answer 68

If you are not real ... who is asking the question?



Yes, God is real ... and Jesus died so that you and I can be reconciled to God.

Answer 69

The fact that the christians on here are literally telling you to believe in it without the slightest shred of proof tells you that your doubts are very valid.



Look further. Ask more questions.

Answer 70

Yes it's real and only Jesus can save from sin. Stop listening to worldly advice.

Answer 71

Heaven is a place where God dwells with His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and all the angels. It is not a geographical location in this world or somewhere in outer space. No one knows what or where this place called "heaven" is because no other human being has been there other than the Son of God Jesus Christ.

Answer 72

You left your sight open to view...........don't believe you want the true answer to this question..........

Wish you did.........might truly consider GOD'S TRUTHS before it is no time left to reconsider.

True Christians hope for all and pray for many...........please try harder to know GOD.

Answer 73

The feelings that you have now is absolutely normal. YOu are growing and hormones are running a thousand miles a minute in your body. (Not even God is brae enough to talk to you know ha ha ha just kidding). I think the problem is that you want God to show Himself to you according to your terms and conditions. This request was done by almost all the people of Jews and CHristianity and even Muslims during their respective prophets. Show us God. My best advice to you is to be patient. mind you that I am a Muslim. Best of luck to you in your search for God. Ask and you shall have.

Answer 74

Answer 79

LOL .... I am Hindu .. but IT is called Swarg in our way of living.

But i can not confirm if it is real or not since some experiences are better knowing first hand ... and I do not want to experience Heaven or Swarg anytime soon.

But you must question .. it is not about religions ... you must question to know ... and when you know .. you must realize that they all are false .

We need to know to Know things that are not real !



Well do not take me seriously.



Just Breath and Enjoy.

Answer 80

Heaven is talked about many times in the Bible. In the King James it's mentioned 327 times in the Old Testament and 255 times in the New. I'd say that's pretty important. So the question has to be what caused you to lose faith? The Bible says faith comes through hearing the word of God so if you are losing your faith maybe you are not reading your Bible enough and putting your trust in what it says. You are waiting for God to speak to you but do you realize he often speaks to us through his word? Think about it.

Answer 81

Listen to your family and continue to progress in your study of scripture, a variety of short study guides are available via the Internet that can provide immense information.



Remember, at a young age many distractions can cause you to display conflict regarding belief, the latter will slowly retract over time; keep the Lord in your heart.

Recall, the words of St. Paul as noted in 2 Timothy 4:7.

Answer 82

Yes heaven is real as is YHVH GOD and His Son Yeshua the Messiah. Read your Bible for the truth and ask for help understanding it. A good version of the Bible is the Holman Christian Standard Bible. there is one for teenagers as well.

Life after death - I'll add my own thoughts here first - what we believe in is what we will experience in the afterlife.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=human+mind+after+death



Long before the advent of Christianity, God spoke to Aristotle explaining to him the truth of the afterlife. Aristotle wrote a philosophy on the subject of life after death.

Answer 85

Yes, The kingdom of heaven is real. you say you have asked god for the answer but you haven't heard it....have you read the bible?

Book of Job has the voice of god speaking with Job and the Devil.

sometimes the answer is not what you want to hear.

You can take the authority to ask something without $$ reward, for others who only you and God would understand was your answer , and your knowledge that god truly exists.

Take it on faith.

Answer 86

If you want to believe in God you have to love the people around you and be honest and do charity work and be humble

Answer 87

You are at the transition age. When you are younger, you believe what they tell you - about most everything. But, by the mid teens, you need proof; you need to see things for yourself.



Heaven IS real, but, I cannot show it to you. Nor a picture, nor a video. God is real too, but, same for Him. Science cannot "show" God, as He is supernatural, and outside the realm of Science. If there is no "proof," why are only 2% of the world atheist? Because there is loads of evidence, but, in other ways. There is a study of how we know things called Epistemology, and it has a great many ways for knowing things, science being just one of them.



So, to find out about God, and Heaven, and stuff, you need the right method; the right tools. Asking God to talk to you almost never works. While He does, it is exceedingly rare for most of us. For Him to appear in front of you - as He is everywhere in the Universe all at the same time, that would be impossible, as humans cannot see everything that exists all at once. So, you need to find out the methods that actually work. E.g., use logic - if 98% of the world believe in something, then it is likely true. Find out how, and why they believe.



BTW, this takes work! The search for God is not an easy one. "The path is narrow." There are many ideas, and arguments, as reading this forum shows. But, finding God is really cool, and well worth it. I went to school to study about Him, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am not suggesting that you do that, but, you can talk to people who have studied Him (e.g., priests, ministers, and pastors), or listen to them in various churches. You can then become informed - you will need to do this for all sorts of things, not just religion. You are old enough to begin the process. Which you have done with your question. :)

Answer 88

The Bible is a precious gift from God. It is like a letter from a loving father to his children. It tells us the truth about God—who he is and what he stands for. It explains how to cope with problems and how to find true happiness. The Bible alone tells us what we must do to please God.—Psalm 1:1-3; Isaiah 48:17, 18.

The Bible was written by some 40 different men over a period of 1,600 years, beginning in 1513 B.C.E. It is made up of 66 little books. Those who wrote the Bible were inspired by God. They wrote his thoughts, not their own. So God in heaven, not any human on earth, is the Author of the Bible.—2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21.

God made sure that the Bible was accurately copied and preserved. More Bibles have been printed than any other book. Not everyone will be happy to see you studying the Bible, but do not let that stop you. Your eternal future depends on your getting to know God and doing his will despite any opposition.—Matthew 5:10-12; John 17:3. CB/Bible/JW.org

Answer 90

Hi! Please look at the following?m It's just miracles, prayer, not Christian.

I hate to see you lose everything!!



http://www.thegardenofangels.com/content/gardenofangels2.shtml



They're still around.

Here's how it starts?





The Garden of Angels is the well-known true story of a miracle that occurred at the Findhorn Garden. The script is both innovative and familiar in the telling of the miracle.



Set in Scotland during the early 1960's, The Garden of Angels is based on the true story of the Caddy family and Dorothy Maclean. Against all odds, they grow a stunning Garden on desolate sandy wasteland, with help and guidance from angelic beings and natural spiritual forces

Answer 92

Bible Definition: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Heb. 11:1) Faith is a fruitage of God’s holy spirit, and God gladly gives his spirit to those who seek it. (Gal. 5:22; Luke 11:13) So persons without faith are not seeking that spirit, or they are doing so for personal gain. Along with this faith, God also gives us a hope of everlasting life, as found in Matt. 6:10 10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also 'On Earth'. (2 Timothy 3:16,17 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.) So, the contents information that is good evening for everyday life.

Answer 93

yes of course it is. get closer to God and you'll feel better

Answer 94

This from an Atheist. Many people like you have a crisis in faith. If you are unable to work this out for yourself I suggest that you find evidence to support your search for truth. Reading and researching other people's views and experiences may give you some help to resolve your conflict.

Do not worry though, give it time and you will find your way.

Answer 95

Absolutelyt not. If heaven was real we would not have any doubts about it.

Answer 96

Answer 102

Yes heaven is very real. Heaven is the place where God resides, Jesus, and the angels. Genesis 1:6-8 further goes on to say: Then God said: “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let there be a division between the waters and the waters.”7Then God went on to make the expanse and divided the waters beneath the expanse from the waters above the expanse. And it was so.8God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
