What Is Heaven?

There is evidence and arguments that heaven and hell do truly exist, and this evidence does not depend on the Bible's statements. Most people would agree with the statement that everything in life is futile and the only worthy goal is entry into heaven, and avoiding hell. Often times, humans wonder if anything they are doing is wrong, or if God would disagree with their choices in life. Also, they get paranoid whenever they do certain tasks because they are aware that God is watching over them, and they wouldn't want to be judged poorly by Him. Everyone has a soul, and every soul has a destiny. In the Bible, God explains that every soul will be judged, no matter what. God warns mankind that during judgement, we will receive a one-way ticket to eternity. The Bible also teaches us that during this life we have two choices. First, we are granted free will to serve and honor God through Jesus Christ who is in Heaven, or we are free moral agents to choose Satan who will reside in Hell. Heaven is good, and Hell is evil. The fact that God created mankind's soul with an eternal destiny should have a significant impact on our choices and priorities. The benefits and splendor of Heaven are greater that the punishments and tortures of Hell.

There have been a countless number of people who have experienced death, or a near-death experience. Typically whenever someone's heart stops, they see a "white light."

The researchers suggest this surge could be why some patients who have been revived when close to death report sensations such as walking towards a bright light or a feeling that they are floating above their body. Many religious people argue the fact that, in some cases, whenever people pray to God and ask him for a miracle for either themselves being sick, or a loved one, they often receive God's gift. Although this is contraversial, I believe that God is simply granting them with the miracle that they are asking him for. Lastly, everything must have a cause. It's impossible to continue backwards to infinity with causes; therefore, there must have been a first cause which was not conditioned by any other cause, henceforth, that cause must be a God. On the other hand, as for people who do not believe in God's existence, think that if you allow one thing to exist without cause, you contradict your own premise. And if you do, there is no reason why the universe should not be the one thing that exists or orininates without cause.

Many of us wonder, as well as myself, what this "Heaven" actually looks like. Most of us imagine it as the perfect place, flowers everywhere, clear blue skys, no tension or arguing, etc. Well others think that since everyone cannot be happy at the same time, that
