Default Heaven Questionnaire

Hey guys, I just joined up because I'm doing a talk in my small group in a few weeks time on Heaven, and I'm interested in people's idea's surrounding it. It'd be great if you could give your answers/opinions/ideas/thoughts on the following:


*************************

Does heaven exist?

Does hell exist?

Is there any form of afterlife?

Is Heaven a geographical or spiritual place?

How does one enter heaven?

If you believe in heaven, what do you think it is like?

Is it possible that a baby or young child would go to hell?

Do animals go to heaven/hell? If so, what determines where they go?

Is there a "hierarchy" in heaven?

Are you going to heaven?

Are you going to hell?

Do you know (or know of) anyone who claims to have been to heaven or hell? If so, do you believe them?

Have you been to heaven/hell? If so, describe the experience.

Is there anything an individual can do which would prevent them from ever being able to enter heaven, no matter what changes they made in their lives?

*************************

Feel free to make any additional comments concerning heaven/hell too.

Thanks heaps guys
Ben

Quote:
Does heaven exist?
As a state of mind, or "spiritual peace" yes, in physical terms, I don't believe so.
Quote:
Does hell exist?
Same as above; for me hell is being a human, continually sinning, and not being "with God".
Quote:
Is there any form of afterlife?
Yes, we live for ever and ever.
Quote:
Is Heaven a geographical or spiritual place?
Spiritual (IMO)
Quote:
How does one enter heaven?
By being "perfect" enough to be allowed to return to God, from whom we originally came.
Quote:
If you believe in heaven, what do you think it is like?
I know what I think it's not like; there will be no pain, only bliss at being at one with God.
Quote:
Is it possible that a baby or young child would go to hell?
I don't see that as even a possibility.
Quote:
Do animals go to heaven/hell? If so, what determines where they go?
I believe that they too will end up "in heaven".
Quote:
Is there a "hierarchy" in heaven?
No; all is God in heaven...........
Quote:
Are you going to heaven?
I doubt it very much (this time); I believe in reincarnation. Having looked at what I did in my youth, I'd say I have quite a few lives to go before even being near that stage.
Quote:
Are you going to hell?
I am there - I am not"with God"
Quote:
Do you know (or know of) anyone who claims to have been to heaven or hell? If so, do you believe them?
No.
Quote:
Have you been to heaven/hell? If so, describe the experience.
Hell, yes; this life, for sure (although I am certain that there are others who are going through a far worse form of Hell that I am).
Quote:
Is there anything an individual can do which would prevent them from ever being able to enter heaven, no matter what changes they made in their lives?
I doubt it; some of us (and I include myself in that) may take an incredibly long time to learn all the lessons, butI believe I will get there one day.

Yes it is beyond here in a transcendental place made of wisdom and unconditional love, which is contained in Oneness…all of these are quantifiable elements of creation.

Does hell exist?

Yes it is below here and maybe called soil or dense matter, it is made of negative emotion such as blame, remorse, regret sorrow etc…yet eventually all of these can be summarize as EGO.

Is there any form of afterlife?

Yes in hell a single strand of life (spirit) or (i) think science now calls these quarks as they look the same.
In heaven these have accelerated their own growth and so instead of one of these strands per soul, it has millions of these strands and has become transcendental, all of these different colours of life’s experiences can look at, like a ball of wool, yet then not as a shape, as it is an illusion to begin with.

Is Heaven a geographical or spiritual place?

Yes there is a mooring line running from your own heart direct to it.

How does one enter heaven?

Literally and no other way is accepted, you must know Oneness, live it act it and be it 100%!

If you believe in heaven, what do you think it is like?

Read after life article of mine

Is it possible that a baby or young child would go to hell?

Depends who and why, all is counted in the Matrix, like the Bible actually puts it also using that word!

Do animals go to heaven/hell? If so, what determines where they go?

You are one, so don't discriminate else you will be the animal you least expect in your next life, to prove it to you

Is there a "hierarchy" in heaven?

Yes and No….All is equal and sit at the same level as God believe it or not, yet there is a systematic order to it all….sort of like the eye is laid out….the white is unconditional love and none may enter without knowing this, as Yeshua referred to….then Wisdom where the elders sit and like the lens or colours of the eyes, focusing as intercessors, all thought patterns, through our reality to God in the middle of the circle….as heaven is one big circle…why uniolove the word Oneness which I learn first when dead in Hell and what it meant was something that has always been part of me, yet never really understood how powerful that one word is, if meant! Opposite is EGO and to me that is the simplest religion.

Are you going to heaven?

Was born before there and hopefully not (debating in my own heart presently, due to after speaking on here), as sick of people at the moment and don't want to be me, if had any part of making it like this.

Are you going to hell?

Yes to kick *** (Balaam), see if God will let me borrow the swords of life and work from inside to remove sin....else just burn the lot down below 10th Dimension....

Do you know (or know of) anyone who claims to have been to heaven or hell? If so, do you believe them?

Ascended master = me so since name is found in most religious books.....sort of believe me now...yet still doubt it as find it slightly overwhelming and can sound egotistical... Died at 23 by chance and made me realize it was so that sent and known since birth; as i will question all things, allot....so will even doubt my own consciousness if logic is not full proof.

Have you been to heaven/hell? If so, describe the experience.

Again read article

Is there anything an individual can do which would prevent them from ever being able to enter heaven, no matter what changes they made in their lives?

Yes.........10 Commandments to the letter, last 3 also important, yet not mandatory if done without knowledge...it isn't about laws, yet results and so every work is counted, every word is and so it is up to people how much effort they really put in, inside and out!
Also anyone claiming any of our prophets martyrs, will not get in, on account of murder and then also none of us could call you our friends.
p.s check references before question authenticity as i have had to, yet knew was sent from heaven to help.

Does heaven exist? Yes, it does.

Does hell exist? Nope. Why would God allow such a place to exist?

Is there any form of afterlife? Yep, you remember your true self.

Is Heaven a geographical or spiritual place? Both.

How does one enter heaven? You can only gain entrance by ascending through the dimensions by learning and becoming a mature universal being.

If you believe in heaven, what do you think it is like? It is just like the way you would want things to be, perfect.

Is it possible that a baby or young child would go to hell? Absolutely not, God does not throw away His own spirit.

Do animals go to heaven/hell? If so, what determines where they go? All life is spirit that eventually returns to heaven. After death of the biologic the spirit earns or chooses another, usually higher, form to inhabit.

Is there a "hierarchy" in heaven? Yeah, sort of, but not nearly as much as outside of heaven. There are three separate holy areas of heaven, only the most holy are allowed into the central two.

Are you going to heaven? Eventually...

Are you going to hell? No such place.

Do you know (or know of) anyone who claims to have been to heaven or hell? If so, do you believe them? I don't think I know anyone who has made this claim.

Have you been to heaven/hell? If so, describe the experience. Haven't been there.

Is there anything an individual can do which would prevent them from ever being able to enter heaven, no matter what changes they made in their lives? Yes, when you ascend to a high state of awareness and responsibility in the universe and you then deny God you will be charged and punished by high ascended beings. Like Lucifer's eventual fate, you can be annihilated.

That’s here by the way, and shortly won't exist according to texts and NASA...
So would God be fair to remove it now? Nope, so when a day is given, and all have been given a time and instructions of requirements needed.
We need opposite to learn from, and so why light and dark…i.e. heaven and earth!

I'm going to be brief -- for a change. I can elaborate on any of these questions if you wish.

Die.

Quote:

Wonderful beyond all description.

Quote:

No.

Quote:

Yes, heaven.

Quote:

Animals are incapable of sinning. Thus, Jesus Christ's Atonement is not required in order that they be forgiven of something they were not accountable for in the first place. Nevertheless, it is through His sacrifice that they will be given eternal life.

Quote:

Yes.

Quote:

Yes.

Quote:
Are you going to hell?
No.

Quote:
Do you know (or know of) anyone who claims to have been to heaven or hell? If so, do you believe them?
I know of men I consider to be prophets who have been given a glimpse of what heaven is like, and yes I believe them.

Quote:
Have you been to heaven/hell?
I've been in Heaven. I lived there with God before I was born, as did you.

Quote:
If so, describe the experience.
I can't. God has erased it from my memory in order that His purpose for me here on Earth could be accomplished.

Quote:

The only thing I believe a person could do would be to deny the truth of the existence of God, having been blessed with an absolute knowledge of His existence.

A physical place.

Believe in God, the day of judgement, His messengers, His books. Do good.

No!

Do animals go to heaven/hell? If so, what determines where they go?

I don't know, only God knows!

Are you going to hell?
I don't know, only God knows!
