We spend a lot of time discussing our ideas on heaven. What for? It is outside of our reach. It is past our present reality. We only have promises for an afterlife. We have little to no tangible proof of its existence. The search to define heaven seems to be distracting from what needs to be done here on earth. Yet, I agree it still needs to be discussed.
I heard growing up that heaven is supposed to be this place where we know all the answers.Where we understand how God works. The never ending universe will be explained. Science will be in perfect harmony with Christian thought. There will be no theories. Just facts. Everything will make sense. We will finally be at peace because there will be nothing left to argue about.
If this is true I will just hang outside the gate and talk to people before they come in while they still have an useful imagination.
What I like about heaven is that is beyond our understanding. It is mysterious. Science was meant to explain this life and not the anything past that. So I hope heaven stays unexplainable once we get there. What fun would God's presence be if we could completely understand it? If God's infinite nature becomes logical it is no longer exciting. Send me back to earth where I can continue to be awestruck.
My hope is that we can spend eternity exploring layer after layer of who God is and never understand Him. Heaven does not exist for God to become comprehensible to me, but for me to see just how incomprehensible God really is.
I hope my questions don't get answered in Heaven. I hope my answers become greater questions.
