In our brief chat the other day I was asking about the situation of someone having several husbands/wives ( one after the other) on earth, so what would their relationship be in heaven and would they know who is who etc? Also, would we know who we used to be on earth? Plus would we know of the sin we had? Also would you be able to go space travelling to explore his wonderful universe and not just living in the new Jerusalem, other wise it is such a waste if you don't have the benefit of viewing it?

On the subject of heaven, is there sadness in heaven? Because I would be gutted if I found out some friends and family weren't in heaven. So maybe the question should be would we recognise people in heaven? Answer...

What is your opinion on what happens to people who haven't heard the gospel when they die, do they go to heaven? Do young children/babies who die, that are to young to make a decision on becoming a Christian, go to heaven? Answer...

When someone gets to heaven, do they still have a choice to be able to turn away from God as satan did and other fallen angels? And if so, would that mean satan will always have a kingdom of fire and torment but won't have access to heaven for temptation etc... after the world has ended? Answer...

When we go to heaven and have the big feast with Jesus, what sort of things will we have?
Because surely all things that are REALLY nice and tasty are bad for you, so does that mean they won’t be in the feast as we are in heaven so bad things won’t be there? Answer...

Phil, When we get our new bodies, will they be in the same image as our earthly ones but in a perfect state, so some of us with larger than normal waists would be slimmed down and the skinny ones would be fattened up to a healthy size?

Where do our pets go when they die, do they get into heaven? Do animals have souls?

Answer...

You say in some of your teachings about satan seducing away all the angelic musicians that currently all the angels just say "Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty" and that there is no worship amongst the Angels, So what has happened to all the people that have already gone to heaven (many of whom were worshippers/musicians) surely there must be massive worship concerts in heaven all the time?

Recently I have been singing at home more and am questioning whether I understand all of the words i.e. understand what I’m singing about!! “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of our God!” What does this mean? Does it mean that the river-water from the throne washes us like I think it does? Sorry it’s probably easy to explain but I want to know that I am on the right lines. The whole song and I do love it. I don't think I have got it all and I really want to. I don't want to miss anything- I think I only get a fraction of it and I want it all!!!
Answer...

Answer...

Will we need to breathe in heaven?
Although I'm guessing the answer's no because of the resurrection bodies and all. Although didn't Jesus eat fish and bread?

Answer...

Phil,
So as I understand it, when we all die on this earth, we will only have a spirit that will go to heaven and will only get new bodies when we come back to rule for the 1000 years with Jesus.
So what can our spirits do, as we can't say anything because we have no vocal cords. Do we communicate through spirit minds and worship the same way and would we recognise and have friendship with other people as spirits in the same place?
Answer...

I've read and heard lots of discussions about 1st, 2nd and 3rd heaven. The basis of this, I assume, is Paul's reference to being taken up to the third heaven. Some think therefore that 1st heaven is the earthly realm (though why it should be called heaven is confusing), 2nd heaven is the spiritual realm and 3rd heaven is throne room of God. Is this correct and if so what is the biblical basis for this? John was taken to heaven ("come up here") but I don't think he ever called it third heaven did he? Was Paul referring to a Jewish/Hebraic way of thinking?
