1 | Scripture? | Heb 11:40 | Morant61 | 114928 | ||
Greetings Rowdy! You wrote: " don't think you really expect to see "streets of gold," or "palaces of pearl," "seas of glass" in Heaven for the same reasons as stated above, do you?. Those kind of hard, physcial items of earthly elements won't exist either after Judgment Day." Where exactly does Scripture say that these things will not exist in the new Heaven and new Earth?

2 | Scripture? | Heb 11:40 | Rowdy | 114930 | ||
I'm saying that this language is figurative because our God is spiritual and we are physical. Have you ever thought about explaining your world to your neighborhood ant? Silly, yes...I can imagine your smile. In a similar way, our Creator is trying to tell us what life is going to be like after He destroys this whole universe and brings us into the next world. It's our choice as to whether we go to Heaven or to Hell. Tell me how do you RECONCILE the literal language of Revelation, Isaiah and all the other places where Heaven and Hell are cited and described WITH the scripture 2 Pet 3:10? So far I've not heard any convincing argument but I'm looking most earnestly for all comments from any and all Forum participants. I appreciate your question and pray God's blessings on you. |

Greetings Rowdy! Not to be too nitpicky, but your quote didn't just say that God used figurative language to describe Heaven and Hell. Your quote said that physical items that exist now WILL NOT exist in the new Heaven and new Earth. Where does Scripture say that? I think that part of the answer to your question hinges on the assumptions that you are making before you even ask the question. You are assuming that physical things will not exist, but Scripture never makes that statement. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
