      Firstly let me say I am sorry to hear about your dad and while I do not personally believe in an afterlife it is still good that you found something which is helping you with your lose, but please be cautious with this belief because my mother like you could not accept that her parents were gone and because of her desperate want to be reunited with them it led left her vulnerable to beliving the more cultish dominations of Christianity such as the Mormons and spiritualism.

      Blind Truth -. Bless your heart! You speak good words to warn of someone wanting so deeply to be with their loved ones that have gone ahead of us to Heaven. Yes, Mormon is a false “religion”. I feel bad for your mother falling to prey in her time of sadness. They are sly indeed. This is why we all must stay in the scriptures to know truth and false.
      Do not always follow the heart for truth.
      May you Blind Truth have your blindness removed by the Living God and serve Him.
      Hear, believe, confess, repent, be baptized,
      Bible only, no other books!
      God does not need any help to to clarify what prophets, apostles, and Jesus said.

    Children grow & play in heaven. My baby girl was born 1 1/2 most prematurely when I had a complete abruption & I lost 2/3 of my blood. God spared my life but was merciful by letting me have my baby for 9 days before she passed. I had 2 dreams of her. I was sad as I would never get to play with her or hear her laugh. I got to play with her in 1 dream & hear her laugh while playing with other kids. Both dreams had the same scenery & both ended the same exact way. God is good. God gives & takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.

    My beloved wife was called to glory on 19th April 2021. She was just 28 years and left me and my kids alone. She accepted Jesus as her personal saviour 5 years ago and lived a faithful life. It's very hard to digest and I am going through the pain like never before. But now I am comfortable by listening to the word of God. Hoping to see her and reunite with her when I go to God. I want to see her as soon as possible and be with her eternally ever and ever. Lord Jesus, please come soon.

      Imagining the sorrow that would befall a nonbeliever losing someone should be a motivator in our lives to share the good news of salvation as much as we can.
      I will pray for you and your family, brother. Stay strong and use your time here to guide your children and earn everlasting rewards in heaven.

    I attended your church regularly with my son many years ago. In my heart you were our Pastor. You helped me by phone several times and I have never forgotten your heart for God. I want to say Thank you. Most recently, The Lord put you on my heart and prompted me to search your messages on CZcams just in the past week or so after my mom passed away April 25th and she is in Heaven with Lord. Praise God! Your messages have really been such a blessing in the midst of this time of grief & relief that mom is with the Lord. (Grief and Relief is something only God can God cause you & I to be successful in dealing with at the same time. The Lord has been placing Heaven on my heart even more....to become & even a greater focus as well.
    Truly in Christ Thank you!!!! You are a real blessing. I moved to Texas in 96...In Alabama now.

B - Believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and rose from the dead on the third day. And C - called on the name of the Lord Jesus and asked Him to forgive you. God bless.

The morning of her funeral services I woke up around 5:00 a.m. with myself on the floor watching this CZcams video this exact same one talking about heaven when I woke up it was towards the middle of the video when I woke up the video was playing and I was looking around like why am I watching this why am I sitting on the floor I continue to watch the video and pastor got to the part where he said heaven was like Disneyland how everyone wants to get there but not work for it when I heard that I have broke down and started crying because the day before my fiance passed away we had just booked the trip for our son's first birthday and it was going to be at Disneyland ever since that day I subscribed and been following pastor for about 3 months or so I was at so much at peace knowing that my fiance went to heaven the day before she passed we had took our son to see Christmas lights when we turn the radio on so the music was playing for the Christmas lights it just happened to be on a Christian program the pastor was talking about if you believe in heaven and if you believe in Jesus as your savior I lower the radio down and I asked my fiance if she believes in heaven and Jesus as her savior she said yes. We will go to church every Sunday I know my fiance truly believed in the Lord is our savior and I truly believe now even to this day with all my faith and beliefs that there is a heaven and at this that we live now is our afterlife because once we pass we will be an eternal life in heaven with all our loved ones

    The Bible says the 3rd Heaven is high above the Earth being a advantage for surveilling earth activities, however once your outside Earth's atmosphere, then what's may be define as up or down latitudes, especially when your beyond Earth's magnetic field. Knowing Christ their plentiful things for him to keep humans busy and engaged, example Museum of God's creation with exact replications of Galaxy exhibits, Music Halls of praise. No necessary Sun for illumination. Great food you don't need to eat to live daily, Tree Of life. Great clothes, robes.

As I ran away, the concrete on the sidewalk I was running on ripped off the street and I couldn't run or jump as I was too high in the sky. So i was pulled up while hanging onto a square contrete slab from the sidewalk. But it was alarming mostly because there was many people on earth that weren't being raptured...

    I doubt you would remember me Greg but I grew up hearing your sermons and always attending Harvest Crusades and bringing my friends (one in particular where Phil Keaggy electrified the Anaheim Stadium crowd). You (and Ravi Zacharias) inspired me to pursue studying apologetics and leading my local chapters of Campus Crusade for Christ while studying history at UCLA then at Harvard for graduate school. Although I no longer believe in the supernatural or in the existence of any god or gods, I admire that you are someone who believes what you are preaching, you are up there with the greatest like Billy Graham. I don't agree with your dismissal however that, "Atheists don't understand the hope of Jesus ..." Not true. I, like many others, was a sincere Christian and my walk with God was my entire life. But thank you Greg for being honest and speaking your mind. I actually hope YOU are right, I would love to go join my lost family members in heaven many of whom I have lost. I just don't find there to be an evidence for this to be the case and unlike Pascal's Wager erroneously assumes, I cannot fool myself into believing something I do not. Regardless, peace and respect my man.

  • @jn5962

    Pastor, the third heaven is actually Hades - the place of the dead.
    "heaven" is a spiritual space for spiritual beings to live in and operate.
    Earth provides physical space for physical creatures to live in and operate.
    On earth, land and sea are different living spaces for land and sea creatures.
    • God made the first heaven - the "Heaven", for His spiritual creatures (angels) to dwell in.
    • He also made a heaven on earth's surface, i.e. second heaven, so that angels can operate in, on earth .
    • He made the third heaven deep in the earth for souls of the dead, and also a bottomless pit for evil spirits to be imprisoned.
    Hades, the third heaven, has two compartments: Paradise and Hell, the holding places for the godly and ungodly dead.
    The criminal hung on the cross next to Jesus, followed him into Paradise, where the godly dead are taken good care of. Actually, the godly dead of the earth are presently alive, living in their body and soul in Paradise.
    Paradise is the "Father's House where there are many rooms.... " where Jesus go to make a place for each of his own that they may be where he is. Jn 14:2
    God and Jesus are in all three heavens, for the three heavens adjoin one another.
    Paul did not actually go to the third heaven, as he thought.
    For no one enters Paradise or Hell can return to life on earth until the set time has come.
    I myself died, my body laid on the hospital bed, but my soul was brought to the door of Paradise.
    There, before the doorway, I met my Lord Jesus, and we had a conversation.
    He smiled, and I returned to my body.
    Today I live, and I will live forevermore.

The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21

Before those devastating hurricanes, millions were told to evacuate, those that didn’t put themselves and first responders at risk of death. God can take a tragedy and turn it for good, many call on the name of Jesus and are saved during these times. What has happened in your life that made you turn away? You can only call God a vile name for so long before He hardens your heart and blinds your eyes to the truth forever. I ask you to seek Him, ask for forgiveness and tell Him you are sorry. He forgives those who ask forgiveness.

      I think Laurie and many others (myself included) use the word "Heaven" and "the New Kingdom" interchangeably. Broad strokes, they're the same thing, but there is a biblical distinction. Christ does come to reestablish his kingdom at the end of the age, where the earth is renewed to the way God intended it to be, where sin and death is gone, and we rule with Christ forevermore. Streets of gold, beautiful waters, trees, etc. That's what most people are talking about. Heaven is this holy, "other" dimension where the throne of God is now but will someday come to earth when the new kingdom is established.
      So, there is a distinction and you're right to notice, but for broadstrokes purposes, I think it's fine to call "The New Kingdom" and "Heaven" the same thing, and vice versa.

    Well Greg Laurie that atheist site was correct you do not have any evidence of heaven all you have is what you have read from a book and we both know that the Bible is often in error and demonstrably so, which means you have a belief in heaven and a faith of what you read in the Bible as being true, which would be exactly the same for theists of other religions which have a belief in a paradise in the next life.
    If you do not think that there is a future judgment for you then why can you not do whatever the heck you want to do? In all honesty, Christians who think this way scares me they are only good because of fear and only good because they think that they are going to get a reward for being so? Well as an atheist I do not need rewards for doing actions which are good I do good because I want to do good and as for not doing whatever the heck I want to do, well there is the fact that I know a legal system actually exists, in reality, one which will take away my freedom if I act in ways that do not conform to society and as I believe in this life then I do not want to spend it in prison, and I cannot avoid these punishments by saying I believe in the Judges son and he will serve the punishment I should be receiving either. On top of that, I am part of an empathetic species so if I did something which harmed others then I would have to live with the guilty feeling associated with such actions.
    You claim that we crave and it is hardwired in us but I have never had such a craving for such a place maybe I got wired up wrong but firstly I do not think that such a place could possibly exist for me given that the same native that tells us of heaven also tells us of hell in which Yahweh would torture those that do not meet his standard will be tortured for eternity, now given that there is a strong possibility that at least a portion of your loved ones will end up in hell then I have to say that I cannot possibly be happy when I know my loved ones are being tortured I simply cannot be that self-centered and I honestly do not know how anyone could be happy existing in the knowledge that at least some of their loved ones are being tortured, especially if they are in the presence of the one who is carrying out such evil.

      If your loved ones are in Hell, they made a choice, as you must, that they refused to accept God's gift of salvation, provided by the sacrifice of Jesus, God's only begotten Son, on the Cross of Calvary. John 3:16. God's love provided an avenue of rescue from the punishment we all deserve because of our sins against Him. If we reject his Son, God's Word is clear that we bring on our own condemnation.

      ​@@heldforeverbygod Yes maybe my loved ones committed the sin of wearing mixed fabric, ate seafood, or maybe they did not kill their child if they cursed at them? Of course, they would deserve to burn for eternity for such things according to your religion, but that is because your religion is monstrous, so much so that the overwhelming amount of Christian choose to ignore a lot of the things that the Bible either forbids or instructs them to do.

      Leviticus 20:9 9"'Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head.
      Exodus 21:17 17"Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.
      Proverbs 20:20 20If someone curses their father or mother, their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.
      Matthew 15:4 4For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.'
      Deuteronomy 21:18-21 18If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard." 21Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
      Taken it out of context have I? What are you trying to say that when the Bible repeatedly repeats the same message throughout different books, it does not mean what it clearly repeatedly says and in reality means something totally different? So tell me in what context is it ok for you to kill your own child for nothing more than cursing you?

      @Ryan Stark Well Ryan are you going to demonstrate how I have not understood these multiple verses all of which state the same thing out of context and am showing a lack of knowledge? Of is it you who realised how immoral this instruction actually is and have tried to do some mental gymnastics to try and somehow justify it by taking it out of context and are trying to deny the very clear message it is giving you? Personally I think it id you who needs to understand what you are actually believing in.

      @Ryan Stark Ryan Stark I was a Chrisitan for the first 14 or so years of my like do not blame the ignorance of your bible on me not having read it. Your job to explain why these laws do not apply anymore? Perhaps instead of listening to you trying to make excuses for why these laws do not count anymore, I should read what the Bible actually says on the matter? Matthew 5:18“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”, still I guess that you know better than the god you are supposedly worshipping, and since when is your god supposedly changing? Still, as an atheist, it most certainly is not my job to teach you about what the biblical scriptures actually say.
      "Blind Truth I don’t think you understand the difference between the old and new testament,"
      Really so you are telling me that Matthew 15:4 is old testament? Ryan, I really do suggest that you actually read the Bible and understand what it actually says before you accuse others of being ignorant of it.
