    no. there is not meant that all books say are real.This is depend upon the personal thinking and view point. it is depend on author who wrote book and time when the book is write also sometimes their imaginary work

    But fact is that heaven is in earth not anywhere if you feel beause earth is very beatiful creation of god. why we are thinking about that heaven is different place from the earth.

    every thing is avaible in earth beatiful trees , birds , mountants everything if you feel and enjoy your life .

    yes i belive that heaven is in our heart if you are able to feel happyness , sorrow, enjoy and whole life spent with enjoyment and unity

    Jesus says ....that if you believe then he will come and sup with you ....hang out ///eat .. talk , guide ,help you ...i'm a little tired of people saying that because they don't know christ that no one else is allowed to become one with jesus.. Just cuz you don't get it doesn't make it not true ...thats why it's called the gospels cuz it's good news .. people say it's believe but I say it's fact after you believe .... i don't just sorta believe something ... That would be a joke ... i get it .. it ain't that ...

    There is no proof of an after life based on the evidence of the world. Christians believe the claims made by individuals that have had revelations from God. It is primarily a hope based on faith, rather than on tangible evidence (which only a handful of disciples and followers had the privilege of receiving).

    John 20:24-29

    24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

    26 After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”

    The Holy Bible is not "just any book". It is the holy, written Word of the Living God, given to humanity to point us to Jesus, Lord of all, King of kings, Who will reign forever. The Bible can in no way be compared to any other book, because it was prophetically, supernaturally revealed to God's prophets as they wrote what God gave them to write, for all of us to have. It is God's love letter to man....to show us how to be set free from sin and death. It is your choice whether to believe that or not. God offers you heaven and his eternal love and riches....satan has nothing for you but eternal hell...outside of God's presence....that is what hell is....being totally outside of God's presence......the epitome of evil, forever, surrounding you. Why would anyone choose to go there?

    The fear of the unknown, to what may happen after we die, the concept of the people we love when they die they are turn into nothingness all these things led the people to invent religion, god, heaven and later hell as deterrent for people.

    Because it's in a book that some guy decided to write a long time ago!

    You'll never change their minds about it.

    All you need is a man with some charisma and powerful stories and it's easy to make people believe in almost anything.

    i was brought up catholic. catholic schooling, church all the time, the whole bit. i don't believe any of it. but i won't talk smack about people who do. if it adds some sort of purpose to their life, good for them.

    people want to believe in heaven because, let's face it, earth sucks. it would be nice if there was something better after this.
