To me heaven may mean more than one thing. The first thing I think of (apart from the visible sky) is the place where God lives and where his throne is. It is the place from where he rules the universe. This also has to be the home of the angels. However, heaven is much more than this, I think the universe is inhabited by intelligent beings like ourselves. Planets out there where people live, people that did not accept the suggestions of Lucifer/Satan. On these planets there is peace and happiness as it will one day be on planet earth as well, according to the promise. Yes we are part of a big family, and I think these intelligent beings out there are waiting for the war between good and evil will one day cease and we can all meet in peace.

Edit1:
It is the translation of your mind from this body in this dimension to another dimension. Hence you will have a new body. See new colors. Hear new sounds. But you will be you with more capacity. We will become extra-dimensional beings like the angels.
Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
They can take on physical form if want to not only choosing shape but say even genetics ect.
I am christian non-denominational. Just as Jesus didn't have a denomination. Jesus had a relationship with God. By the Holy Spirit he left us. John 14:26 It will teach you. It is the spirit of God... it is God but God inhabits you as a temple. We are his church. Not the building. The people hence tithe to the church is helping the needy ect.
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
1Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Corinthians 15:51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Heaven is eternity spent in the presence of God, praising him and giving glory to His name. Initially it sounds kind of boring, but people don't take time to think about the fact that those aren't just one thing. It's no more sorrow, tears, suffering, or pain. There's a great feast with the best food and wine. Perfect intimacy with God and others (not sex, but a spiritual intimacy). You get a new, perfect body, you know everyone there. It is the best place you could go, but sinful man's intellect cannot understand it, so we are given all sorts of imagery that can be seen as both literal and metaphorical.
I'm Reformed- My beliefs best line up with those of Reformed Baptists or Reformed Presbyterians.

Kinda both. To me it's a real place where the soul is at complete peace and joy. Or in simpler words, just imagine the very best day in your life or your most joyous memory - that's Heaven but infinity times better and forever.

Heaven is the state of supreme and definitive happiness, the goal of the deepest longings of humanity.

God's kingdom. Where He lives, or where He is.
Define God, then maybe heaven could be described. The bible doesn't say much about it, other than what I've covered
Christianity isn't about how to get into heaven. It's how to live your life the way God wants. Getting into heaven is incidental to the bible's purpose.

Fresh pair of silk pajamas and a box of chocolates, listening to Seether, Linkin Park or Mandy Moore.

Confusion isn't of God, as a bring about case you're puzzled this is via listening to guy and not the Spirit of God. Heaven is a real place! Hell is a real place! It relies upon on guy/female the place they choose for to spend eternity. The word of God (the Bible as all of us realize it) tells us the only thank you to the father is thru His Son. meaning precisely what? meaning that if we've self belief upon the call of Jesus (Immanuel) we are saved. although, we would desire to admit this in public with our very own mouth. devil believes in God! yet, he does not have self belief upon the call of Jesus. as a result, devil would be solid to the pit of hell alongside with anybody who have not got self belief upon the call of Jesus. you are able to desire to ask, what approximately those from the previous testomony. they had to have self belief upon God the father, reason Christ Jesus replaced into not yet born. Christ Jesus is God contained in the flesh! many don't understand how God is the writer, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. in basic terms like i'm a daughter, sister, and aunt. 3 types yet one guy or woman! comparable with God... the father, the Son, the Holy Spirit (Comforter). Heaven is for all who have self belief contained in the Godhead... as you stumble on in the two the Bible and the Torrah...... in Genesis a million we see all 3 sorts of God cutting-edge. He tells in financial disaster 9 "...enable us to make guy in OUR image"..... The identify "Christian" did not ensue until eventually after the dying and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Its a identify for people who have self belief and stick to Jesus Christ. Catholics are Christian, even nonetheless a number of them might say they don't look to be Christian. Mormons are Christian, even nonetheless their identify is Mormon. Jeovah Witness are Christian, even nonetheless they're referred to as via their doctrine identify. once you're a believer contained in the residing God... you're certain for heaven. in case you have self belief or stick to somebody or ingredient different than God the father/Son/Holy Spirit you're certain for hell. era!!! some won't agree, yet this is great.

Heaven is residing with God, being close to Him. I dont know that we "do" much when we get there, but we will experience an eternity of peace and joy.
