@BenardoP Says:
So i might have a little disagreement here, Jesus when He gave His testimony about the rich man and lazarus it seemed to me very physical description, also the word "Heaven" is mostly a theological word, in greek and most other language is translated as "sky above" so the shorter awnser is: we are going to dind out when we die.
@kajd400 Says:
Colossians 3:1-3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 1. ABOVE, 2. WHERE CHRIST IS, 3. SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD… easy enough, it's above us. NOT a "non-where place."
@frostedflakes164 Says:
If 1000 years on earth = 1 day In heaven you can see how far it is and go there. But you can’t just go there. So you’d have to map out the area, ultimately finding it. That would be impossible though with the tech we have.
@sharonmccann1421 Says:
If heaven is an immaterial place then where did Jesus go when he ascended because when Jesus ascended he ascended in a physical glorified body. I don’t think Frank’s answer makes sense because Jesus ascended in a glorified physical body not only in spirit.
So how could Jesus who was physical go to a non physical place. Also if angels are more than sororit then how can they live in a non physical heaven??? All this doesn’t seem to be logical.

@josephperez8682 Says:
But he didn’t mention god. His question was “where is heaven” so giving an answer as “god isn’t a spacial being” doesn’t answer his question
@weldenjon Says:
So, is this man saying that God and souls don’t occupy space? Really? He knows this how? From reading scripture? Here is the thing. faith in God does not guarantee true understanding or knowledge of God. Having faith in someone or something is not knowledge! Although, many who preach the word claim they know the answers. But all they really have is their opinion and that is what they should be saying.
@edgarmorales4476 Says:
Jesus told us clearly that HEAVEN IS WITHIN US!
Meaning that LIFE is the source of ALL we can ever want - as long as we allow it to work in us by sweeping away all doubt AND by BELIEVING THAT IT WILL BRING US INTO PROSPERITY, JOY AND FULFILLMENT to the extent we can rid our minds and emotions of human thoughts and feelings.
THIS is what Jesus meant when he said: "I came to bring you life more abundant." Jesus came - and he has RETURNED now - to awaken us to the fact that LIFE within us, grows us first of all, then grows our plans, hopes, expectations, brings to us all the necessary assistance to enable our plans, hopes and dreams to grow in the right and perfect way which will bring life to other people too. IT enters into our difficulties and brings healing where our heart is sore or our bodies succumb to illness. IT mends catastrophes in our life in the same way as IT heals broken bones. IT fulfills all our needs as they arise - in the perfect way. And LIFE, unlike human beings, maintains a system of order in all IT undertakes to do.
All these are "LIFE MORE ABUNDANT" - more than we dreamed possible.

@BeachBumZero Says:
I think it is a mistake to keep saying God is timeless and spaceless. Yes, God is timeless and spaceless compared to the time and spatial dimensions we exist within in this universe, and because God created this universe, so yes He is outside this universe, but outside of this universe there may be a realm that exists that contains even more spatial dimensions and several dimensions of time that far exceed our understanding. God may exist in what seems like 3 dimensions of time and 10 dimensions of space. The bible says that our reality is merely a shadow of the true reality of the realm of God. I say realm of God because it isn't a created place, but just the fulness of who God is.
@JamesRichardWiley Says:
According to Jesus the kingdom of heaven is within you.
So when you die where do you go to get to heaven?
@terfybrown9349 Says:
DISAGREE. Jesus has a physical body and ascended to heaven. Elijah and Enoch were taken, body and soul, to heaven.
@timothyn4699 Says:
I don't think it makes sense to say there is no space/time, it's possible He can be above/beyond us, or that He can somehow see the whole timeline and what ppl end up choosing, perhaps, but I don't think it makes sense to say there's no space/time outside of physical space/time
I suppose the assumption is that physical space/matter/time all came into being at the same time, the big bang it seems, so whatever created that must be beyond that.
but I'm the same way we can have virtual reality, and within that have virtual space, couldn't the same be said of the spiritual? There's still space and time, but in a different realm. While God may be beyond time and has a potential ability to be omnipresent, that doesn't extend to all spiritual beings, I don't believe. If so, if it can be exclusive, then that may be more a "God" thing rather than saying that space in the spiritual realm doesn't exist
similarly with time. It's possible for God to have no beginning and end, but everything else, like other spiritual beings like angels, appear to have a beginning. If that's the case, that doesn't mean time or sequential events doesn't exist or occur outside of physical time, but just that it started earlier for some rather than others (God vs other created beings, who had a beginning)
it's like again, computers or the virtual/digital realm, as an example. There's some point in time which is like, the beginning of when computers started, which is time/milliseconds 0, and the computer time we have now all tracks the milliseconds from that 0 point, I think it's like Jan 1 1960 or something. So, computer time started then, but that doesn't mean time itself didn't exist or wasn't happening/passing before then, it was, even if ppl were unaware or not tracking it
(all to say, I think it doesn't make sense to say time or space didn't exist prior to big bang. Perhaps it didn't exist for us, in this physical realm, but it existed elsewhere in God's realm, time and spiritual matter/substance of some kind (presuming all spirits are not omnipresent, which seems to make sense. Stories like Job have the angels presenting themselves before God. That wouldn't make sense if they were ever and always together. You wouldn't be able to 'appear' before God unless you could first leave His presence)
@drumrnva Says:
As ever, Turek makes assertions he cannot possibly support. He doesn't know A SINGLE THING MORE THAN YOU DO about the answer to these questions.
@littleshrederdude Says:
Nope, but through the firmaments / heavens. Jesus ascended into the heavens.. literally! The Father sits above the circle of the earth, and yes amen Frank, that new kingdom/garden/mountain/city will come down and God will dwell with man fully again down on the renewed earth.
@eriknelson2559 Says:
Heaven is not a place you can aim at
@KeilaniAperaamo Says:
Thanks for pointing that out, everyone that does not know- it's Revelation 21. A New Earth and A New Heaven and God will dwell amongst his people verse 3.
@EarthResearch Says:
It is exactly where our inerrant Bible tells us where it is. It is above us. There is a firmament as described in Genesis and Job, and the Lord sits on his throne above us. Wow, I am surprised at how many people don't believe and know this.
@EarthResearch Says:
Frank, if it is non-spatial then why does the Bible use spatial terminology to describe the location of Heaven. If you wanted to be logically consistent then Haven is above us. It's as simple as that. I am disappointed in your take! I am not surprised because you deny the firmament and the waters above so...
@davewil3 Says:
Well, a progressive UCC pastor I know decided heaven and hell are not real places, they are what we make of our life on earth. Sad.
@palepants9475 Says:
We all preach for people to get saved so God or Jesus comes to live in our hearts. Love goes both ways (just like sex). At the same time God comes to live in us, Jesus took us to God (the Father) to be with Him in Heaven to His innermost chamber---the throne room.
It is why Jesus said in John 14:28 "You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced [k]because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I"
Ephesians 2:6 says we are already seated with Him in heavenly places. " and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus"
How else do you explain Jesus saying He would always be with us (at the end of Matthew), being true at the same time Scripture explains He is now seated at the right hand of the Father?
Matthew 28:20 "teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Romans 8:34 "who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us."
I personally believe scripture leaves open the left hand of the Father as our place to come be with Him.
@jimjuri6490 Says:
Heaven is a real place. Jesus had to return to heaven to offer the value of his sacrifice to God. Hebrews 9:24.
1 Kings 8:30 And listen to your servant’s request for favor and to the request by your people Israel that they pray toward this place, and may you hear from YOUR DWELLING PLACE IN THE HEAVENS; yes, may you hear and forgive.
"Our Father who is IN HEAVEN. Let YOUR NAME be sanctified." (Matthew 6:9).
No one takes any trip when they die. They CEASE TO EXIST with death. Ecclesiastes 9:10.
@PeterOldwood Says:
I don't agree. Jesus is in heaven now, and He is a spacial being so heaven must be a where place. I believe heaven is a spacial place somewhere in space.
@Mavors1099 Says:
Then, where is Jesus now? According to the bible, he ascended to heaven in his human carbonic body.
@Mavors1099 Says:
Heaven is above the dome that covers the earth, according to the bible.

@EdwardRomanOficial Says:
What’s sad is that there are some atheist (not all but some) that are not genuinely seeking evidence of God’s existence, although they say they do, but are just simply looking to put us down.
Plus, some want us to keep our faith to ourselves but they’re okay with cussing in front of children for them to hear and are okay with teaching even children that it’s good to hold grudges against anybody. They accuse us of hating, but they themselves (and again I mean some) cuss at us, sometimes physically attack us and sometimes even wish us death. And I say this with respect. I welcome any respectful reply, if I even get any.

@bobh6728 Says:
While maybe not accurate, if you think of heaven as another dimension, it helps you understand some aspects of heaven. You can’t physically go there apart from God taking you there. That will only happen if you accept the one that is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. So repent and accept Jesus as your savior and you will know the Way to heaven.

@user-gv8xf9ul5j Says:
Heaven has no evil, proving that god can create a world with both free will and no sin. This shows that god is not all-good and wanted evil to exist in this world
@elbertsorrell8394 Says:
I don't know if we can say with certainty that God is not a spacial being. Although I think we can say that He can not be contained. I also don't think we can say that Heaven is a nowhere place. Jesus ascended somewhere when He left. He said that He was leaving here to go & prepare a place for us. If to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, where are we present?
@d1427 Says:
Heaven is not a physical place but our bodies [which are physical] will be recreated no pain, no problems, etc.- how does that make sense?! More importantly, how did you come up with that, Frank?

New Covenant Whole Gospel:
What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. What brings all local churches together into one Body under the blood of Christ? The answer is found below.
Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him.
He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? What did Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36)
We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24.
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
The following verses prove the Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those now in the New Covenant.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1Corinthians 15:51
Do your children, like me, ever irritate you, God, when we complain while you have to drag us to a place where we can receive blessings from your hand? For days l whine about having to go here or there. After a crazy, harried week, I just want to stay home and relax in my pajamas; l don't want to get dressed up and make small talk with people l barley know. I did not anticipate the gifts you had for me there. Thank you, Patient Friend, for gifts wrapped in experiences l've tried to reject.
A life in disarray is ripe for a second chance.
Yet, how often we seem intent upon missing it. In God's hands, troubles can be disguised invitations into a new life.
