My opinion Only mind u. But Heven, if u want to use what we call politicly correct word. But, Heaven is something that we attain. or is attainable. but its attainable through our actions, dedication and hardwork. Just as jesus did. We live a series of lifetimes. that number can be 1 or infinete. But, the goal is to Reach HEAVAN. the way we do that is...well, lets look at it as SCHOOL. In school the object is to graduate. Heaven exist but its something we all have to graduate too. Now GOD in his infinite wisdom has give all of us the curriculum. that is to do the right thing. follow all the laws. So, since its like a school setup. your preachers or rabbi's or whatever, is the teachers. Its our duty to get up each day go to school follow the lesson plans, follow the rules set buy the schools, follow the creed of the school. do all of our assignments and homework. If we do these things, as put forth. We will graduate to the next grade. If we don't do these things as set forth. Then the consequences is. We get sent back to do that grade all over again. Well, in life we live lifetime like Grades. If we do all the right things as set forth for us. By Both Jesus and GOD. then, with each lifetime we potentually move on to the next grade or level. Assuming that we do this for 12 grades Then. someday we GRADUATE. When we pass on from one lifetime to another. we enter a holding area u may call it. that area is basiclly a holding area of conselors and Tutorers. There we are Consoled and Tutored assuming even there we are paying attention Many or most of us don't pay attention. But, weather u are or not. u will be sent back into another life form. Either as one grade closer or as the same grade. Now these grades or lifetimes can be many, throwing out some number it can be Thousand of lifetime. if u don't know Soul are OLD very OLD. some souls can be over 50 billion years old. But because GOD love us all. and because GOD believe in us all. He give u all the lifetimes to get it right. to graduate. and when u do decide to listen, do the curriculumn and GRADUATE. Then u will enter a place call Heaven. That place is beside GOD. Actaully Co-Creating with GOD. So, Heaven can be here right on earth, But it is an assemelation of the larger picture. And Hell if there is such a thing. is the woe's of not following the lesson plan. Like the punishment u get for not doing the school work or not turning in your homework assignment. and all the ramification of that.  Sorry for babbling. Hope this shedded some light.  Of course this is just my views. and is not to be Believd.

the life we are living can infact be heaven. we just need to mold it well and enjoy each and every day of our life with our loved ones- that is the true essence of heaven, the paradise of our lives.

The afterlife (or life after death) is a generic term referring to a continuation of existence, typically spiritual and experiential, beyond this world, or after death.  Most religions have theories about the afterlife.

I don't know a lot about Bible, especially the Catholic one, but I agree believe it feels better to believe that heaven exists than not to believe. It doesn't have to be true, the important thing is that it makes you feel better. You believe God exists (or some people believe), you believe love exists, friendship, compassion, hate, anger, all these things are here only psychologically, you don't see them, you can't prove their existence, still you probably believe in them. It's nice to believe in good things.

heaven and hell are real places but they exist extra-dimensionally.

Heaven in Muslim context is something which cannot be described, because it is entirely a different creation. This is reflected in the following verse\n"Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them - as a reward for their (good) deeds." Quran 32:17.\n\nSince there is no means to describe heaven, God uses similtitude of things that people likes in this world to describe heaven.\n"A similitude of the Garden which is promised unto those who keep their duty (to Allah): Underneath it rivers flow; its food is everlasting, and its shade; " Quran 13: 35. \n\nIn earth, sex has got a specific purpose other than enjoyment, that is procreation. There is no need of procreation in heaven so enjoyment there would not be similar to that in earth.

The word heaven means happiness,..so with The LORD, you can have a bit of heaven on earth,...but the bible says that flesh and blood cannot enter The Kingdom of God.

And the place really does exist, it is called Heaven.

After understanding the meaning of heaven... would anyone really desire going to the heaven-\n\n\nHeaven is a place in the mighty Cosmos wherein the souls rest in peace until they get to manifest a body on Mother Earth. But there is one condition attached. Any soul can only go to Heaven provided there is a positive balance of karma in hand.\n\nAll souls with a negative balance of karma go to hell (aka Naraka in Hinduism).\n\nFor every soul (aka Atman in Hinduism) at any point of time there are three abodes available. Either manifest a body on Mother Earth provided matching womb is available (for any soul to manifest on Mother Earth the existence of matching parents is an essential must).\n\nIf the matching parents are not available on Mother Earth then it is imperative that the soul would have to rest either in Heaven or hell based on the balance of karma of the earlier manifestations.\n\nAnd what is karma? Right from the first manifestation the closing balance of any life form is transferred to the next manifestation through the process of karma. It is only karma which keeps the system going. In absence of karma the complete existence of Cosmos would come to a halt.\n\nDoes this mean that the reincarnation and the rebirth theory are correct... yes, they are hundred percent correct. Every human being started his first journey as an amoeba (single cell formation), then evolved into insect life, animal life and finally gained the form of a human being.\n\nIn all these stages the system of Heaven and hell plays role only after one has manifested the form of a human being... the last in the chain of manifestations.\n\nWe need to remember here that it is not Heaven that one would want to go but it is the kingdom of God where Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed went.\n\nEvery enlightened soul rests finally in the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). A place of no return... none can enter the kingdom of God in bodily form. Only souls that have reached the stage of salvation (known as moksha in Hinduism) can enter the kingdom of God.\n\nStarting from the stage of amoeba to reaching the stage of salvation... Announces the end of the journey of the soul! This is also the end goal of every human life. The materialistic oriented human beings who measure everything in terms of money in the present Kali Yuga (the metal age) consider Heaven to be place of enjoyment. And that to with no strings attached.\n\nOur wanton desires and materialistic tendencies prompt us to go to Heaven. Above 99% people on Mother Earth would want to go to Heaven for they do not understand the true meaning of Heaven. Indulgence or no indulgence is for us to decide.\n\nIt is a chain of 8.4 million manifestations as a whole out of which 1.1 million manifestations are in human form alone. The total journey of the soul requires 96.4 million earthly years... a long journey indeed!

That depends on what you believe. There sure are a lot of Christians trying to tell you that they are right, and Jesus is the only way to heaven, but no one can prove this to you for sure.\n\nFirstly, ask yourself, do I believe in heaven, a place where people who made the right choices in life get some kind of continued existence without suffering?\n\nWhat would living be without suffering? If you were never hungry, would you appreciate food? If you were never cold would you really love warmth? \n\nSecondly I would ask this, why focus on a mythical afterlife, for which we have absolutely no proof, rather than focusing on your life now?\n\nI believe that heaven or hell is a place we make in our own minds here on earth. Ever heard that story that hell is a long table, where people with hugely long spoons try to feed themselves, but cannot reach there own mouths, and heaven is a room where people with hugely long spoons feed each other and laugh? Heaven is what we make of ourselves here on earth. \n\nDon't worry about a mythical ever after, be the best person you can, here and now.

There is no Heaven.  If there were a Heaven, I'd have to know more about it to decide whether I'd want to be there.  Yes, if it existed, it might suck.  What would be the purpose of a Heaven anyway, except as a bribe by the churches?  Surely, no god is in need of little humans worshipping him.

Heaven is where God exists and everything is in perfect peace. There is no such thing as time in heaven. Everything is perfect in every way and the ones that reside there will be in perfect harmony\nHell is a place of eternal torment,fire seven times hotter than any fire on earth, complete darkness, no hope of any out, home of the devil and all his demons, no relief,and everything else that produces torment.

Depends on who you talk to. Honestly I dont think anyone knows. People say heaven and hell but not one person can prove what happens after you die, I dont care WHO they are!

Heaven is all around you right now.  It is a state of being and not a place.  You will not have a body once you leave this one and so age is irrelevant.
