@sun basically viewing it as a very happy land up above where you reunite with your dead relatives and jesus is there too. whereas jesus emphasized that no one has a husband or wife in heaven
@sun@shitposter.world@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz if the angelic hosts are hanging around and are are equivalent to the brain melting versions as opposed to adult cupids- would be a little different experience.
@georgia yeah its true. there are plenty of christians that think though that heaven is just you get to stare at God for eternity because that is the best thing you could comprehend
@georgia ah yes I see! That roughly tracks with what I thought might be your conception although not being of the stripe I wouldn't have been able to say it in such detail. I also appreciate the disambiguation. Do you have a formulation of the Christian heaven which you would consider biblical or are you mostly just pointing out the lack of biblical grounding in most peoples' conceptions? (either is fine. Again no particular comment I'm just curious)
@binkle I see biblical christian heaven as a place of light filled with the holy presence of God where people are in a state of theosis with glorified bodies made of light and everyone serves God and is in a state of communion with Him
@georgia wow that's a lot closer to the way I've heard the church describe it than I was expecting! Nice :hapyday: I know you don't necessarily agree with it, but I appreciate that you have such a sharp definition of it
