Jesus raised Lazarus (only recorded in John), but if heaven was anything to shout about, Lazarus should have been having a hissy fit for being brought out of paradise. What? And just for Jesus to prove a point, FFS?Actually, those that accept redemption through Christ Jesus, only spend a brief period in Heaven (time from physical death until the 1000 year reign of Christ on Earth which is after the 7-year Tribulation period). During that reign, believers are back on this Earth. After that, the Earth is changed (one way is that 2'nd law of thermodynamics ceases - entropy/decay). There is some indication that this 'new' Earth will be trillion times larger than is the current size.
Wouldn't a first-hand heavenly account by Lazarus trump anything in scripture? Perhaps it all just make-believe.
Once God creates a spiritual being, they never cease, i.e., the angel host watched as God laid out the foundation of the Earth, 4 1/2 bya.
I notice you dodged an exceptionally simple question. Quoting more stuff which no doubt you hope to be true e.g. 'Actually, those that accept...' and, 'There is some indication that...' doesn't cut it.
How do you know? Actually.
