Where is Heaven? Up there, out there, in another dimension?

It is not likely down there.

Heaven isn't anywhere. It exists outside of time and space. "Somewhere", as we understand it, exists only where space exists. This is exactly what led the Pope to state that heaven and hell are not necessarily "places" as we understand the term, but may validly be thought of as "modes of existence". Heaven and hell will continue to exist after space and time, and therefore every "place" as we understand that term, cease to exist.

I believe that Heaven is a place where a body can exist. Our Lady has a body. Our Lord has a body and two others were take up according to the old testament. So it is a real place. As the other writer says ,though we don't know where it is, if we do God's Holy will we will have no trouble finding it when we die.

If God is omnipresent, then how can he be absent from hell?

IF God was not present to something then that thing would cease to exist.

-- Fr. Paul (pjdoucet@hotmail.com), February 18, 2005.

Which again suggests that hell is a state of existence rather than an actual place. God exists in every place, but hell is the state of total separation from God.

Heaven is in our spirit.

Everyone has a different idea of where Heaven is. Where, and what, is Paradise. I donn't think that it is Heaven. Is it Limbus Patrum?

-- Pete (Chas@charlie.com), February 19, 2005.

God would never create a place where one could be away from God. God could not have created hell. But in choosing to reject God one would be choosing to reject that which created them, thus, they would be choosing to reject that which maintains their own existence. You cannot stop existing, because your own existence is not something you can control, but you can cut your relationship with God.

Now I have trouble grasping how one could seperate their self from God but still be in the presence of God. It's a brainbuster...

But like Paul says...Eye has not seen, right?
