Where Is Heaven? Outer Space?

[Nancy]

An older long time Christian and I were talking about this issue.
"Where is Heaven"
I said: "You will find out, because you are going there".
She said: "Where ever that is.....I hope so".

The "I hope so" answer surprised me.

Hello Gary!
Who knows why she said that, the evil one is casting a whole slew of doubts into Christians heads, especially since "he knows his time is short". Do you think that she may be having cognitive issues?
If you know her well enough to know that she once did have confidence in her salvation then it would make me wonder.
Lotsa love,
In Christ

Heaven is where God dwells, the hearts of man. The heavens declare the glory of God.

Enoch and Elijah were taken up to heaven, but where is heaven? Are they floating around in space somewhere? Is heaven in outer space or a different dimension?
Why haven’t any astronauts been able to see it?

poor quality binoculars?

You and your one liners, lol.

Seeing @quietthinker does not know any better, that is all he could muster!

"These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven...." and said: "Father..." John 17:1

you gotta remember that by the definition of large slabs of Christians I qualify as a hairy tic ...ahhh, I mean heretic. I really don't mind because I have learned there is a certain joy amongst those who don't qualify as sheeple...:)

Ahhhh, sheeple! they don't know what questions to ask so they prattle on about irrelevancies....and because they don't ask they don't get. I've got a funny feeling I've heard this before.

I don't know, Nancy.
This was awhile ago and I did not know her that well.
Just recently I heard she passed away.
104 years old.

Do you have any idea how many thousands of light years the universe spans?

Astronauts haven’t even been to the edge of our solar system, let alone the universe.

What makes you think what the astronauts haven’t seen is relevant?

God has complete control of time and the ten dimensions, 6 of which we can’t experience or see into.

Saying we haven’t seen it means nothing.

Heaven could be another dimension in space, or another timeline in space - we have no way of knowing, or even speculating intelligently on its location in space or time.

God bless her heart! She's home. Maybe she faltered a bit with her faith for the moment, but then "He is faithful, even when we're not"

Scripture describes more than one heaven and even mentions a heaven of heavens. Technically, the sky above us is the first heaven. Eg. Birds fly in the heavens.

Heaven is "behind" outer space

Heaven is above the waters which are above the firmament. These "outer sace" non-sense is not biblical.
