You will remember that in the parable, the saved go to a place prepared for them, while the damned go to a place never made for men at all. To enter Heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth; to enter hell, is to be banished from humanity.

Sometimes Heaven scares me.
What will it be like?
What is “the new earth”?
Will we have anything from current earth?
What will our existence be like?But I know I shouldn’t worry, because I can’t imagine how sublime it will be. I think that’s the scariest part. I can’t physically conceptualize the feeling of being with the Father. I trust Him, but I am apprehensive.
Are you seriously okay sharing heaven with a serial killer
I’m gonna have to be ok with it. We won’t be the same in Heaven anyways. There will be no sin so I won’t even care! God loves us all and there’s nothing I can do about that! I gotta love everybody.
If a serial killer was in heaven, then that means that they repented of their sins. Everybody who gives their life to God is a changed person.
Yepp!
It’s weird how the same people who stay stuff like “I’ll just chill with Satan in hell” are the ones who are afraid of being around a former murderer who saw what he or she had become and repented. Like even if hell wasn’t eternal torment and isolation, you’d still be around all of the most evil, unrepentant people of all time. Hell isn’t the cool place where you can hang out with your gay spouse forever any more than heaven is a place where unrepentant serial killers are allowed to roam free. I really do hope that a lot of people who say things like this are just ignorant and/or misinformed, because I can understand antipathy towards heaven if you think all of the holier-than-thou, real-christian-women-are-convicted-to-wear-skirts-and-if-you-don’t-then-you’re-hellbound, if-your-parents-died-of-cancer-it-just-means-you-didn’t-pray-enough fake Christians are going to be there. But those people, unless they genuinely repent of their wrongheaded beliefs, aren’t on the path to heaven either.
