[scipii]

Heaven is not a place; it is only a state of mind

The miracles of Jesus were only "so called"

Hi scipii,

Did you have a question for us to answer?

No, you're not right. :)

On the first one, it makes no sense. Heaven is a state of mind after one loses consciousness? How is this possible?

For the second one, how do you know the miracles did not occur? If Jesus was God and if God can intervene in nature, how is it possible the miracles didn't occur?

Hi there - heaven is a very very real place. I have actually seen a small part of it in an open-eyed vision. It is impossible to describe the beauty of it in a mortal language. God bless.

Jesus Himself said that He was going to prepare a "place" for believers. He talked of His "Father's house". He said to pray, Our Father who art "in" Heaven.

Surely the preposition "in" denotes the object "Heaven" (a noun). A Noun is a person, place or thing. In this context, "place" is appropriate.;);)

"Our Father, who art in a "state of mind"?

Hmmmm. Does quite work.
