If our sanctification is not fully complete when we die, what will the final purging be like (before we enter heaven)?
Claire’s answer to this question is at http://www.stillcatholic.com/CATHPurg.htm
BELOW, AUGUSTINE DISCUSSES THE MANY MANSIONS IN HEAVEN, AND HOW CHRISTIANS WITH GREATER MERIT (THOSE WHO LABOR HARDER WHILE ON EARTH) WILL HAVE GREATER ETERNAL GLORY THAN OTHERS IN HEAVEN (but all with any grace will go to heaven)
******************************************************************************************************************************A few more Bible verses on how we’ll be transformed in heaven:
“…it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know that when he shall appear we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.” [1 Jn 3:2]
“But we all, beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord” [2 Cor 3:18]
“Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped” [Is 35:5-10]
“For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also” [Mt 6:21]
“And night shall be no more. And they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten then. And they shall reign for ever and ever” [Rev. 22:3-5)

HEAVEN: WHY ARE PEOPLE SO HAPPY THERE?

You have to ask?
It must be a great place. No one ever comes back to tell us about it.
We will only be a reflection of His grace....
I do not care what I will be then....I only want be with my Savior Jesus.
The only place where Socialism works?
My advice is to recognize that Scripture tells you all you can comprehend rather than trying to elaborate on what you can’t comprehend anyway. Speculation about the afterlife leads to things like someone making up an entirely new religion based on what they think makes for a logical afterlife rather than sticking to Scripture.
I remember there was this book about this kid and I think I had seen a FR thread somewhere about him being in Heaven for a short time.
I guess the best place to read about what heaven is like is in the Bible, and what i read is most likely not to be taken literally, for instance streets of gold and all of that.
So i don,t have any idea what heaven is like and will have to admit the only reason i would have for wanting to go there would be that i don,t want to go to hell, what ever that is.
And whats more i don,t think any one on this earth knows and i don,t think we are supposed to know.
I will be happy to be with God. I can’t even imagine eternity without him. That would be hell.
