it rarely happens to Christians anymore, but I believe the term you're looking for is "enlightened" or "ascended"
To describe heaven in one word is way to easy. Paradise. Mentioned in the bible to describe heaven 3 times.
Most of the people from the Shakespeare's time were Christians. They had the same beliefs about death as Christians currently do. They believed that when you died you went to heaven.
In the bible it says that anyone who is true to a faith will go to heaven, not just christians
None. The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch, a few years after Jesus rose from the dead and went to heaven.
A:In ancient times, Christians certainly thought that heaven, or in some cases the heavens (there being seven heavens), were just above the earth. As late as the early second century, Acts of the Apostles has Stephen see heaven open and he saw Jesus on the right hand of God (Acts 7:55-56). Since the invention of the telescope, this belief can no longer be sustained. Most Christians prefer to avoid the question altogether, while others see heaven as far away in outermost space. The theological position is now usually that heaven is not a place, but a spiritual state.
usually before bed, or in the morning, but really whenever they feel the need or want to!

as many times as God wants a soul to enter heaven.
Storks in heaven appointed times and pliny and the other natural observers observed these times.
That fact is not known. God created the angels in times past, well before the creation of the Earth.
not enough times. But it is sad that hell is used many more times than heaven.
First of all, their very lives depended on not only being Christians but on accepting exactly what the Catholic Church taught. The fate of the Cathars, Christians who believed in heaven and hell but who held somewhat different beliefs than the Catholic Church taught, is evidence of what happens to those who reject any of the Church's teachings, as is the fate of those accused of witchcraft. Even without Church discipline, most ordinary people in medieval times would have believed in heaven and hell, because it was an age of great superstition.
