I have no idea
It would be better to ask "Where isn't God before the heavens and earth were created?" Psalm 139 shows that God is omnipresent, He is everywhere present always. Having said that there is a place where His awsome glory and manifest presence is called the throne of heaven. I don't believe He ever leaves that place in that magestic manifestation but He does visit us here on earth In a peculiar way since creation.
The Garden of Eden is a spiritual place, not a geographical one. If you think rain is good, then of course it rains there. If you think rain is bad, then of course it does not.On a Biblical note-no there wasn't. "Rain" was not used/created until the flooding of the earth. It was not in the original intent of God's plan (Eden).Genesis 2: 4-6 (NIV)This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created. When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground" (NIV)The word "streams" has also been translated as "mist." So, instead of rain there was a mist that came up from the ground to water everything.
Possibly this is the poem you are referring to.In the Bleak Midwinter - Christina Rosetti 1872.In the bleak mid-winterFrosty wind made moan,Earth stood hard as iron,Water like a stone;Snow had fallen, snow on snow,Snow on snow,In the bleak mid-winterLong ago.Our God, Heaven cannot hold HimNor earth sustain;Heaven and earth shall flee awayWhen He comes to reign:In the bleak mid-winterA stable-place sufficedThe Lord God Almighty,Jesus Christ.Enough for Him, whom cherubimWorship night and day,A breastful of milkAnd a mangerful of hay;Enough for Him, whom angelsFall down before,The ox and ass and camelWhich adore.Angels and archangelsMay have gathered there,Cherubim and seraphimThronged the air,But only His motherIn her maiden bliss,Worshiped the BelovedWith a kiss.What can I give Him,Poor as I am?If I were a shepherdI would bring a lamb,If I were a wise manI would do my part,Yet what I can I give Him,Give my heart.
It means when a soul dies and has not had the last rites they slip into purgatory which is neither hell nor heaven. Purgatory can be looked on as a temporary hell where a soul suffers for its unforgiven sins and then goes on to heaven. It's a Roman Catholic concept.Its a place where you go after you die if you are not worthy to get into Heaven yet, but not bad enough to go to hell

YESAnswer:There is a disagreenment:Theists feel that a god or gods created the Earth, although there is no consensus on which god was responsible - each religion holds that their own did it.Non-theistic philosophies hold that the question is not important enough to think about, not amenable to an answer and ignore it as there are more pressing issues.Science holds that natural processes created the universe and eventually the Earth.
Is Moses in heaven with God?* No, not yet. Though, Moses will be in heaven soon.
Did Peter enter the Kingdom of God?* No, not yet. He will on Judgement Day, though.
We know because there are sinners on the earth still hurting people, so we are not in heaven yet.
God created Adam and Eve.
Jesus the Christ had not yet died for our sins.....the work was not yet done. heaven was not yet attainable. believing in God was enough to keep the saints from hell......but not enough to get them into heaven!
The dead await their Judgement time as will the living at that time. Only Jesus ascended into Heaven which will eventually come to the New Earth (Revelation 21). are they not others who join with christ in heaven & our blessed mary, eilijah.tthe cross the thief repy to Christ you are surely the son of christ. when he stated this jesus told him " on this day you will be with my Father, God, in paradiseJohn 3:13New King James Version (NKJV) 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.Another Answer:Jehovah's Witnesses as Christians point to Psalm 37:9-11. It states that "the meek" will have a different inheritance. "The meek shall inherit the earth", -- not heaven.Even in the Lord's Prayer, we do NOT pray: 'Can we come to thy Kingdom in heaven?' Instead, we reverse the direction. We pray: "Thy Kingdom come." Then we add: "Thy will be done on earth" - - "as it is in heaven." We wonder: Why is everyone hoping to get to heaven, yet they pray for God's will to be done on earth, as it is in heaven?Jehovah's Witnesses do not teach their children that the good go to heaven; we do not teach about getting to heaven in our house-to-house ministry; we have no desire of getting to heaven.The Bible teaches that when God created this new kind of creature called: 'Man-KIND', he created them to exist on earth forever. God's purpose has not changed. It was never God's purpose to 'transfer' mankind to another place; and 'transform' them into another form. That sounds more like a Star Trek idea of Hollywood.
no,god is god.he has no gender. but, yet people seem to think that god ia a male. no one is quite sure. well, i guess that you will find out when you get to heaven.
I found the lyrics at a German website, then translated them with Google translator. Between Heaven and Earth Between Heaven and Earth is a crack and a struggle between light and darkness In the meantime, in the meantime Between Heaven and Earth, we are still And what we do not want to do but we In the meantime, in the meantime In the middle of this world but not of this world We belong to you and yet we are still here Chorus: Between Heaven and Earth where you hang All alone and abandoned by man and God between heaven and earth outstretched There on the cross Between Heaven and Earth where you hang Where the beams intersect, is the place Where to which heaven and earth meet in you There on the cross Between Heaven and Earth, we suffer An inner towards thee In the meantime, in the meantime Between Heaven and Earth is a bridge And you're the bridge itself and the way In the meantime, in the meantime Refrain Between Heaven and Earth, we are And we enter into this crack with you In the meantime, in the meantime You make the sky and the earth again But your kingdom is already here and you are faithful In the meantime, in the meantime
The entire universe including this Earth, but (as yet) without living things. See also:Is there evidence for Creation?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
we are not sure yet but hopefully we can watch this dramatic event from heaven
Man has not been cloned as of yet, but if science does clone man they can not give him a soul. Only God can do that and so no your clone will not go to heaven.
