The early Christians believed that heaven was a physical place above the sky. It was easy to believe that there were pearly or golden gates. Now that we know what is above the sky, this belief can no longer be sustained. Christians now believe that heaven is a spiritual, not physical place. Gold, in the physical sense, could not exist in a purely spiritual place - although it is probably possible to imagine the appearance of gold in heaven. An atheist would not believe in heaven at all, so no golden or pearly gates.
What else can I help you with?
Why are the gates of Heaven called the Pearly Gates. What about the Gates of Hell?
The gates of heaven are called "pearly gates" because of the description found in Revelation 21:21 - The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. [NKJV]Scripture offers no description of the gates of hell.For the sake of accuracy, it's notable that the Bible doesn't use the expression "gates of heaven" or "heavenly gates." Revelation 21 contains a metaphorical description of "the holy city, New Jerusalem," which John described as "coming down out of heaven from God" in Revelation 21:2.
