Southern Skeptic's Heaven: Heaven Is Real

Improved Essays
Heaven The real question everyone wonders is where do we go after we die? There are strong believers in if heaven is real or not. There are many stories that make it seem so real. Some people say they just make up stories. Also there is a lot of things that make it seem not really real at all. Science is a big part in this topic, people say it's all just science and there is no life after death. Many people have experiences about going to heaven. I picked this topic because I loved the movie “Heaven is for Real.” It made me interested even more in the topic because of that family's story. I also really love hearing stories about people's experiences of when they experienced heaven. I like hearing details about their experience …show more content…
They are strong believers in their opinion. They claim if heaven is real then your life on earth would be like a blink of an eye so what's even the point of living on earth at all (“Matt”). The bible does not have much of anything on heaven (“Matt”). So the question is how is there an afterlife or a heaven if the bible doesn't say much about it (“Matt”). They claim that it is all made up and when kids say they have saw heaven they were just hallucinating it (“Matt”). They say if it was real then the things he has heard it looking like should have been more extravagant and luxurious (“Matt”). They also said that people that claim to have seen heaven just want money and to be rich because of their stories and experiences …show more content…
I think it’s the best because his story and what he experienced was just so interesting to hear about. He explained it so well and him and his family told their story very clear on what happened. They just went out and said it without caring how other people reacted, they just wanted to share their miracle. I like this story because everything he experienced was so real and so in depth. They explained everything in fine detail, it was almost like you could visualize what they were saying. I honestly think their story was a miracle from God and without him Colton and his family wouldn’t be the

    He was a father of four, married to an American wife Kathy and owned a successful painting and contracting firm. The story introduces their every day lives and explains Zeitoun’s passion for his work and the welfare of others like his own employees. I instantly became fond of him because not only was he a modest husband and father he was also a kind person that you’d be lucky to have as a neighbor. At first the family was a little concerned about the storm yet as soon as it began looking more serious the mother and four kids did evacuate and flee first to a crowded house of relatives and then west to Pheonix. She begs Zeitoun to come with them.…

    Unlike the Ghosts, these people are described as much more whole and concrete, and the narrator describes them as Spirits. The Spirits pair off, one to one, with the Ghosts and try to convince them to remain in Heaven. Several different conversations are described between different sets of ghosts and spirits, each conversation existing in a different chapter. One Ghost is struggling to understand why he was “damned” to Hell while the Spirit he is talking to is a murderer and was allowed in Heaven. Another describes a conversation between an apparent atheist Ghost and a believing Spirit.…

    Death has always been seen as the essence of misery, darkness, and evil. When people are exposed to the concept of dying, they are frightened, because death leads to lands that are unknown to man. Even though people do not understand it, the unknown world of the afterlife is assumed to be cold and lonely, an inescapable void. People, when they think of death, are reminded of how they lost their loved ones to it, how they have mourned those they will never be able to see again. However, while this is the widespread view of the afterlife, there are people who see death as a new beginning.…

    The pathos expressed by Jonathan Edwards was extremely convincing to the puritans due to the way he provided hope and imagery to the puritans on how their daily life actions might led them into a heaven or hell.

    If we help people in need, feed old and homeless people, not curse on others, have positive attitude, it is meaningful to say the person is going to end up in heaven. The heaven and hell lies in our imaginary thoughts and even the physical appearance of god is invisible. This helps to make an assumption that the story of the god, heaven and hell have been passed down by our ancestors. In this process, some parts were lost while others were added. The faith I have toward my god is the most important part.…
