No one but God can show you the way. Pray and ask Him, and you shall receive.
darvlay: Hey God, where is Heaven?
God: (silence)
darvlay: Hellllllo?
God: (silence)
It seems you were wrong, nicolass. Again.
Originally posted by lucifershammerOkay, I took your advice and tried again:
Wrong question. Heaven is not a "where" but a "what".
Try again.
darvlay: God, it's me again. I meant to say "What is Heaven?"
God: (silence)
darvlay: Oh, forget it.
Are you guys having any better luck than me at this? What am I doing wrong?

Originally posted by NicolaasI gave him the benefit of the doubt for those moments. It didn't seem to matter. Apparently I must have an unwavering belief in his existence before I get any of his cool superpowers. Is that right?
So if you talked to Him, did you really believe He was there?
Superpowers - i.e. Talking to the almighty God himself, having him favour me in granting my needs over the billions of underpriveleged, starving and dying people on Earth, the ability to move mountains and accomplish anything, etc.

What you did just now was to talk to God as a person, communed with Him. That's what Heaven is all about - only infinitely more magnified (a perfect communion with God).
And God was not silent - He sent Nicolaas and me, didn't He? 🙂
