When Black Person hear the word "HEAVEN" ....WHAT DO YOU SEE ? ....Be Honest ! YOU SEE NOTHING
The point is that you cannot fool yourself. Sure, the Bible tells things about heaven, like there will be no sickness and aging. But, that does not help our subconscious see it. In the Holy Quran, it will describe paradise of flowing rivers and gardens and raised couches. But, it stops short of describing a vivid picture. Again, you can try to kid yourself but both books leave you without a clear picture. And that is one way you can tell an imposter from the real thing. Recently, had my book published called 21st Century Vision for Black America, www.trafford.com/06-2972
If you get a chance to read this book, by the time you finish the last chapter, things will be differant in your life. Because if someone say the word "heaven" a picture will come into your head. It took me a great deal of research since it is a non-fiction book......basically,the book develops a framework to approach what heaven used to be to what happened from a scientist point of view and then pointing out where we our at present time. That is from a life's worth. What are black Americans doing on earth at present, in other words. Then it ends with 2 chapter developing the vision right before your eyes....taking you every step of the way to heaven on earth with you in it.
Happy New Year Bro. Jamal,
You have an interesting point, but I think it really depends on your walk with Christ. Not limited to bible and hollywood, but heaven is developed into and by your personal relationship with God. In that sense, God will show you Heaven. Through your faith and walk with Christ, you will arrive in Heaven as well.
I think that your book would probably show readers "your" heaven. Smile.
Passing the peace,
