IS THERE JUST ONE HEAVEN?
This question has been on my mine for some time now. Well if the Bible does not teach us anything at all it teaches us that we would be judged according to our works, then I guess some will be very obedient than some, others good, some better, some best. If thats the case our joy will depend on our dids, good or evil. If there is only one heaven then i guess paul was wrong to say the things he said when he discribed the three heavens he saw in the vision. Then I guess Christ would not have said ” In my fathers kingdom (ie. Heaven) there are many mansions”. Christ said what he said because he knew some of us will be more rightous in our dids towards the father than others, thus the parable of the talents… What do you think about HEAVEN? The bible teaches ONE BIG HEAVEN with Three divisions to serve our levels of obedience.

Matthew 5:5-10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
The bible did not classify, Good, better best, indeed Christ told the sinner on his right side, ‘Today, you will be with me in paradise’, He did not grade him before making that declaration.
When you read Matthew 5:5-12. it can clarify your anxiety about rewards in various categories but all good.
There is only one kingdom “1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. ”
acts 1:11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” and this is the same paradise, Jesus said to the sinner he would be with him. Don’t deceive yourself Reuben, there’s no good better best in the kingdom Jehovah’s search the heart for righteousness and those who love Him and we shall all meet as family with the Lord and not segregated.
