Almost paradise, How could we ask for more, Almost Paradise, and I can see heaven in your eyes (essential blue)

“For: The Institute Of  Contemporary And Emerging Worship Studies, St. Stephen’s University, Essentials Blue Online Worship Theology Course with Dan Wilt”

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think those were the lyrics to the song that rang out in the Jr high school dance in ’87.

As I have been processing the idea of heaven over the past week I began to have new questions.  I think we’ve all come to the conclusion that heave is not just an eternal playground for the faithful.  We can most certainly say that we do, in fact, experience heaven during our earthly experience through the “thin veil” but, perhaps we need no bodily resurrection to achieve our place.  Maybe our earthly heaven experiences are our resurrection.  (Some very early Jews did not have an afterlife concept.)

Some post-modern theologians have been circling the other side of this issue. Hell. Does it exist as an eternal prison for un-believers?  Perhaps humans are not meant to be eternal beings as individuals, but maybe to carry on from generation to generation.  

I know you think its ridicules, but it presents an interesting scenario.
