Is it still Heaven by any other name?
American Indians call it their Happy Hunting Ground. Greeks call it the Land of Alucian (sp), and some call it Paradise, Each culture has it's own name for their life after death. Are they all the same or can they interchange for Christianity?
I think so. Each culture has a different perspective. The same question could be asked of God. Is he the same as Allah or the Native American Great Spirit. Family members, friends, colleagues, Hubbers who know me, all have a different perspective/interpretation of who I am, because they all see a different picture, different behaviours. Sounds reasonable to assume the God is no different.
John 10:16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
So these other sheep must have been Romans, Persians, Greeks, Arabs, Asians, Africans, Native Americans, Australian Aborigines,,,,,,,, So although the gospel had not been preached to the Gentiles, still at that time in the present tense when He spoke, He included them.
Heaven, Paradise or Abraham's bosom.....it is the right side of our heavenly Father, God.

Is hell real to you? If so, what do you think it will be like?I wrote a little about what I thought hell might be like (http://hubpages.com/hub/Afraid-of-the-Dark) but wondered what others would have to offer. Maybe you don't believe in hell and want to share what you believe happens...
