What is the definition of heaven for you?

Serious answer: listen to "my walden" from nightwish

Sassy answer: between your mom thighs

C and/or assembly 5 hours; 1 hour jogging in a forest; another 1 or 2 hours math; 2 more hours C and assembly; that would be the workday; also hacking is banned from heaven, only nearly exact purpose programming is allowed; In heaven C compilers also have #pragma include_binary <filename> and assemblers have full C preprocessor. Between your mom's thighs , in other words.

running code with no errors first try

Finally going home after a lifetime of living in this hell.

Luke 15,21

https://bibleserver.com/text/NIV/...

BTW: That's the only parable in the Bible where God runs.

@tty1 I found no running, only rejoicing over lost and reclaimed property.

@Root One verse earlier: Lk 15:20 „he ran to his son“

I can't find the reclaiming of property.

@tty1
> lost sheep
> found sheep

> lost coin
> found coin

> lost son
> found son / son came home

The "he" in your parable excerpt was the father, not god.

@lunorian Or text posts and isn't repeated after first try.

@Pyjong nah dude it's fine :)

@Root Oh, now I understand what you mean. Thanks for the explanation! I didn't associate „to claim“ with the three parables in Luke 15, but English is not my native language (so what do I know :-).

Please let me share why I associate the father with God: You are right that the plain story of the parable does not mention God, but it's a parable after all so it invites interpretation. Interpretation is best done within the context of the passage. Verses 7 and 10 associate these stories with things that happen in heaven using the words „just so“. The first two parables set up the context for the third, which is itself a picture for what happens in heaven. Therefore I interpret the father of the story to be a picture of the heavenly father.

My goal is to answer OP's question as good as I can, especially the „for you“ part. My first step into heaven was the embrace of the father. Therefore I chose this Bible reference as a personal definition of heaven.

@tty1 Ah, I understand. 😊
