物理學大師霍金在訪談中對記者說：「天堂並不存在。」
天堂真的只是一個哄人的地方嗎？
對基督徒來說，「天堂」是跟上帝在一起，和一切美善的源頭同在，與所有邪惡隔離的地方。
基督徒在信主之後已經進入「天堂」，只不過「天堂」要到了末日才會完全降臨。
聖徒保羅在聖經有這樣的記載：
〝弟兄們，我告訴你們說，血肉之體不能承受神的國，必朽壞的不能承受不朽壞的。我如今把一件奧祕的事告訴你們：我們不是都要睡覺，乃是都要改變，就在一霎時，眨眼之間，號筒末次吹響的時候。因號筒要響，死人要復活成為不朽壞的，我們也要改變。這必朽壞的總要變成不朽壞的，這必死的總要變成不死的。這必朽壞的既變成不朽壞的，這必死的既變成不死的，那時經上所記「死被得勝吞滅」的話就應驗了。〞《哥林多前書》15：50 - 58
復活後的光景是一種難以描述的改變。
以我們有限的知識，是無法真正想像出天堂完全降臨之後的情況的。
〝假如〞真有「天堂」這地方，你想去嗎？
我想去！
因為今天作為基督徒，人生已經變得更有意義，我當然願意相信天堂全面降臨時能夠帶給我更大更好的改變。
萬一霍金說對了，死後真的沒有復活，也沒有天堂，怎辦？
這還不簡單...
既然人死如燈滅，我又會再有甚麽損失呢？

We wish to learn more about Life after Death. It is an important subject that is extremely mysterious, ambiguous and misleading.
Can you recommend more scripture readings.
我也选择相信，因为霍金是人，谁能保证他不会错呢？
生時心存盼望. 活得開心就得啦....之於死後, 若真是沒有天堂或上帝, 也沒有損失....
‘Heaven is not existed’ this is the statement of the great physicist Fokims. He is an atheist. But on the other side of world of science there are many scientists and physicists who are Christians.
Does heaven exist or not ? this depends on who do you ask.
The first USSR astronaut when he was on the outer space saying : There is no god. Almost the same time the American astronaut he saw the beautiful celestial space and he read the chapter one of the book of Genesis – The creation of universe.
On the Christian point of view God the Creator who made heaven and earth. In the Book of Revelation St John give us a glimpse of a new heaven and a new earth ( Rev. 21) A place there is no sorrow, pain, crying and tear. A place where Truth, Goodness and Love are found. St Paul in the chapter 13 of I Cor. ‘ Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now we know in part; then we shall know fully, even as I am fully known.( v 12 ) This is where perfection is found.
In terms of life after death this is a serious question. The author of the Book of Hebrews says ‘Just as a man destined to die once and after that to face judgment.’ St Paul has a good description of life after death, and how the appearance and life will be. Please read the passage of I Cor.15:35-45.
Our life on earth is responsible to the Creator. Whatever we do or whatever we say it is responsible to God who entrusts His talents on us. So if people think we live this world only and after death we are nothing. Christian cannot accept this. Because we believe one day we shall stand in front to the Creator to be accountable to the things He entrust to us. I Cor. 15;17-19- ‘ If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ is lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men' Our life in Christ is related until we face to face.
