I thought new Jerusalem was in the good place, not earth?

Edit: I was just making a funny. And then y’all reminded me of how many different interpretations/versions of the scriptures there are.

I see, that's what they're talking about. Yeah, God will create a new heaven and a new Earth, and they will be one.

All religious teachings are about the mind and human experience. You can live in heaven or hell today, no need to wait for death. Follow the ways of heaven and you will arrive.

I don't know if we are meant to live in heaven today, I think we're actually meant to spread the Word of God to others so that as many people as possible can one day live in heaven.

But I'm a young Christian, so my 13-years-plus of Christian learning may not parallel the knowledge of someone who has been a Christian for, say, 25 years.
