Heaven is described as a region within the universe, not the spiritual world.
jan.
Could you give a reference? I was always under the impression that heaven belongs to the spiritual realm.

There is 7 heavens in total, each one a universe in it's own right.
Our physical earth "realm" is lower than the heavens, each heaven is like a pyramid system getting more beautiful and magnificent the higher you go, The throne of god is it's own realm and that resides out-side of all time and space and it is unlike any other place it is perfect.

Please explain how you equate "angels have no choice but to obey" with having free will.

"in the begining God created the Heavens and the earth"
Spirit, the nature of God and the soul, is not created.
jan.
I am refering to the 'Heaven" as in "God created the Heavens...."
Anything that is created, is disposable. Do you agree?
jan.
Do the words "no choice" mean anything to you?Quite simple, their body and mind are created for a specific purpose, but they can change their mind, because they are spirit souls.
I do. But obviously you don't.Do you know what a semi-colon is?
And do you know how their used?
The passage you showed is preceded by a semi-colon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SemicolonThe modern uses of the semicolon relate either to the listing of items or to the linking of related clauses.

So you're saying that heaven can be found? Physically, I mean.
And it also appears that you are saying that souls already existed before creation. Could you expand on that?
How do physical bodies travel between these universes?
When people die their spirit aka soul is supposed to travel to heaven, not their bodies. Then how do angels, being corporal, travel between heaven and Earth?
They don't, your soul is made of something simular tophotons and sub atomic energies.
I'm not sure what you mean.From our perspective?
No?
So if souls always existed, what are they? And why is God meddling with them since he has got nothing to do with them being 'in existence'?Souls eternally exist, some are liberated, and some are conditioned.
The material world is created in order to give a chance for the conditioned souls to become liberated. The creation, maintainence, and dissolution, of the material world works in cycles, like the seasons.
This is a very crude description.
:roflmao:
Angels are simular to Jinns or what westernpeople think are Ghosts, when you die you don't turn into a spirit and wander the earth. Jinns are made of the typeof energy your soul is, same as angels but the energy varies slightly. Angels and Jinns are as free on earth as in the other realms, they just don't have flesh bodies.
So angels are not corporal then.. I'm confused.
I'm participating in a discussion about claimed attributes of angels. There's a subtle difference.Oh you're participating in a discussion about angels
Well I know not to ask you about souls.Youwishtoknow about angels askme a question i can answer.
Explain exactly what you are confused about.
peace.

Well, Jan is saying that heaven is a physical place in the universe where angels live and die (thus having physical bodies).
You are claiming just about the exact opposite.
