Explain two contrasting religious beliefs on heaven

Answer 1

The following are the two contrasting religious beliefs on heaven:

Heaven as a place:

Heaven as the idea of utter salvation:

• Another faction in Christianity believes that heaven is not a place, but the idea of getting out of the cycle of reincarnation and ultimately attaining utter salvation.
