The Bible doesn't say exactly where it is, so we're kind of left to our imagination for now. I'd like to think that it's bigger than space - possibly including it or parts of it or another dimension of it or possibly not.... I’ve also often wondered if heaven is outside of space.

I have actually thought recently about whether Jesus loves the Devil and I think He does. It was in the context of the question: If God knows everything and is all powerful, then why was the devil allowed to 'fall'? The only good answer that I have is that God is love and, if you use the definition of love from 1 Corinthians 13, love always hopes. It must follow then, that even though God knew Satan would deny Him and want his own power, He still hoped Satan would change his mind and come back to Him. Also, if God loves people who are under Satan's influence, is He not also capable of loving the Devil himself? Don't know how you might tell that to an 8 year old, but those are my thought! Those are some HUGE questions!

Thank is hard isn't it. I love the questions these kids are asking. Some of them I'm not sure I'd even heard before, even after working in youth ministry! To shortly answer one question and to try and start some dialogue. I think that Jesus loves the devil and wishes that he was still up in heaven with the angels, and that because God is so incredibly Holy, Righteous, and Good that he cannot have the devil in His presence, but that he still loves him. That's my short answer, anyone else have thoughts? How does God make and create Promiseland Games? Thank is hard isn’t it. I love the questions these kids are asking.
