And who worked the gate before st peter? Did people just walk in? if so, heaven must be filled with a bunch of saucy cave men...
Another thing, i have thought about this since i saw the movie Ghost. Patrick Swayze died in his thorties, so of course he is a brutally handsome ghost (dont you think?). Now, say, Demi Moore dies at 80. Does she go to heaven an old lady? or does she go as she looked back then?
Does she appear what Swayze thinks is ideal, or does she stay the way she did when she died? Maybe heaven makes him a "Copy" to make him happy, but what if he finds out its a copy, and she is actually old and dead, off messing around with her new husband (or wife, get with the times people)
Yes, this is the kind of crap that keeps me up sometimes.

The Gates of Heaven aren't (don't hold me to this) literal. There may be a gate like that, and a wall surrounding it, but i'm not so sure.
What I know for a fact is that when you go to heaven you are as a spirit. I'm not sure whether you even have your human form anymore. No one can say they know for sure, but I think you either appear as a young person ( either a child or a young adult) or you don't have a human form anymore, but just a
spirit.
However, I researched it, and most people agree that you will have a body, and probably be of a younger age, not sure what young means. I can explain other things about Heaven and hell if you want, just this is very blank in the Bible, just feel free to ask.
