Heaven used to mean sky

From https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Heaven

  • (obsolete) The sky, particularly its distant aspect as the abode of the sun,moon, and stars

> Where does it come from? My guess is Martin Luther's translation of the Bible

I'm sure it's far older, missionary men always used elements of local languages and traditions.

Hellenistic Jews like Paul of Tarsus were decisive in spreading Christianity among pagans, and the Greek gods lived high above on the Olympus.

All religions are just copies of copies.

    I just wish one of the fun ones had caught on. I could totally see myself visiting the temple of Aphrodite. A church, not so much. In fact, churches make my skin itchy.

    You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.
      Go to cinema, most of these marvel flicks are just remakes of pagan mythology.

      No, I can't recommend a theater with temple whore (shipping) yet.
