Who will God take to Paradise? That question is important for us. What does the Holy Bible say:

Matthew 5:20
For I tell you, unless your goodness far exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Paradise is in the third heaven. Here is what the Holy Bible says:

2 Corinthians 12:2-4
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know-God knows.  And I know that this man-whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows-  was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.

OK, so as we can see... Paradise is in the third heaven, and Paul knew a person who went there.

God has given me dreams about paradise and there is no sin. Basically, there are no bars or casinos. People are happy because there are no wars. Also, there is no crime. Certainly, you can leave your bicycle outside and no one will steal it from you. 

Matthew 6:19-21
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Well, you might ask - what's the catch?

OK, so God cannot take bad people to the good place, because it would not be a good place any more. 

Paradise is a lot more beautiful than Earth and there are no diseases and sorrows. Most people are happy to live in a place that is nice.

 I  went to Home Depot and I saw a display of Halloween skeletons that was scary. OK, so the display was eerie. It look like something from hell or worse. 

These store displays do concern me. Yeah, they are morbid and gruesome. Sometimes they even feature demons with pitchforks that have evil grins. Certainly, this is not a holiday for Christian men and women.

Here is what God tell us:

1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character. 

People do need to heed what God tells us. Our heavenly Father only wants the best for us.

Do understand that He cannot take really bad people to the good place or it would not be a good place any more. 

The people in Paradise do not celebrate Halloween dressing up as witches and demons and ogres. 

Kids like Halloween because there is a lot of candy and treats to be given. However, this is not a wholesome holiday as we can see. In fact, it is dark and sinister to the max.

I believe that we should distance ourselves from things that can hurt us. 

2 CORINTHIANS 6:14
You are not the same as those who do not believe. So do not join yourselves to them. Good and bad do not belong together. Light and darkness cannot share together.
