We personally can use it in different ways, but the theological one should be the same as heaven. I would start with Jesus promising the thief on the cross that he would see him "today" in paradise (Luke 23:43) and then we have Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 speaking of paradise and heaven in the same sense. Revelations 2:7 also mentions the "paradise of God" which many equate as heaven. Hope this helps, dale Hi Lucy,
