Firstly, I am a devout Christian and a firm believer in the bible, and a avid student. (5 days a week studying the bible) I am not trying to belittle anyone’s beliefs, nor am I our to discredit the bible in any fashion.
Where in the bible does it state that we all go to heaven. Growing up in church, all I ever heard was, get saved and go to heaven. But after much study into the bible, I have not found where the idea is coming from. (the heaven part, not the saved part).
Psalm 37:29 (NWT)= The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.
Matthew 5:5 (KJV)= Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Psalm 37:11 (NIV,1984)= But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
Isaiah 45:18 (NLT, 2007)= For the LORD is God, and he created the heavens and earth and put everything in place. He made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos. "I am the LORD," he says, "and there is no other.
Psalm 115:16 (AKJV)= The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth has he given to the children of men.
Proverbs 2:21,22 (NASB, 1995)= For the upright will live in the land And the blameless will remain in it; But the wicked will be cut off from the land And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
Revelation 11:15 (NIV, 2011)= The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”
Let me clarify:
1) I am not asking how one earns salvation.
2) I am not out to bash, or am I bashing the bible or peoples beliefs in anyway
3) I understand that you need salvation to be able to inherit everlasting life
4) I am not interested in people’s opinions on the matter, so:
5) Please provide scriptures with your answer
All I am asking, is where in the bible is it said that we will be going to heaven after death. Because all I see is verses stating that we stay here on earth.
I am merely out for some clarification on a belief that I see held, that the “saved” go to heaven. And the reason I would like you to provide scripture with your answer is this:
1 Corinthians 2:5 (ASV)= that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
And i know that the bible does not contradict itself, so if you provide me with scriptures that support that we all go to heaven, please tell me how that it bunks the ones i provided. Again, not attacking anybody, i am just very very curious.Ok, growing up in church, it is always said we go to heaven, but where does it say that?
We do not all go to heaven, we stay here on earth. Gods plan has not changedOk, growing up in church, it is always said we go to heaven, but where does it say that?
It is a ruse. Nobody goes to heaven except angels, and they're already there.Ok, growing up in church, it is always said we go to heaven, but where does it say that?
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
Revelation 21:21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.
Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
2 Cor. 5:1
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
anything more I'm gonna' have to think......
