101 | Our eternal house in the heavens | 2 Cor 5:1 | 00123 | 188657 | ||
What will our eternal house in the heavens look (or feel) like? How different would it be from our earthly body? | ||||||
102 | The dead goes to heaven or sleeps? | 2 Cor 5:8 | 00123 | 226992 | ||
In the funeral, pastor usually says that the dead went to the heaven. What is the biblical basis of this argument? Isn't the Bible saying that the dead sleeps, waiting for resurrection, which takes place at Christ's coming? | ||||||
103 | Any other verses on Going to Heaven? | 2 Cor 5:8 | 00123 | 227012 | ||
Well, Acts 7:59 you cited "Lord Jesus receive my spirit" was the same as what Jesus said on cross, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And Jesus went to Paradise with one of the two on the cross. But the Paradise in that context cannot be Heaven because right after His resurrection Jesus said, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father." In addition, does Philippians 1:21-26 you cited apply to "every" good Christian or just Paul? Paul went to the third heaven (where probably God lives; 2 Corinthians 12:2) and it was an experience only Paul was allowed to have in the Bible, except for Enoch and Elijah. So, my question is, are there any other Bible verses that support that when good believers die their souls go to heaven, not wait for resurrection somewhere staying on the earth (like Paradise where Jesus went)? |

104 | Current Location of Dead Christians | 2 Cor 5:10 | 00123 | 230518 | ||
2 Cor 5:10 says "We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." "All" in that verse refers to both dead and living people. My question is where the dead people, especially believers, wait before appearing the judgment seat of Christ? Verse 8 reads, "We would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord." Does this verse imply that when we die we immediately fly to the Heaven where our Lord dwells? If so, why do they need any resurrection? But the Bible says, "Each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:23). This verse implies the dead Christians are not yet with the Lord because they must wait for their resurrection. Note that Jesus, until resurrected, didn't go to God the Father yet. In conclusion, when we die, where are we going? Is it wrong to say that in a funeral the dead person is already in the heaven? | ||||||
105 | Paradise and the Kingdom of Heaven | 2 Cor 12:4 | 00123 | 225553 | ||
Two questions. (1) Is this Paradise the same as both ones in Luke 23:43 (And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.") and Rev 2:7 ('He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.')? (2) Is the Paradise the same as the Kingdom of Heaven? Thank you. God bless! | ||||||
106 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | 00123 | 241541 | ||
Yo said, "Rome was not won to Christ by preaching or evangelism. It was won by how Christians lived and died in the persecution." What was the major reason Christians in Rome were persecuted when they did not preach or evangelize actively but lived in peace? | ||||||
107 | Our citizenship is in heaven? | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240099 | ||
"Our citizenship is in heaven." Two questions: (1) Does it mean we will live ultimately in heaven? (2) Is the heaven the same place where Paul was caught up? (2 Corinthians 12:2) |
||||||
108 | If "heaven" is a metaphor | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240101 | ||
Thanks, Doc. A followup question, if "heaven" is a metaphor as you said, where are our eternal dwelling PHYSICALLY, which are in "the city that has foundations" (Hebrews 11:9-10) and has "the tree of life" (Revelation 22:1-8)? | ||||||
109 | If "heaven" is a metaphor | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240103 | ||
In summary, do we temporarily live in the heaven (God's dwelling place) until the resurrection, then move to the new earth? Do I understand well what you said? | ||||||
110 | Timothy's holy calling | 2 Tim 1:9 | 00123 | 241269 | ||
What is meant by the holy calling in this verse? Is that a calling that we should live a life of consecration or do a special mission given by the Lord? If the latter also makes sense, what was the holy mission for Timothy (and Paul)? Thank you. | ||||||
111 | Timothy's holy calling | 2 Tim 1:9 | 00123 | 241271 | ||
Thanks, Doc, for the info. Now would you answer my question? | ||||||
112 | Vessels to honor or dishonor | 2 Tim 2:20 | 00123 | 241389 | ||
Which one is this verse meaning: (1) only gold and silver vessels give honor to the Lord as they are cleansed ones and others are not or (2) any type of vessels can if it cleanses itself? | ||||||
113 | Vessels to honor or dishonor | 2 Tim 2:20 | 00123 | 241391 | ||
First, you didn't answer my question. Second, yes, we can cleanse ourselves and that is our responsibility. Read the next verse (:21). | ||||||
114 | Timothy of age 50 treated as a child | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241338 | ||
2 Timothy was written in year 67 and Timothy, born in year 17, was age 50. In the old time, a person of age 50 might have been a grandparent and even today most people of age 50 don't live for youthful lusts. So, why does Paul treat Timothy as an adolescent here and in other verses of the letters to Timothy? | ||||||
115 | Timothy's age | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241340 | ||
Beja, Thanks for your kindness. Let me reiterate the questions, then. Do you (or any other reader) know (1) the year when 2 Timothy was written, (2) the age of Timothy at that time, and (3) whether or not Timothy was like one generation younger than Paul (e.g., Paul calls timothy as my son)? | ||||||
116 | Timothy's age | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241344 | ||
Dear Doc, thanks a lot for your kind response, but it didn't answer any of my three questions. | ||||||
117 | Timothy's age | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241347 | ||
Doc, aren't you a scholar? | ||||||
118 | Timothy died at age 80 in 97 AD? | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241351 | ||
EdB, Thanks for your reply, which is kind very contradictory to our usual Sunday school teaching in which Timothy is depicted as a boy while Paul as an old man with beard as well as a pastor's sermon, which is not much different from the Sunday school one. By the way, do you know "the" original source of the argument that Timothy was martyred at age 80 in 97 AD? | ||||||
119 | Timothy's age | 2 Tim 2:22 | 00123 | 241361 | ||
Doc, You are spending time very wisely. I am a doc, too, but not in medicine or theology (obviously not). I am a mere student who wants to learn the Bible for my faith. | ||||||
120 | Definition and examples of good deeds | Titus 2:14 | 00123 | 237486 | ||
Hello brothers and sisters, (1) Would you define "good deeds"? (2) Would you list a few examples of good deeds? |
