1 | God dwell with Men? or Men with God? | Rom 11:25 | MJH | 139270 | ||
You said, Heaven is where God is, but your verses say that God will make his dwelling with men. No where did the term heaven even appear in your passages. I've heard many say, "We will all meet in Heaven some day." But I only read that we will all meet in the New Earth and God will dwell among us. Not unlike when the Tabernacle was built in Exodus, and God dwelt among them. Ex 25:8, “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.” Note, it did not say he dwelt IN the sanctuary (where is Glory was) but that He dwelt AMONG them. Again, in Genesis 2, we see God dwelling among Adam and Eve. So, where does the idea of us all living for ever in Heaven come from? MJH |

2 | God dwell with Men? or Men with God? | Rom 11:25 | EdB | 139279 | ||
MJH If we died in Christ today we will go into the presence of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8 (NKJV) 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Because the Lord is in the presnce of God that is heaven (remember we are talking about the spiritual realm). However in future we will reside with God on the new Earth. The idea we are going to spend eternity in the spiritual realm of what we now call heaven is based on falsehood. After the second resurrection when we have our incorruptable bodies we will live in realm defined as the New Heaven and New Earth for eternity. However is a sense we will be heaven for as I said where God is, it is heaven. EdB |
