Janae Your right there is a mansion for us but nothing in scripture says where that mansion is. It's in God's presence and where God is heaven but we also know God will dwell in the New Jerusalem on the New Earth. EdB |

MJH I am well aware of the meaning of Jesus' comments and I'm also very aware of what He was referring too, the common Jewish practice of adding on to the family homestead (fathers house). Let me say if there is living quarters for all believers added onto the Father's house I assure you it will be a mansion. Revelation describes the New Jerusalem, our dewelling place in eternity as being 1500 miles long, wide and high. I think that constitutes a mansion don't you. I will agree many think they are getting an individual mansion but that is simply because they are too lazy to read the Bible. EdB |

Okay, I buy that, but the correct way to translate this is to use "dwellings" or "rooms", and not mansions. It is unfortunate that by translating one Greek word as mansions, you create an entire belief system concerning God and the new Heaven and new Earth. And this has been perpetuated for how many hundreds of years now? After all, the KJV says, “In my Father's house are many mansions . . .” and mansions is plural. Does this not prove that translators have a serious task? Thank God for them! MJH |

MJH Actually it was probably convoluted by some preacher that didn't understand Jewish culture and it sounded so good it got repeated. I find that most false teaching was not established in the desire to falsely teach the word but rather in the ignorance of what the word really said. However it is easy to become a Monday morning quarter back and criticize their ignorance while having computers, software programs and excellent Bible colleges. All of which many of these men never had available to them. EdB |

You are absolutely right. That is why I ended my comments by thanking God for translators who have a difficult task, and many times have to do some kind of interpreting which is always dangerous, but unavoidable. I believe that all believers should do more than just read, but should also study. Unfortunately we are not taught how to study. In Jesus time, or maybe some years later, the Rabbies said that study was the highest form of worship. I don't agree it is the highest, but it certainly is a high form of worship. To show mercy, practice justice, and to walk humbly with God is the highest form of worship. MJH PS - I don't have the Bible Study Software yet . . . I covet the Logos Scholars version, but don't have an extra 1000 dollars laying around . . . yet... |

MJH I have Logos and it is okay but I think for ease of use I prefer Wordsearch. In any case try http://rejoicesoftware.com/ they have software at great discounts and I have used them and they are an excellent company. EdB |
