Kathy Hi and welcome to the forum! In answer to your question is heaven going to be on earth? Basically yes! 2 Peter 3:7 tells us earth and heaven are going to be consumed by fire. 1 John 2:17 confirms this world is passing away. Rev 21:1 again confirms this and further reading of Revelation 21 tells us a about new heaven and a new earth. We see reading in Revelation 21-22 that Jesus is going to dwell in the new Jerusalem here on earth and we are going to rule and reign with Him so we will be here too. Reading in Rev 22:3 tells us the throne of God and of the Lamb will in this New Jerusalem so we can assume this is where they will dwell and I assure you where they dwell is heaven. I hope this helps. EdB |

3 | Isn't my Mother in Heaven? | Bible general Archive 1 | mattiep | 24187 | ||
I want to know also. Ihave always believed there was a HEAVEN and I have encouraged my family to believe also. But I have an Aunt who is a Jehovah Witness and she told me that all Heaven talk is emotional drivel. she said when you die you just go in the ground until Jehovah comes back to get you. I was always taught that if you died in Christ that you are in HEAVEN. Now I'm a bit confused. I showed her all the Scriptures, especially in Matthew (like the Beatitudes) that talk about the Kingdom of GOD. She said that is only for the Elect Brothers. HELP! | ||||||

Kathy Right now Jesus sits at the right of God. Mark 16:19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. Where God is, is heaven. Paul told us in 2 Cor. 5:6-8 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— [7] for we walk by faith, not by sight— [8] we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. To state it more plainly Paul is telling us that to be absent (dead)from the body is to be present with the Lord and we have already seen Jesus is in heaven. Now about your aunt, being a Jehovah Witness she has received many hours of training in how to make Christians question their faith and she has been heavily trained in dealing with rebuttals. This training is done on when they meet Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Before you start to take her on you need to do a lot of study. You need to read the Bible and understand what you believe. Then you need to read about Jehovah witnesses and how to debate them. Even after you do all of this the task will not be easy. By the way your aunt also believes she will never go heaven but will always have to live in a second rate place and only those "Elect Brothers" get to go to the really good place. Doesn't that sound man made only certain people get the best the rest not matter what they do get stuck with junk. The bible assures us this isn’t true. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Notice what it said we are all one. Do not lose faith or let your aunt change your mind. When we die we do go to heaven if we trust in the Lord, and we will never be separated from our Lord again. Again I pray this helps. Be blessed EdB |

thank you for your response about my Aunt. I agree that I certainly am not equipt to go up against her in discussion of the Scriptures. I tried but her Scriptures seem to be "sculptured" to fit her points. Also, she refers to the Watch Tower and what the "Brothers" say more than her Bible, itself. | ||||||
