1 | after death, right then, what? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 46801 | ||
I am questioning my view of death. For most of my life I have been taught that upon my death I would be in heaven. However I recently heard a speaker say that we stay in a state of waiting to be raised when Christ returns. I can read where sleep is refered to as death. When it says in the N.T. concerning those who have fallen asleep. I feel rather ignorant, because I have studied this, and felt I had the answer. Now, I am not so sure. I would like some feed back, as this is sorta bugging me. Thanks for your input. Peace, farout |

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. If the dead in christ rise... and yet they come with Him when he comes,.. you have them both coming with him and their bodies rising.. The fact that their body rises does not mean thier spirit is in the underparts of the earth, it means their bodies are raised. Their spirit is with Christ from the time their bodies fell asleep and when Christ comes their spirit comes down with Him and their bodies are raised so that they are reunited with glorified bodies. also remeber Paul said.... Philippians 1:21-23 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Now if departing this life was not being with Christ as Paul said then it would not be far better. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. If being conscious here is to be absent from the Lord, then being unconscious in sleep would be even more absent from the Lord, so that we would not long to depart and be with the Lord if indeed departing was not being with the Lord. May God Bless you in your study of His word. |

If Christ is now seated at the right hand of God and Paul says to depart from the body is to be with Christ then we must go to heaven. Then when the time is come, we will have our bodies resurrected. That is what it looks like to me so far. Until I see otherwise. | ||||||

What do you mean is after death we are going to heaven even before the second judgement which is the second coming of Jesus Christ? How about this verse how could you explain it if you are believing that man after dies will go to heaven. Joh 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. God bless, Johnny |

This is a quote from Psalms Psalms 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? See this concept is carried over by the words of Christ and Paul when it is mentioned again... John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Before the ascension of Christ no man had access to go to heaven when they died. They were held in Abrahams Bosom or Paradise, if they were righteous, then when Christ ascended and made the way..then men went up in his train. Now we also go there. |

You quoted these verses: See this concept is carried over by the words of Christ and Paul when it is mentioned again... John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Before the ascension of Christ no man had access to go to heaven when they died. They were held in Abrahams Bosom or Paradise, if they were righteous, then when Christ ascended and made the way..then men went up in his train. Now we also go there. Where in that verses mentioned that after the death of Christ in the cross died people can go to heaven directly? You are using to much conclusion there or you speculate things that is not written. Christ mention My God and your God that is true but it is not mean it change the statement of John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. God bless, Johnny |
