Subject: An interesting discussion/question |
Bible Note: Hello Jamison, thank you for responding. I understand your position. For myself, I understand from the story of the rich man and the poor man that the poor man went to Abraham's bosom. There was a great gulf between where the rich man and the poor man was. When Christ defeated death it is believed He took those with Him from Abraham's bosom to heaven and closed that compartment. However the compartment that contained the rich man is still there. I know that Israel was promised a land. When they died in other lands, their bones were taken with them to the promised land. They believed that God would raise their bones from the dead. We know from the Mount of Transfiguration that Moses and Elijah are in heaven. We are told that Enoch walked with God, he never died, he was taken. When we look at the whole counsel of God, I believe we go straight to heaven upon death of the body if we are In Christ Jesus. Am I understanding you correctly that you believe the spirit dies until resurrection? |
