Subject: Are all Christians going to heaven? |
Bible Note: Appleseed, I am not sure if we are understanding each other here.. Basically, the question in 1 Thess. 4:13-14 is: Does the death of a believer before the Lord comes cause him to lose all hope of sharing in the glorious reign of Christ? The answer here (Paul's answer) is that the dead will be raised and will share in the kingdom. I am not sure of how you can jump from Matthew 7:21 to 1 Thess. 4:13-14 with the same thought in mind.. If you still have a question about this, could you please explain yourself a little more clearly? Thank you! |
