Bible Question:
Does John 3:13 mean that my Uncle is still dead and in the grave or is he in hell? If so, why do preachers like Billy Graham, say he died and went to heaven.What does Hebrews 11:13,19; mean?What about 1 Thessalonians 4:13,16 13 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. 16 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: The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. |
Bible Answer: If you uncle died in Christ his spirit is in Heaven in the presence of the Lord. His body remains in the ground until the events in 1 Thess take place. Paul told us in 2 Cor. 5:8 to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. If your uncle died rejecting Jesus Christ as his Savior then I'm afraid he is in hell awaiting his judgement.
