Bible Question (short): ascend into Heaven? Where? |
Question (full): You said, "Don't miss one very important issue, everyone must first come to God." -- But is it not more accurate to say that God came to us and we must accept Him? –rather than us having to go to Him? Also, where is it said, ". . . and ascend into the presence of the Lord?" I read all of 1 Cor. 15, and it isn't there. This is my point. Why do we keep saying we will ascend into heaven, when the scriptures do not ever say this? I do not doubt that the dead are now "in the presence of the Lord," but to say that in the end, we will all ascend into heaven is never mentioned. But it does say He will make His dwelling with us. So help me understand the reasoning behind the common belief that we all go to heaven to be with God “in the end?” (Please note, I am not trying to be argumentative as it might seem.) MJH |
