Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Luke 23:43, 1 Cor 15:35-58, 2 Cor 5:1-10 ... farout, greetings. This has been peviously discussed. Type [677] or [680] or [death heaven] under Quick Search. Nevertheless, I'll give my short answer. I believe that our phyiscal bodies stay and our spirits go to be with the Lord ... and one day we will have a new body. Hope this helps, Searcher |
