Bible Question (short): die and go to Heaven |
Question (full): I've always heard and have been taught that when one dies they are sent to heaven to be with God, walking the streets of gold. That's a nice thought to have, but after studying the Bible thats not what I have learned. Everyone always quotes 2 Corinthians 5:8 but I am confused because of Acts 2:34. And Revelations 6:11. And the streets of Gold are not until the new Jerusalem is created, by my understanding of Revelation 21:21. Could someone please help me to understand??? |
