Bible Question: I want to know also. Ihave always believed there was a HEAVEN and I have encouraged my family to believe also. But I have an Aunt who is a Jehovah Witness and she told me that all Heaven talk is emotional drivel. she said when you die you just go in the ground until Jehovah comes back to get you. I was always taught that if you died in Christ that you are in HEAVEN. Now I'm a bit confused. I showed her all the Scriptures, especially in Matthew (like the Beatitudes) that talk about the Kingdom of GOD. She said that is only for the Elect Brothers. HELP! |
Bible Answer: Luke 23:43 And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, TODAY you shall be with Me in Paradise." Mattie, I capitalized "today" to stress that Jesus ment "this very day" not some time in the future or at His second coming. Unfortunately if your aunt is a Jehovah Witness, then what she is predicting is probably true for herself and when God comes for her, it will be for judgement. (Rom 5:1) When you are in Christ, you are at piece with God. Remain in Christ. May God richly bless you, Bob |
