ArchivedAre people in Heaven/Hell right now?If no saved person goes to heaven as soon as they die, what about the verses that say, "........even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him". {1 Thess.4:14} Where is God coming from? he certainly not coming from out of the ground, for he is in heaven, and if he is coming, and the saints are coming with him, then they must be in heaven, and I don't think they are sleeping in heaven, for only their physical bodys are "asleep" in the graves. Here is another verse, ".........at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH all his saints." {1Thess. 3:13}, and how about, "Behold, the Lord cometh WITH ten thousands of his saints." {Jude 14}. They must be with him in heaven in order to come back, for they are absent from the body and are present with the Lord. If the rich man and Lazarus in Luke chapter 16 was just a parable based on two fictional characters as some people believe, why would Jesus make up that kind of story if a person didn't really go to hell as soon as he or she died? |
