Or perhaps a better question would be: Is any human being going to heaven? Another pertinent question would be which heaven, for there are three heavens, not one? The first heaven is the air or atmosphere. The second heaven is space or the habitation of the stars and planets. The third heaven is the domain of the Godhead and has only been seen by one person and that person was the Apostle Paul.
2 Cor 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. Here Paul describes, in a way not to make himself sound boastful or someone who is special because of this blessing, his amazing visit to the realm of the Godhead - The Third Heaven. He speaks of this experience as if it is another person but all the while it is him. Now apart from the Apostle John with the visions The Lord Jesus Christ gave him to enable him to write the Book of Revelation no man has been treated in such a special way. The question is though, will any other human being be privy to such treatment in the future? No.
How do I know that? I know it because Holy Scripture tells me and it is very straight forward:
Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle (tent or home) of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. Have any of you yet noticed how The Word of God nearly always teaches the very opposite of what mainstream Christianity teaches and the number of times in my articles I have revealed this to be the case? Here again we can see the lies in which they believe, exposed. The Father God is going to come and make His home with men and/or mankind - with us, not us up there with Him. Quite honestly I do not know where in Holy Scriptures they get the idea from that they are going to heaven - "to be with The Lord" being another of their favourite off-pat expressions - totally meaningless, erroneous and totally unbiblical.
Here is another conundrum: have you ever wondered, if what they say is true of course, what we will be doing in heaven? Some say we will be sitting at The Lord Jesus Christ's feet for eternity (How boring for Him is that!!??) others that we will be floating around heaven aimlessly on clouds, but is there any truth in any of this emotional infantile stuff?
Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands.
Now here is a verse that can easily be mistaken for a heavenly event but is that the case? No. The Lamb - the Lord Jesus Christ is on His Throne and that throne will be here on this earth, not in heaven, only The Father God's throne is in heaven where The Lord Jesus Christ presently sits at His right hand, but not on a throne. The Father sits on His throne and The Lord sits to His right, but no heavenly throne is mentioned in Holy Scriptures for The Lord Jesus Christ. Notice too these people have palms in their hands and there is only one place you will find palms and that's here on earth, on or in God's Creation.
Ok, we can now see that their silly ideas are now shot through with several holes so where else in Holy Scriptures can we look to see where their mistakes originate. Could it be possible that they get them from Matthew's gospel where he and only he refers to the Kingdom of God as the Kingdom of Heaven? Why does Matthew do that? Some commentators say he does it because his Gospel account was written principally for the benefit of the Jews. The Jews were easily offended if they saw the word God written as God so Matthew used the word heaven instead so as not to offend them. Now this may be the case but he uses the word God in dozens of other places so this idea doesn't really stack up. The Truth is Matthew's use of the expression "Kingdom of Heaven" is simple to understand and it's to teach us that God's Kingdom or the Kingdom of God is the same as the Kingdom of Heaven and it's there, written in this way, to teach Christians the opposite of what they believe. Well fancy that!
If you study a Synoptic Bible or a Harmony of the Gospels (If you haven't got one I would recommend you acquire one as they are useful study aids) you will find that every time Mark says Kingdom of God, Matthew is saying Kingdom of Heaven so this proves they are one and same thing and therefore mean the same thing. Here though is where these 'Christians' still make a mistake because it is the Kingdom of God or from God not in God. If we then transfer this obvious understanding across to Kingdom of Heaven it is the Kingdom from Heaven not in Heaven. There is no Kingdom in Heaven nor will there ever be a Kingdom in Heaven as The Father is coming down out of Heaven with a new heaven and a new earth to make His home with mankind. Nowhere does it say we are going to heaven to make our home with Him. Which ever way we stack this it is the complete opposite of what mainstream Christianity teaches and of course it would have to be as 'Christians going to heaven' is all part of their deluded condition.
A natural follow on topic to this article is the question: Do Christians Die? All very interesting eh? Watch this space for the Truth in answering this question. The 'Christians in Heaven' thing will also be covered in that article too, and in a new article on The Two Resurrections - coming soon, so don't go away.
