Please read this before spouting off.
I know that Heaven is in the Bible. The part I don't get is that people think that dead folks are there NOW. Is there any Biblical evidence for this? I thought the dead were supposed to stay dead until the Rapture, and THEN they would be judged, and THEN they would go to Heaven or Hell.
I keep hearing Christians tell their kids about deceased loved ones looking down from Heaven, but I think the BIble would advise us to say "So-and-so is mouldering in the ground, and will rot there until the Rapture comes, at which point he'll jump out and we'll be reunited."
Couldn't lying to kids about this cause idolotry? If I'm wrong, please let me know how the Bible (or the Church, in the Roman Catholic tradition) resolves one plan with the other.
And while I've got your attention. Just how offensive do you think the phrase "Catholickin' good!" is? I had this crazy girlfriend once, from Norway, and well... mostly I want to know about the Heaven thing
