...why are y'all still here on this stinking planet?
Shouldn't He have given you reprieve from this desolate existence by now? Or may be you haven't really FULLY accepted Him, therefore you remain here to work on that and continue to suffer the mundane charade we call life.
And please no quoting of Revelations. Tell us how you really reason this out as feeling, logical human beings, without quoting scriptures.
Thank you in advance.

First I must say that I am sorry that you feel that your existence is desolate!True the conditions here are not a bed of roses,but this is not my home and I've learned in whatsoever state, to be content
There is no partial acceptance of The Lord Jesus, if you are saved , you are saved. perhaps you meant they had not REALLY accepted Him. Also there is NO way to work your way to heaven, for it is not by works of righteousness that we have done,but only through His shed blood can anyone get saved.
Sorry if I quoted some scripture, but I just cant help myself, it is as natural as breathing, you might as well as said not to breathe
And you are quite welcome.

That is quite a strange question & it shows that you don't know much about Christianity or the Bible, yet you specifically ask us NOT to quote the Bible to you by way of explanation. That sounds to me like you really don't want an answer then. Without quoting the Bible, I will have to tell you that the Christian religion or it's holy book says nothing about Jesus taking his followers out of the world before he is ready to, and some people believe that it says that they will not be taken out at all (no Rapture, etc.), but will have to go throught the great Tribulation before they receive their final reward. I could go on and on, but I have probably already told you more than you wanted to hear or are willing to accept, so I will let it go at that. I won't even bother to add a 'source' link.

Because Jesus told us to "Go and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:14. That is to say, we are to share our faith with others so that they too might be saved. Its like this, if once a person becomes a Christian they are automatically sent to heaven, then who will be here to tell other people about the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ so that others might also be saved??? There wouldn't be anyone, Chrisitanity would had died out long ago.

There is nothing that says we are accepted into heaven as soon as we accept Christ. We are servants of the Lord and we are able to serve Him while we are here on this earth. We will enter His kingdom when we have served His purpose.

Because that's not how it works.
The meaning of life is to glorify God, how would we glorify God if imediatly after becoming Christians we magically disapeared up to heaven?
