Did Mary and Joseph's parents, Jesus' Grandma and Grampa go to heaven?

Answer 1

Since the fall of man, the basis of salvation has always been the death of Christ. No one, either prior to the cross or since the cross, would ever be saved without that one pivotal event in the history of the world. Christ's death paid the penalty for past sins of Old Testament saints and future sins of New Testament saints.
The requirement for salvation has always been faith. The object of one's faith for salvation has always been God. The psalmist wrote, "Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him" (Psalm 2:12). Genesis 15:6 tells us that Abraham believed God and that was enough for God to account it to him for righteousness (see also Romans 4:3-8). The Old Testament sacrificial system did not take away sin, as Hebrews 9:1-10:4 clearly teaches. It did, however, point to the day when the Son of God would shed His blood for the sinful human race.
What has changed through the ages is the content of a believer's faith. God's requirement of what must be believed is based on the amount of revelation He has given mankind up to that time. This is called progressive revelation. Adam believed the promise God gave in Genesis 3:15 that the Seed of the woman would conquer Satan. Adam believed Him, demonstrated by the name he gave Eve (v.20) and the Lord indicated His acceptance immediately by covering them with coats of skin (v.21). At that point that is all Adam knew, but he believed it.
Abraham believed God according to the promises and new revelation God gave him in Genesis 12 and 15. Prior to Moses, no Scripture was written, but mankind was responsible for what God had revealed. Throughout the Old Testament, believers came to salvation because they believed that God would someday take care of their sin problem. Today, we look back, believing that He has already taken care of our sins on Calvary (John 3:16; Hebrews 9:28).
What about believers in Christ's day, prior to the cross and resurrection, what did they believe? Did they understand the full picture of Christ dying on a cross for their sins? Late in his ministry, "Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day" (Matthew 16:21). What was the reaction of His disciples to this message? "Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, '‘Far be it from you, Lord; this shall not happen to you!'" (16:22). Peter, and the other disciples, did not know the full truth, yet they were saved because they believed that God would take care of their sin problem. They didn't exactly know how He would accomplish that, any more than Adam, Abraham, Moses, or David knew how, but they believed God.
Today, we have more revelation than did people living before the resurrection of Christ, we know the full picture. "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son" (Hebrews 1:1-2). Our salvation is still based on the death of Christ, our faith is still the requirement for salvation, and the object of our faith is still God. Today for us the content of our faith is that Christ died for our sins, that He was buried, and that He rose the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

Answer 2

In regards to Mary's parents; St. Anne and St. Joachim yes they did go to Heaven. As for the grandparents that is unknown; as previous posters have said; if they lived under the rule of the Jewish law, then yes.

Answer 3

Nope. the folk who look to think of so additionally ought to think of the unique Gospel debts have been written in the King's English, and that first-century Jewish society grew to become into only like ours at the instant. The words that have been translated via fact the "brothers" and "sisters" of Jesus do no longer solely advise siblings born of a similar mom, yet in addition different family contributors which includes cousins. without sparkling connection with those "brothers and sisters" additionally being sons/daughters of Mary -- and Jesus is the only one noted as such in Scripture -- this by skill of itself isn't any evidence that Mary and Joseph had different babies, yet only an assumption. the subsequent verse people frequently trot out to someway prepare that Mary and Joseph had marital kinfolk is Matthew a million:25, that Joseph did no longer "be attentive to" her (intimately conversing) until eventually she bore her Son. yet in Matthew 28:29 Jesus says "i'm with you until eventually the top of the international" (does that advise on the top of the international he's now no longer with us?) and in 2 Sam. 6:23 Saul's daughter Michal grew to become into childless until eventually her dying (rather she did no longer have a baby on her deathbed?). So except the proponents of the theory Mary had different babies, or whether she and Joseph even knew marital intimacy for that be counted, can locate yet another verse concerning their actual kinfolk then Matthew a million:25 does no longer advise what they think of it does. And right this is why. Joseph knew finished nicely that the baby in Mary's womb grew to become into God incarnate. As a non secular Jew, drawing near together with his very own flesh the placement the place God had dwelled, and made holy by skill of His presence, could have been unthinkable. final analysis: there grew to become into only one baby born of Mary. If it have been substantial for us to be attentive to precisely the relationships of those different "brothers and sisters" to Jesus, we could have been advised. And if he did certainly have siblings, why while Jesus grew to become into on the circulate did he ask considered one of his disciples to shelter his mom? no you may actually answer that without going off right into a flight of fancy that has no foundation in Scripture. So the respond is sparkling: there have been no siblings. Edited to function: i discover it a chortle that the answerer under who insisted there is "no want for an prolonged-winded dissertation" proceeded to grant us one.
