Where do it say we are going to Heaven !!!!!?

Question

In John 3:13 >Jesuds says "And no man has ascended up to heaven, But He that came downn from heaven, even the Son of man which is in Heaven"
In John 3:5 > Jesus says, Verily,verily I say to you, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
In 1 Corinthians 15:50 > Now this I say brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
Jesuus Christ is the one that baptize with the spieit, and change you; He has not baptized any one yet; He will do it when He returnes to claim His Kingdom.
Why, enyways, would we be going to heaven now, when the heavens and earth is going to be cleaned by fire; there will be a new heaven and a new earth, and afyter the Millennium, God the Father(ELOHIM), is coming down to earth with His Kingdom, to be with his people. Revelations 21:1-27.

Answer 1

John 3:13 ...he was speaking to a group of LIVING people...none of them had gone to heaven. He was explaining to Nicodemus why he (Nicodemus) wasn't able to understand heaven. In the previous verse Jesus said..."I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe: how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things." He was saying that if they wouldn't accept the things he said about something they HAD seen, how could they possibly understand when he talked about things they had not seen...YET!

John 3:5 ...the word "except" says it all. If it were not possible for a person to go to heaven, then no exception was necessary. In John 3:3, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again"...again, a clear exception that suggests that people who ARE born again WILL see the kingdom of God.

1 Cor. 15:50 -- again, no mention that we aren't going to heaven...but I will agree that this suggests that we don't go there the moment we die. Perhaps we all will wait in our graves until the last trumpet, but the next verses DO suggest that the faithful will be "raised imperishable" (eternal life).

...but what about Luke 23:43 when Jesus tells the criminal on the next cross, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise". Was that a promise that those who accepted him will go to a place called "paradise" to await that final trumpet (as opposed to rotting in the grave until that time)?

Re: Revelation, the suggestion that God is "coming down to earth with his kingdom" clearly suggests that his kingdom already existed elsewhere...using the phrase "new heaven" suggests that there is an "old heaven".

I don't pretend to know what God has in mind...I don't know the when or the what or the how...but I do KNOW that God has promised us the right to live in his kingdom for eternity...that's enough for me...I'll leave the rest in his capable hands.

Answer 2

In Revelation 12:7 Satan was kicked out of heaven and down to our earth. Showing us that is a real place. Not that everyone of mankind will go there. Revelation 5;10 shows that those who do go to heaven will be kings and priests and will rule over the earth.
Psalms 37:9,10,1,29 shows what Jesus said, the meek will inherit the earth. That the earth will be here forever.
So there are two classes of people. Also the new heavens and new earth is symbolic. Why would God destroy heaven and make another one? that doesn't make any sense.
But to throw Satan and his demons out and take some people from the earth would change it.
Just like destroying the wicked people on the earth would change it. 2Peter 3:6 said that the earth was destroyed during Noah's day. Actually all that was destroyed was the wicked people. So once again it says in Psalms 37:11 the wicked will be destroyed and the righteous will live on the earth forever.
We will get back what Adam lost. A paradise earth for all to enjoy.

Answer 3

You will get varying opinions on this question. People ask these types of questions all the time and the best answer is, regardless of how God sets up that marvelous New Age which seems to be a hybrid of Earth and Heaven at some point, we ALL need Christ in our hearts to qualify as Citizens for that Kingdom.

Answer 4

We, (believers), will be in "the presence of the Lord", only before the new heaven and new earth are created. Then, there will be no more physical death. Where's the Lord right now? In heaven. Didn't it say Jesus Christ was seated at the right hand of the Father? Where's the Father right now? In heaven. But, after all prophecy has been fulfilled, we will live on the new earth for eternity with Him.

Answer 5

Basically all you need is the Holy Bible and some interest and you will read all about Heaven and the only way to get there is to be born again. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, nobody comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6).

Answer 6

The EARTH... is going to be Dissolved.. BY FIRE... to purify it!

(Gen 4:10) And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

The BILLIONS... that have been Slain... here on earth... is the Reason for A New Heaven.... and a New Earth...!

Thanks, RR

Answer 7

If you follow the 10 commandments and god's and live your life right and believe that JESUS is the son of God and died on the Cross.

Answer 8

I don't know? You can't be sent up to heaven by just doing good deeds. You have to be baptized and recieve the holy spirit.

Answer 9

Good question. 8 minutes old and nobody has been able to give a line that says they will go to Heaven.
