Question

when the Bible clearly says we wont?

we will still be on earth in the end

But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy.

That verse doesn't even say anything about us staying on the new earth either....

Seems you're wrong.

Answer 2

Christians will rule over all of creation with Christ for eternity. The new earth is where God's presence will manifest. The new earth is just a very small portion of creation i.e. the universe or "Heaven"

Answer 3

The dead that die now here on earth before that time go to Heaven
the body dies, the soul goes to Heaven, then they come back with him when he appears for the second time
The Second Coming of Christ

Rev: 19:

Answer 4

Heaven will be the new earth! They will be one in the same! It will not be this earth we live on now-it will be perfect as God intended it to be before sin ruined it!

Answer 5

The bible tells us God made the heavens for himself and spirit persons. however the earth it says he made for people. Jesus suggested, "the meek will inherit the earth" interior the Hebrew scriptures or to Jews the only desire substitute into the two to flow away into none existance and or stay perpetually on earth. The earth will while wickedness is long previous be a paradise. many spirit persons in Genesis 6: got here to earth to stay with women individuals something God in no way wanted them to do. so as that they grew to alter into demons. Thrown out of heaven and finally Ezekiel says would be destroyed. For angels to choose people does no longer hardly be straightforward, how might they comprehend what we would desire to flow with the aid of? What it is opt to be people? So Jesus suggested, "some would be taken to heaven as spirit persons to rule over the earth" however the thought youngsters and all persons or perhaps animals will flow to heaven is fake. How might desire to they be a spirit individual? Revelation 5:10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and that they are to rule as kings over the earth.” So people who flow to heaven will rule over the earth, with Jesus christ, many human beings don't comprehend this and function everybody going to heaven. the place is heaven? Is it yet another planet? does no longer yet another planet be corrupted like this one? sooner or later this planet would be a paradise like God intened interior the 1st place with babies, animals and resurrected people.

Answer 6

I believe as that verse says there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth. And I think we will be able to go back and forth between the two freely.

Answer 7

The Bible says that when a person dies, the soul immediately enters the presence of God.

Answer 8

As long as I am with the Lord I don't care if it's heaven or earth.

Answer 9

That was before global warming. Now, we have to make Mars as the new heaven but for the rest of us will stay where we are as we are.

Answer 10

I have no idea, but to say Christians as in we all do it is wrong. I personally say we spend it with God...where ever that is is fine and it happens to be on a new earth! cool...

Answer 11

john 17:3 Jesus says "Now this is eternal life:that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."

The place does not matter it is being in the arms of my creator for eternity, surrounded by His love, and Knowing Him more intimately than I ever could here on earth.
