As a Hebrew (Israelite) who believes in Messiah Y'shua, I do not agree with many things taught by the UCG - However, this post is correct. People do not go to heaven at death. Jews never believed this - it is Gnostic Greek doctrine - nothing more. Paul knew "WHEN WE ARE SAVED" (see 1st Cor 5:5). in the DAY OF MESSIAH - at the resurrection is when we are "saved" and "born again". This is also when we are judged and assigned our eternal destiny. Not before. On a side note - be careful on this website. The creator of this website teaches many things that are contrary to the plain reading of Scripture.

If they reject Christ died on the cross yes as a substitute for mans sin the yes Eric, I believe that is correct. It is not up to you or me or any other person to judge goodness. Certainly not by God's definition. We have laws here on earth that we all live by, No ? If we don't obey them we are judged and sentenced. Why would the creator of the Universe not also have unchangeable laws. Even more so, there must be some things in Heaven as on earth that cannot be changed. Furthermore, we don't know how many millions of muslims, buddhists, hindu's, atheists etc will come to find the truth of the only holy book with thousands of prophecies fulfilled and accept the Jesus Christ was truly the Son of God..On eof the end time prophecies is that the Gosbel will be preached to ALL corners of the Earth. In the end many who were first will be last and many who were last will be first..

we have a body, soul, and a spirit, but we are still one.

People are in Hell right now, really. So when people die they either go to Heaven or Hell at the point. Wow, I thought that when people died they were dead waiting on one of the resurrections from the grave. So if people die and go where ever. Does that mean that at the time of their resurrection, they are taken out of Heaven or Hell and put back into the grave dead and then resurrected to life? How would that work. Revelation 20 starting in verse 4 is the first resurrection of the Saints and God's first fruits. In verse 5 it says that the rest of the dead do not live again until the thousand years were finished. I'm not fully understanding your Biblical logic on dead people being alive in Heaven and Hell and then being resurrected in the future. Also, Hebrews 11, the faith chapter, goes through a lot of well known people of the Old Testament, including Enoch. Twice in Hebrews 11 Paul says that these all died not receiving the promises or promises given to our earthly father Abraham. Anyway, I found you from watching your YouTube video concerning Christmas and it's pagan roots. Also Sunday worship was part of that. So if your keeping Sunday as your sabbath then you would be breaking the 4th commandment. Also Easter is pagan too. So keeping Easter or Ishtar the pagan god of fertility (bunny rabbits) and Spring as Christ's resurrection is wrong. The Bible does not condemn people for being deceived. The Second resurrection, covered in Revelation 20 starting in verse 11, is the people that Christ died for. This would be Christ and the Passover symbolism of saving the sick or sinner. Anyway I'm going on and on. Oh one last thing concerning Christ's return and his 1000 year reign here on earth. Three things take place. Of course Christ's return, the resurrection of the Saints and Satan being bound for that 1000 year period. Bye

Part 2 . So the Angle that was a witness of my life like everyone has one . If male you'll have a male .Then I was there in the ground for some years in peace , this is my feature .Then when it was my time to go in line My soul was picked up by him ,then at the grave a huge grey -blue-male huge creature waist up & tries to grab me & him ,& barely makes it . He said congratulation , you've made it . Then I was at the end of the line .A huge angle was at the front of the line . I was half the size of his big toe while he wore sandal's & a white robe .Then the line got small enough for me to go through the gate .I saw male Angles w/wings next to the one's they were witnessing there lives with a crystal like thing .And female ones also across the females . The Angles were at the right side of the line in there own line across from each person , but next to each person also .So they weren't to far a way from each person .I was scared at 1st because I thought I might fall from the cloud ground .I no one could barely move there body .Then later ,it was the Angle that took me up there finally came back to move me in the middle of the line .My legs were so soar like I was standing years for each person to be judged .Like 36 years was like 4-6 months when done seeing your life from the Crystal that has your life in the top light of the crystal .Be hind me was a rich guy not humble nor fear God . I was shocked .Then it was my turn . I had to walk to the right of the fall some where no one sees me or hear us while sentencing .Jesus was sitting down . on His left , was hell or hell like . On his right side was a gate with another male Angle that was tall . He said I was going the wrong way , in telepathy so I went left . Then I saw the guy who might of killed me .He was going to liquidate my faces so my heart would blow up ,before I get off the train.Up there , I didn't remembered how I died or if he killed me , but had the sense he was the one I've forgave ,because he was willing to ask the Asian guy next to the next door who does thumbs up or thumbs down if you were that close to him .If at a far a way door from me ,they won't have a pistol ,but across from you will be a line of bad guys w/assault -rifles in case you ran of the train to blend in w/those they let to live .They don't choose , they just kill ,most bad guys at most 95 % of the train doors , I think .He asked ,the Asian & he had one .He made that look like well , you wanted me to get a pistol , lets get over w/it .He shot me in the for-head . They one says ,is he dead . While I was in the pile . The other says .liq. him just in case .All you feel is pressure ,no pain ,if shot first .Well up there in Heaven , he was planting flowers on my path . Jusus said being sky & the air if was air ,this time ,said to me ,"Don't acknowledge him . This one is still being tested .He looked at me w/rage ,jealousy,& hate ,like look ..Then he fell from the ground to Earth some where . Maybe Hell that Hell is I know .They tried pulling my leg once to fall to hell w/them . My brother wouldn't help pull me away . Just sat & watched w/his girl friend at the time while I was calling for his help . I'll tell more later .

Yes there is a hell & a Heaven . If you don't know, say you don't know . The visions I seen , & the evil spirits I see a lot & me seeing at least 4 bad Angels , & bed creatures that only people who can see spirits of a dead dog , or a dead guy in a store in line while he's at a table seeing it as it vanishes wondering if if he already dead or just someone in the future is going to die there ,or if I seen A guy get out of a truck w/no one w/him & suddenly a gloomy woman like she is waiting for something ,& regrets being dead ,Then vanishes ,as the guy comes back & when he opens the door ,no one is there . I told my sister about it years later & she said , maybe he killed her & put the body in the truck one day to move her some where .And if I went to Pee out side in the dark in my yard facing the curved dark road where no one can see me & I see them walking pass the the mail box & gets angry that I can see them & runs after me in a floating fashion like he is going to attack me or go inside so I ran to the light near my home at the the where my brother , and another person is there trying to find the key still .Then it vanishes . Another time , I saw so many other spirits evil creature beings all over every where that might of looked like the one , or different w/no ears but a whole w/robes also . I don't know why they are every where , some times I'll see them in that form . Another is a black robe figure at a distance watching me some times , but I sense him every day & ignore him . God told me to ignore them ,& have faith , & patience .There are other stories also .Like when I almost died from taking one last pill if I'll taking one winter sweating . Then God says in the dark sky ,"Do you see those things in & under the tree ,those creatures or if I sense them .I said yes . Then Jesus said ,they are waiting for you to take the last pill so they can take you to hell . Now that you know that it would be a suicide ,now you have a choice . It's up to you ."Then the feeling of his presence was gone .

Re: What Does The Bible Say About Hell?

annonmous — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 07:19:29 -0000

Hell & Heaven does exist .Hell is for those who do suicide by accident or not .I did pills once for toe pain ,but didn't doing any help . Is was winter . I was sweating . God ,Jesus came to me in the night from Heaven beaming above me or down near me & said to me ,"See those thing in & under the trees . They are waiting for you to take the last pill & take you to Hell .Now you know it will be suicide if you take it .The choice is yours & vanished . Later , At another time period I saw parts of Hell some .Those same creatures that look like storks with human arms under the wings brought 2 ppl. there . A bad angle said to the bird , this one there & the other there . They were tied up on a like a tank wheel .At the end of one was a dicer for layer after later too slowly for the 2nd dice & so forth . The other was fire at the end Going way to slow towards it ,as they were tied or handcuffed like an "x".The wall were 2 layers one taller then the other the outer one smaller that they walked on back & forth after being tied by them .Another part of hell is those thing like the movie : Fire in the sky . They walk the person to a cave & hand cuff them like a standing "x".as there is a cave like room inside it . Hand cuffed at the rim frame enterance .A male was I ved as 2 little females on the same hard bed .One on each side of him . They looked old & starving . Then every 17 or 20 minutes the pain will stop & hell , then same ways . Nail to the hip ,or under the toe,or the hip .I'm guessing where ever ppl. would have pain on earth gets nailed there for a sertin-crime .Another was a dark like nursery of babies in cribs carried by a hairy 2 legged beings or creature . There is a dim light on the rt. wall .They wonder if they will ever go out to see the light .Then that one creature left at the u-turn as the cribs are on the rt. on the u-turn . The babies were like with souls like adults , but can't move .There are also starving ppl. who hates good ppl. & tries to send ppl. to hell to attack the good . Maybe they are Demons also ? .Heaven is 1st a light around the dead body if they are making it there .To keep the evil spirits from taking you as you sleep in peace waiting to go to Heaven . Need to wait until my enimie dies in some yr. later since I've judged harshly ,silently to others . I forgave him bec. he was willing to see if he can shoot me instead of liquidate me . So he made it 1st .I was at the end of the line (I'll tell the rest later) . Later .

Re: What Does The Bible Say About Homosexuality?

Michael Samuel Miller Jr — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:39:06 -0000

The problem with such an argument as this one - for you're not the only one who has said this VERY SAME argument - is that no one goes to Hell for loving another of the same sex. They go to Hell for rejecting Christ, for their sins against God. So if someone telling you that you're going to Hell (prior to receiving the salvation of Christ) is hurtful, then good! Because it ought to be a wake-up call that something isn't right! And Jesus Christ is the only way to set things to right.

Further, regardless of what the feeling or emotion is, people have the ability to CHOOSE to act upon or reject whatever impulse or inclination such an emotion invokes.

The Bible makes it VERY clear: humans are evil, void of God. What we are born with is a nature to rebel against the way God made us. And the way God made us was stated very clearly in Genesis. There is nothing whatsoever that suggests homosexuality or bisexuality was part of our spiritual or biological make-up.

I would agree that we ought not to judge the individual for whatever choices they make. But we are most certainly called to judge their actions with a righteous heart. For God has made it clear what is morally right and morally wrong. He wrote it into our very being! (See Romans where Paul discusses the matter of the written Law and the Law God wove into our hearts at Creation.) So yes, we MUST judge homosexuality. God has already condemned the practice. You cannot say you have a relationship with Christ while also continuing to sin in the very act He declared as outside of His design. Jesus reinforced the design is ONLY for a man and a woman. All other relationships between the same sex must NOT include the eros type of love (the Greek word from which we get "erotic", denoting sensual and sexual love, reserved exclusively for married couples).

So you see, while you're correct to say that a loving Creator would not create something to simply condemn it, God didn't create you to be bisexual. That is a lie you have bought into. When you use the truth (God is love) to justify a sin (it's okay to romantically/sexually love another outside of God's design), then you are creating a reality of your own design, and not following Christ. It's still worse when you use others around you who accept your choices despite the error in order to justify your argument. That doesn't flow.

Brandon, you don't have to go to church to be saved, and yes you can still go to heaven. However, I encourage you to find a good church. The bible tells us wherever two or three are gathered in his name, then he will be there also. Being part of a church will help encourage your relationship with God and your presence may even help strengthen others.

Divorced Woman needs a do over — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:59:39 -0000

Lil pooh....once a child of God always a child of God. Christ was crucified only once, once saved always saved. Divorce not will condemn you, no, it's not acceptable in the eyes of God under the old covenant. Jesus is the new covenant, all is forgiven, if you do divorce. But the bible encourages us not divorce, except under extreme circumstances as maritual unfaithfulness or abusiveness. The bible says that we are to honor a marriage if the other doesn't want a divorce,we are to forgive our spouse and work on the marriage. God does allow separation, perhaps even long term, so we can work out problems, from a safe distance. Remember to be like Christ in everything we say and do, with humbleness, grace, a reflection of our inner self. We should emit unfailing beauty of a gentle & quiet spirit, which is great worth in God's sight. (1Peter 3:4)
Seek God's word; search deeply for answers. Also, get counsel from your pastor/ ministers as they have knowledge, theologically on God

Basically when Moses was given a description of how to build the tabernacle, it was a representation of what already exists in heaven. (Heb 8:4-6).

The third heaven (God's throne) probably exists in the north (Is. 14:13). There are also other numerous scriptures indicating this (use a search engine like Bible Gateway to study the word north).

Re: What Does The Bible Say About Heaven?

Hope — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:04:20 -0000

Actually the Bible does say that all go to hell even animals (sheol). Eccl. 3:19-20; 9:2-3.

Christ Himself said people go to hell (John 5:28). Daniel also confirmed this (Dan. 12:2).

Sheol (hell) is a grave, where people are sleeping and awaiting either Christ's return (if they are His saints) or the 2nd resurrection.

Re: What Does The Bible Say About Heaven?

Hope — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:53:57 -0000

Actually God has a much greater plan for us than sitting around for eternity. Christ and His Father have set the example for us, as They have been working until now (John 5:17).

The vast universe, its stars and galaxies are our inheritance:

Hebrews 2:5-8For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.
But one testified in a certain place, saying: "What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You take care of him?
You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, and set him over the works of Your hands.
You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.

The contract of marriage is null and void upon death (Rom. 7:2).

Christ describes the wedding supper that will take place when He returns. Now some people whom the Father has called (John 6:65) are betrothed to Christ, and when Christ returns they will be 'married'. Today we would say engaged, but betrothal is actually a stronger commitment/contract than an engagement is.

Marriage symbolises the relationship between God the Father and Christ. How can two walk together unless they are agreed? (Amos. 3:3) And it also symbolises the relationship we have or will have with Christ. The children we have from marriage, are actually children of God (Mal.2:15). God wants a family, and He is working with some people now (Matt. 24:22), and then all people who ever lived later on to become His children who will be resurrected to Spirit beings.

Re: What Does The Bible Say About Heaven?

Hope — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:36:51 -0000

God is coming to earth. First Christ will return to Earth (Rev. 20) to rule with His saints, then after the millennium (1000 years) and the white throne judgement (the resurrection and conversion of all those who lived and never knew God) God the Father will come and dwell with men (Rev. 21).

Christ said no one as ascended to heaven (John 3:13), and the apostles confirmed that David was dead and buried (Acts 2:29, 34).

The truth is that death is really a sleep. Ecclesiastes confirms that the wicked, animals and the righteous all go to the same place when they die (Eccl. 4:19-20; 9:2-3). The difference between man and beast is that God has given man a spirit (a remarkable mind that can compute and comprehend things); an analogy would be like a memory stick that one plugs into a computer--it only works when plugged into the computer. When you did your body returns to dust, but the spirit goes to God (Eccl. 12:7). The body cannot live without the spirit, and neither can the spirit exist independently without the body. The Bible says the dead know NOTHING (Eccl. 9:5).

The truth is that people will be resurrected; Christ was the prototype (firstborn) for this. The saints will be first (1 Thess. 4:16), and will be Spirit beings like God (1 John 3:2, Phil. 3:21, Ps. 17:15). Those who did not know God, and were not called to know him (John 6:65), will still be sleeping and waiting until after the 1000 years of Christ's return to earth. God has allowed millions of people to not follow Him or His way, and "committed them all to disobedience, that He may have mercy on all" (Rom. 11:32).

Salvation is a free gift received the moment we believe in Jesus. The "Sinner's Prayer" is not found in the Bible--it is a relatively new invention/tradition of man. Research it. In the book of Acts when the jailer asked what he must do to be saved, he was told to believe on Jesus, NOT recite some prayer. Want to know more?

Brandon — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:29:59 -0000

Good question,

I had to think twice about it when I read it. Why would the Bible say don't call your father, "father", -"for you have one Father who is in heaven" (God).

We have to be careful when to take things literally and when to look at the whole picture and see what is going on. In this case Jesus is talking to the Pharisees (who were supposed to be the super religious of the day) and he is telling them that their hearts are not right. The reason they are super religious is for all the extra attention they get. Jesus is telling them that their faith is not supposed to be about themselves but rather about the Father in Heaven. We are to respect Him. And the Pharisees were too concerned about themselves and their reputation to respect God through their lives.

Notice in the latter verses Jesus says YOU are NOT the instructors- rather, you have an instructor who is Christ.

He is not saying don't call your father "father", but rather trying to place emphasis on who the Pharisees TRUE Father should be. He is trying to take the attention off of them and place it on God. Hope this helps :)
