princefunmi:

You are right about the fact that the majority of mankind will stay here right on earth. But that Christ will rule here on earth and not in heaven is a very big error. Christ's throne will be firmly established in heaven and in the company of the 144,000 (people who have been chosen from the human race), Christ will rule over mankind on earth. It is at this period that mankind shall be returned to the state of perfection. This rule will last for a thousand years.

The heaven described in the Bible is cheap at any price! Even if I have to wait for a billion years to get in there, it will be more than worth the wait

25Calibre: As a Christian myself, I'm at a point where I'm beginning to question the relevance of religion, the reality of God, Heaven or hell.

But I must say according to the bible, after death, a soul either goes to HEAVEN or HELL, then during the rapture, the souls dead in Christ shall rise first, meaning their mortal bodies transformed into immortal celestial bodies, shall rise to be reunited with their souls in heaven.

Then the sinners who missed the rapture will face the great tribulation for 7 years ( especially the 2nd 3.5 years )after which Jesus and his saints shall return to this world for the millennial reign, then only shall satan be bound hands and legs and thrown into the bottomless pit.

After the millennial reign, then comes the GREAT WHITE THROWN JUDGEMENT where every man shall stand ( even the occupants of hell brought out ) and give account if his life, the goats Separated from the sheeps, the saints admitted into heaven for eternal bliss, the sinners thrown into THE LAKE OF HELL for eternal damnation

This actually known as the study of eschatology.

GhaliNaaba: But come to think of it. Are we saying trillions of people will ressurect to occupy the Earth again? Wahala wa o.....

Uclloyd28: What will one have 2 do to make heaven please? Going by what I've been told, majority of people won't make heaven and if that's the case, why did Christ shed his blood for our sins then. I really need answers please

SwTonia: Talking abt death i lost ma sister yastaday

CAPTIVATOR: TO UNDERSTAND THIS PART....LETS LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACH:
Its Heartwarming that the Bible tells us abt the Condition of the dead in Ecclesistiess 9:5 which says "But as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all" WHICH SHOWS D DEAD KNOWS NOTHING....Just as Lazarus is NEVA written to go to anywhere when he die during his Unconscious period in the Tomb..Infact He himself Neva Gave a picture of Heaven after he was resurrected.
But at this point somone may say Wat abt d SPIRIT? The word translated "Spirit" in d Bible also

Fili_Dei: @ OP,

The Catholic Church teaches that those with mortal sins go to eternal damnation; those without any unforgiven sin or unsatisfied temporal punishment go to heaven; those with venial sins (not mortal) and unsatisfied temporal punishment go to purgatory to be purged for their final entrance into heaven.

If you'll listen...

frosbel: when we die we return to the dust and remain there until the resurrection and subsequent judgement.

No one goes to heaven or a bogus hell, this is the stuff of Greek mythology.

Man is dust and we retrurn to dust. If Jesus had not resurrected then no one would have had any hope of life, but we thank God that Jesus has defeated death and even though we may die, if we belief in him, we shall live.

"........ until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."" - Genesis 3:19

and

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting "contempt." - Daniel 12:2

CAPTIVATOR: ....MY BRO....DATS D FAKE LIE DAT PASTORS NWADAYS GIVE TO PEOPLE WHEN INDEED D BIBLE SHOWS DAT ONLY 144,000 are going to Heaven nd dey are to Rule as kings with Jesus Christ(Rev 5:9,10; 20:4)...While d remanin Earth Population dat are QUALIFIED to be ressurected will b on earth(Psalm 72:7,8 ;Isaiah 45:18; Isaiah 9:6,7; Matthew 5:5) In Gods new Paradise On Earth (Matthew 6:9,10; Revelation 21:3-5)

pof600: I cannot believe the amount of ignorance that is displayed on this site on daily basis regarding religion. Once again, your god doesn't exist (provide evidence to proof the contrary). It's ridiculous adults still believes in heaven & hell. You need a proper education.

tucee31:

So who are the 144,000 ppl?

haibe: To be sincered with you op i have found the eschatological events a bit confusing, i know there is a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, so i don't understand the idea of going to heaven, anyone can enlighten me please, also i know the bible talks about the lake of fire and hell as a place of suffering but i have not perfectly established the difference and who would be in hell and lake of fire, someone who has the undertanding can enlighten me.

Personally i don't border thinking of hell again, i just make sure i follow the leading of the Holy spirit and so the right thing always, by this i care less of hell. Whenever i preach the gospel i preach about the love of God and the need for christ, i don't preach hell, that is left for the Holy Spirit to teach the convert.

So that's me, i care less about hell, the relationship i have with God and love i have for Him casts out the fear of hell.

sanniemoe:

God bless U. I am a muslim and this account of the grave scares me like hell. May Allah in His infinite mercies forgive us all but astagafirlah,on the other hand,is there truly hellfire. I understand dont and wouldn't compromise His standards but don't U think the concept of hellfire overrules that of destiny. If everything in life was written or say destined by God,then whats the logic behind hellfire and heaven,whats the justification?

For example; Adolf Hitler right from the moment he was conceived in his mother's womb, God's destined him to be evil anf commit all sorts of crime against humanity. Why would God deliberately now want to punish Adolf for acting scripts He directed,for living a life he was destined to live?

Then,it baffles me why some people are chosen and some are cursed.. what exactly is the motive behind life? What is the driving force?

It doesnt matter your religion,I need someone to help ne out here

trolling: hell is sheol but lake of fire will be at Negev

you do err....the great tribulation starts after the House of Judah completes their tribulation....tribulation and anguish to Jews first then to the world,and aint no such junk as rapture
