Jesus said He is the only way, After He was crucified, He went back to heaven to be with the father. Jesus said that where he is, there will I be also. He is in heaven, for now. I am in heavely places at this time, As I abide in Jesus, and his word abide in me At death, I will be abscent from this body, present with the Lord, in heaven. Then at a future date, I expect to live on the new earth ! Our Father, is in heaven. Jesus said He is the only way, After He was crucified, He went back to heaven to be with the father.

Jesus said that where he is, there will I be also. He is in heaven, for now.

I am in heavely places at this time, As I abide in Jesus, and his word abide in me

At death, I will be abscent from this body, present with the Lord, in heaven.

Then at a future date, I expect to live on the new earth !

I understand the concept, but I hate to ever say anything about it, because before I was saved, I would have called it a copout. Now, I know better, but something experienced supernaturally is so hard to convey without sounding ridiculous. However, that's why we rely on the holy spirit... It's a good reminder that we don't do the saving, we can't ever persuade, trick, convince or otherwise control whether or not someone believes. 1 Corinthians 2:14, right?

I came to the conclusion that the God I worship is <i>not</i> the same god the atheist hates. I'm not sure a Christian can ever have a "real" conversation with someone who doesn't believe the way they do because the perspectives are so very different and so very far apart.

LOL When I look at people like, say, Fred Phelps, and even Pat Robertson, I can certainly understand why you'd feel that way. But from reading your comment, it seems obvious you don't have a clear understanding of how the whole thing works from a Christian perspective. No special reason why you should, if you adhere to another faith - but the rapture concept is by no means mainstream even to Christians, much less Jews, and if it <i>were</i> true, that same teaching promises a boatload of trouble for those "left behind." >they could all go there and we would have our Earth back.

In my religion there is no carrot dangling from a stick somewhere just beyond the veil of death. A part of me does really hope that heaven exists, though. Not so that I or others of my faith can go there but so that, were the rapture as envisioned by the Children of Abraham, to ever happen, they could all go there and we would have our Earth back.
