Where does my spirit go when I die?
Ecc 12:7 - and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Where is God?
No one is going to Heaven (and my introduction to the forum)

Welcome Sobrino. We are individuals with the capacity to think for ourselves. The best thing about this site is that for the most part, you can have a good old debate without being labeled. Enjoy it buddy

Hi, believingxjw: you asked the following
" Is Jesus always going to be in heaven? No…"
Could you expound on that a bit? Thanks.
(Acts 3:19-21) . . .Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get YOUR sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the person of the Lord and that he may send forth the Christ appointed for YOU, Jesus, whom heaven, indeed, must hold within itself until the times of restoration of all things of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets of old time. . .
I honestly think Acts 3:21 shuts down the Society's 1914, Jesus will be and reign in heaven w/ 144k doctrine because: According to Acts, Jesus will only be in heaven "until" it is the time of the restoration. Since he's only in heaven temporarily and since he's coming back, I think Acts 3:21 is the most explicit text of his temporal residence in heaven. Of course, there are all the other texts of "coming again" that imply the same principle. -

I don't know why you both can't be right...Revalation 21 talks about the new heaven AND the new earth and "the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God...And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God"...He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"
Why shouldn't the process of 'making everything new' not include the earth? If one believes in the renewal and redemption offered to people, its not such a stretch to think that the earth and all creation would not be renewed too. There is Biblical evidence for such.
