  Yes, of course everyone is going to heaven at some point after they die. Where else would they go? I don't think we go straight to the real and final heaven. Remember what Paul (or was it John) said of being carried away to the seventh heaven? Sounds like there are levels of heaven. Perhaps there's a first heaven for the newbies, and when you get as perfect as you can get in the first heaven, you go to the second, and so on. Makes just as much sense as anything else I've ever heard.

  And why do I think this way? GAWD told me so. (Hell's bells, everybody else claims to speak for God; why not me? I'm at least as bright as Joe Rutherford, and not nearly so inclined to lie like a dog.)

  Dearest Francois... peace to you! May I address your comment? Thank you!

  You said:

  Actually, it was Paul who spoke of "knowing a man who WENT... to the THIRD heaven..." This man... was the Apostle John (the Revelation sheds some 'light' on that).

  There are indeed 'levels' in the spirit realm: they are called 'principalities' or 'territories' or 'realms'... and they have 'rulers'... some of which are 'wicked'. Such rulers are/were 'princes', and at one time included the spirit being known as "Satan, the Devil".

  My Lord, then, who is JAHESHUA (Jah Saves) MISCHAJAH (Messiah; Chosen/Anointed of Jah), the Son and Christ of the Holy One of Israel, my Father, JAH OF ARMIES... is the PRINCE... of princes.

  I know my response be a BIT nerve-wracking for you... but I am of the belief that inaccuracies stated and/or accepted as TRUTH... is what has misled MANY of earthling man... to their/our detriment. Please, then, excuse my pendancity in this matter.

  Again, I bid you peace.

  A slave of Christ,
