They teach you as if they know what is going on in heaven and has never been there. I read my Bible and the things that the Holy Ghost teaches, I find that it’s better than what man teaches. The man who has never been dead is always trying to teach and explain death and the soul and has never been there. Some things that they tell you are not written in the Bible. Man will tell you that you don’t go to heaven when you die. I have never read such a thing in God’s word. The Bible did say that Elijah went to heaven on a chariot
The Bible also said that the saints came out of the graves after Jesus resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Those people have already risen and it is not judgment day yet. Who really knows what God is doing when he doesn’t work the same way all of the time (Matt. 27:52)?
Jesus did not see death the same way as other men. To him death was a sleep (Luke 8:52). To me, a man is just dead to this earth when his works are finished here when he dies. A man is dead when he dies for the fact that his spirit has left his body. Then he is absent from the body and present with the Lord (2 Cor.5:8). When he is absent from the body and present with the Lord, where is the Lord? He is in heaven. I suppose some believe that the spirit and soul is still in the ground where the body is rotting and unclean.
The Bible teaches that the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Cor. 2:14). It is better to learn the word and study for yourself as you continue to listen to man. You will find the wisdom of God in a mystery and not wisdom of the world.
