Am I not allowed to give an opinion FMF? Do you not realize that a person's perspective and/or opinion on a subject can change?

Let me now ask you a question pertaining to the OP. If a Christian believes in a Heaven, and certain ways on how to get to such a Heaven.....where do you think they get their information?

Originally posted by FMFYes, all of those sources you listed ultimately get their information from the Bible. So, if a person does not believe in some of the things written in the pages of the Bible, then it leads to internal conflict. The OP for example (which you have yet to comment on, lol) is asking about the issue of Heaven. I have given an opinion of what I believe......all inclusion......what is your belief?

Originally posted by DeepThoughtYou are referring to the transfiguration. Nowhere does it state that they came down from heaven. Jesus himself stated that what they saw was a vision.
I'm pretty sure the New Testament has Jesus go up a mountain and have a chat with Moses and Elijah who came down from heaven to do it. So this seems to contradict the notion that no one before Jesus went to heaven.
As they were descending from the mountain, Jesus commanded them: “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man is raised up from the dead.” - Matthew 17:9

This double posting and odd behavior, like jumping to Public Forums after I post, has been happening to me too. I figured RHP changed something and it is no longer compatible with IE9.

In this case Moses and Elijah were not real. They were a vision!
So there is no contradiction with Jesus statement.

That person’s praise comes from God, not from people.
The 144,000 are the Jews. Jews here being defined as direct offspring of the children of Jacob.
So after the literal Jews put His Son, Christ Jesus, to death, Jehovah formed a spiritual Israel from people of all the Nations.
(Acts 15:14) Symʹe·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
The 144,000 are made up of those people from all tribes and tongues and nations.
Your comment may be based on Revelation 7:4-8.
If you compare, this listing of tribes does not correspond with the original 12 tribes of the literal Nation of Israel. There are at least 3 differences.
So the Revelation listing is obviously symbolic referring to spiritual Israel.
