Thats what's dishonest about you, and I'm not angry. I've dealt with dishonest and condescending posters before. I quote the original text concerning Elijiah going up to heaven but you cant accept it. So, you put soooooo much effort into discrediting the scriptures by adding your doctrine yet...
Seriously?
Clearly, you are upset that the scriptures are against you, and because you insist on your own views being correct you speak words that only Satan would want someone to say to a person who is only using God's word.
Think about it. Why would you suddenly turn on someone, and say...
In none of the verses you quoted, is there any mention of people being resurrected before end of the days. Even Mary sleeps.
Only with the coming of the "Lord", with trumpets and probably waving of the palm leaves.
There is a way to know if anyone has gone to heaven... from the Bible.
1Thessalonians4:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:20-23
Even resurrection is carried out in an orderly way, since Jehovah is a God of order.
So, from the scriptures, yes, persons are raised to heaven before judgment day... including...
I find the dead sleep in the grave until Resurrection Day. Resurrection Day starts after Day One of Jesus' coming thousand-year reign over Earth. Resurrection Day is a thousand-year day.
They will have the opportunity to live forever on Earth as originally offered to Adam before his downfall...
Are you saying that those who died before the coming of Christ will not be lifted up to meet Christ 'in the air' at the rapture? [1Thessalonians4:15-17] Or, are you saying that when Christ returns with his saints that there will be a dividing of the saints into those who live on earth for a...
It does seem like it would be noticeable. The scriptures don’t indicate one way or another whether the whole world hears the trumpet and shout or only believers in Christ. I think it’s likely that all hear something loud and noticeable, but only believers comprehend what they are hearing. Others...
From what I understand, the term secret rapture indicates that the pre-tribulation rapture of dispensationalism does not involve an appearance of Jesus that would be noticed by the whole world. First Thessalonians 4.15-17 is thought to refer to that rapture.
When I read 1Thessalonians 4.15-17...
I find 1Thessalonians4:15-17 is dealing with: resurrection.
Chapter 4 is addressed to Christ's 'brothers' ( the 'brothers' of Matthew 25:40 and Not the sheep or goats ).
Jesus was caught away in the clouds (Acts 1:9) 'caught away' when Jesus was: resurrected.
So, the 'brothers' living...
Jesus is the son of man. And he will return to earth to gather his saints.
Matthew 24:25–28
25There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves. 26Men will faint from fear and anxiety...
No human, including Jesus was to be worshipped. Any honor or reverence, given to such was “obeisance”.
Whilst Mary was alive, she received no special mention, except that she was to be favoured as God’s choice to bring his son into the world. This included Joseph who was betrothed to Mary, but...
cont...
That they will be put to death is clearly seen in Revelation, when God is asked how much longer will he await to bring vengeance upon this wicked human society, he says it will not be until the rest of the holy ones alive at that time are about to be put to death as the holy ones that...
There are two resurrections spoken about in the Bible.....one is the "first resurrection" which is mentioned by both apostles, John and Paul and the other is mentioned by Jesus.
1Thessalonians4:15-17....Paul wrote....
"For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive...

In Torah there is no mention and no trace of resurrection or anything synonymous. You quoted from Hebrews - NT.
No resurrection in Ecclesastes either. Only sheol (Grave in your translation). And this book is the most bitter about it.
Job is a special case. The belief in...
God’s servants have always believed in the resurrection. Abraham, who lived 2,000 years before Jesus was born as a human, when asked to sacrifice his son, the Bible says: “He reckoned that God was able to raise him [his son Isaac] up even from the dead.” (Hebrews 11:17-19)
His main reason for...
That's what they all believed.. during their lifetime.
Soon still means soon.
Jesus never spoke of the end of the earth or the end of the world. He spoke of the end of an age.
Some scriptures to add context you seem to have left out provided below for your help...
MATTHEW 16:27-28 has partial fulfillment in the next chapter in Matthew 17 at the transfiguration (Peter, John and James) *MATTHEW 17:1-6 but will have complete fulfillment at the second coming. The bible...
You say you believe in the bible but you do not follow it or believe the scriptures that show why your claims are in error in relation to the resurrection. Don't your find your position a contradiction to what your posting here? I guess that is how I am seeing it. I do not say this in disrespect...
