Many times I hear preachers say at funerals, "The Bible says 'to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord'". They are implying that once we die - in the blink of an eye we are in heaven. That MAY be true, but that scripture is terribly misquoted and it gets on my nerves when it's used incorrectly like that. Here's what it actually says: "So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil." 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 The whole point of that passage is not about when we go to heaven, but that no matter where we are - we need to be about pleasing God. Actually, start with verse 1 to get the whole context. Then there's the biblical teaching that "The dead in Christ shall rise and we shall meet them in the air." from the passage of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 My best answer I can give you is that I can't give you an answer with absolute clarity.

Their body lies in the grave until the resurrection which is at the rapture of the Church. Welcome to Worthy wildflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has been born of the Spirit and has the indwelling Holy Spirit will be immediately in the presence of Christ in Heaven. And absent from the body is indeed to be present with the Lord. There is no Purgatory and there is no Soul Sleep. That is why Christ said "Ye MUST be born again!". Because to be without Christ is to be in Hades, and then eternal Hell.

According to the passage of the rich man and Lazarus, we are going to the Abraham's bosom: "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom." (Luke 1.19-23). Welcome to Worthy and may Jesus edify you through this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
