Is scripture indicating that damnation awaits, those that simply fear social ostracism, not just those of us who may fear facing physical torture or death at the hand of persecutors? [Proverbs 22:3, Proverbs 27:12, Revelation 12:11, Galatians 1:10, Luke 17:33, Matthew 16:25, Hebrews 2:14-15, Matthew 10:29, Acts 21:13, Philippians 1:12-26, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 21:8].
What happens to believers when we die? Are we going to be conscious beings in heaven? Will we be able to communicate with loved ones? [2 Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:21-23, I Thessalonians 4:14, I Corinthians 15].
What do you think if I sense that the Father wants me to liquidate my assets to care for my parents, before He is willing to take me home? [Philippians 1:22, I Timothy 5:4, Matthew 15, Mark 7].
"TODAY you will be w/ Me in paradise", "absent from the body, present w/ the Lord" but then it says our resurrected bodies are raised to meet Him in the air. [Luke 23:43, Philippians 1:21-23, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18]
Do we go to heaven as soon as we die, or are we unconscious until the resurrection? [Philippians 1:21-23, Ecclesiastes 9:5, 2 Corinthians 12:2-3, John 11]
Why do people use this passage of Scripture as an absolute proof text that we are present with God if we are out of our body? [2 Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:21-23]
