going to heaven/hell when one dies
dave:
Thank you all.
Well I just have this hope ....2Ti 2:15 be diligent to present thyself approved to God--a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;
That the Lord will find a use for me to set free the true joy of the Lord in all his people and I reason that with the Lord's help foremost, and from others, such as on this forum, that the only in roads are to be able to approach those friends in the buildings and assemblies with words of love that will express their error in thinking. I believe the word repent means just that to have a changed mind.
I know that when the Lord began opening my eyes years ago and I was pulled out of all denominations trying many, that I was a pretty lonely guy with the truths He revealed and no one to share with but the Lord and with joy, until back in 2007 when the Lord led me or helped me find BT's.
I go to an assembly now, all good people who love Jesus, I sit and wonder and just hope with prayer that the Lord would make a way for me to be used as His hearts desire. So what ever verses that console them about heaven I would just like to study. Thanks again to all of you.

Micah,
I think that is an excellent prayer.
Thank you for your question.
Marky-Mark, may God bless you abundantly. :)

--- Quote from: micah7:9 on September 01, 2012, 05:10:29 PM ---Just wondering(and it may be elementary) but when and how did the teaching get started, that when we die, they either go to heaven or hell?
I mean, is there some verse of scripture that says anything close or like that?
--- End quote ---
No not to us (which i believe you understand), but to those that are still being deceived yes of course. Here are a few verses I've found that they will often use to prove that they "go to Heaven".
Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Luk 6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Php 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Php 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Thanks still!

There are two correct answers when it comes to the meaning of backing of Scriptures..
in one point of view..... "there is a backing of Scriptures". Everybody knows that when Scriptures itself mentions hell, then it is up to the advantage of any sects to emphasise or explain that there is a hell based on their interpretation. But the question is, is the interpretation correct? no matter whether it is correct or not the point is there is a backing! There is a backing because they will insist up to death that it is the true interpretation, like there is hell.
On another view......."There is no backing of Scriptures". Again, when the Scriptures itself mentions hell, then it is up to the advantage of any sects to emphasize or to explain that there is a hell based on their interpretation. But the question is, Is the interpretation correct? NO, no! it is not correct, it is absolutely not correct, the interpretation is wrong, that is why there is no backing of the Scriptures!
No matter your point is, whether there is no backing or there is backing of Scriptures, what matters is that we know the truth because the Spirit is in us. God gave us partial installment to discern!
