1 Do you know for certain, that you are going to Heaven, when you die? This is the leading, or rather lead-off and lead-in question that many individuals ask, when they are leading up to covertly getting another person to say yes, to accepting Jesus Christ as their Saviour, in order that they may go to Heaven when they die. 1) But, what about now, in the meantime ~ before then? 2) And, what if you are already dead? Question # 1 pertaining to what about before then is a very good question. Question # 2 what if already dead would leave a lot of people at a lost, for an answer. But, the biggest problem of all is not either of those two questions. The biggest problem of all, with this commonly asked leading question to save, or bring another person to Jesus is There are no Dead people in Heaven. Thus, anyone who is Dead is somewhere else. So, the question Do you know for certain, that you are going to Heaven, when you die? does not apply to Heaven. Death is not a qualifier for Heaven. Rather, it is a disqualifier. Because, if you are dead, you are not going there, no matter who you are, or when you die. The Dead don t go to Heaven. Page 1 of 6
2 BUT, HOW CAN THIS BE ~ AND WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE CONFUSION? How can this be? It s simple really. God, Thee Father, Thee Creator of The Heaven s and The Earth is thee Author of, and over, the living not the dead. What accounts for the confusion? There is a lot that most people don t know about Life or Death; but they assume they know all that there is to know about it; and all that they know is all true. But, that s not true. We actually know very little about Life and Death as a whole, which includes the whole of its States, which are related to Thee Estate of Being. Most people don t know thee truth of Life and Death. Most people don t know there are many states of Death. Most people don t know that God, Thee Father, Thee Creator did not, and does not, author Death; and that the dead are apart from Him, not with Him. The majority of people relate to Life and Death solely from the perspective or context of the flesh thus, the world s and the body s which is solely defined as the loss of the Body. According to the Mind, this is the only death there is; that s Death, and is all that constitutes Death. HOWEVER, that is not true. The loss that most people define as Death, is solely the loss of animation, and the animus. As a result of not knowing thee truth of Life and Death ~ according to God, Thee Father, according to Thee Universe, which is His ~ most people, maybe even the majority of believers in Him and Jesus Christ are unaware that merely to be with the body does not constitute Life. And, to be without it does not constitute Death -- except as it pertains to the body and the body s ~ which is from the perspective of The World s, and in alignment with The Mind s, but is not in alignment with God s, Heaven s or Thee Universe. Thereby, most people do not know that all of the dead are not buried. Some are walking around amongst us. As a matter of fact, in these times of the end-time there are a huge number of the dead present upon The Earth, awaiting final disposition, or resolution, of Judgment. Page 2 of 6
3 As For Heaven s Later ~ What about now, in the meantime ~? What about now is an excellent question. Because, it is our needs and desires right here, right now, at the moment, in the present that has most people concerned, pressured or miserable. No matter who we are, we have certain needs and desires that have to be met, right here, right now, while we are on The Earth. In addition, there are some desires that can only be met on The Earth. And, last but not least, when it comes to wrongful temptations, Sin and misdoing or however going astray from the good s and goodness of God s it is the matter of conduct and actions, and the choices we make right here and now that are involved. But also, most Believers who ask the question about a person s assurance of being Heaven bound, ask it solely in the context of relevance to the hereafter and only the hereafter. No interest or concern is focused upon right here, right now. Thus, how this inquiry is received and perceived by the individual on the receiving-end would depend very much upon the state and quality of their well-being and state of affairs, right here, right now. An individual who is living comfortably, and relatively enjoying life, who has had no tragedy or trauma to speak of ~ is more likely to more positively receive this question. Because, it will robably in the context of unfinished business to be taken care of, being that they are well provided for, and taken care of in every other aspect, then why not plan for, and have Heaven also? As in, why not have it all, and Heaven also? HOWEVER, an individual who is traumatized, homeless, grieving, suffering and miserable is not focused upon the next day, let alone Heaven. A homeless individual is caught-up in how they re going to cope with the overwhelming misery of their current situation and circumstances, of struggling to survive outdoors in the open, as if they were a four-legged creature. And, how are they going to come by their next meal, and come up with a place to take shelter for the night. In the moment, right then and there, unless they are hoping they die that day; then Heaven is much too far away, and too far off for any planning on it, or to pursue it. What incentive or motivation is there ~ To settle for being miserable until you depart your body, and leave the Earth? Who would want that for themselves? Page 3 of 6
4 What incentive or motivation is there, to be miserable, grieving and suffering all of your years upon The Earth, to not care about it, to not want it changed for the better and to merely hold on, wait and look towards the grave in order to get relief from it? Why not have all of, or at least the most of Heaven s good s and goodness now, right here, on The Earth? How about that question? How about asking a homeless individual, and every individual about that? Would you like to have Heaven s right here, right now? Called To Thee Full Estate of Thee Human Being In the meantime, to be unto Thee Father, God, to be Beings of Heaven s on The Earth, in Paradise, enjoying all of Thee Good s of Father s, God s, of Heaven s right here, right now. Thee Good s of Heaven s ~ What are thee Good s of Thee Father s, of God s, of Life s, and of Heaven s? They are all the same; they are one. Thee Estate of Being consists of all of Thee Good s of Him & His. Thee Good s of Thee Estate of Being ~ Are Life, Love, Happiness, Peace & Contentment. They are not of Death s, thus are not of Darkness, Lies & Deception, Sorrow or Grief. Thus, before getting to Heaven, we are supposed to be already unto Thee Authority of Heaven s. And, through our loyalty and obedience to thee Will, Word, Walk and Way of Thee Universe of Thee Father, God, we have Life and it s greatest Good s abundantly here on Earth, right here, right now and here after, thus without end. For, we do not cease to live. We merely cease to be challenged to try to live through the flesh, and having the struggles of its conflicts and lower nature. But, this sounds too good to be true doesn t it? And, it is not what most people have been told, or what most people believe about Heaven. Because thee truth of Heaven is not consistent with what most people believe to be Thee Truth about Thee Father, God. And, so most people seek less, fear more and Page 4 of 6
5 settle for a whole lot less than Heaven s, and Heaven s ongoing, without ending. Which is not to say, that an individual Soul may not go to Heaven if they have not received and experienced all of Heaven s while on The Earth. It simply means more so, that for whatever reason, there was some of Heaven s, maybe even a lot, that they didn t receive and experience while they were on The Earth. How do Thee Good s of Thee Father, God s, Life s, Heaven s differ from the goods of The World? Thee Good s of Life s, of Thee Father are all non-material; and the goods of The World s are all material. Then, how can a person be happy, peaceful and contented with no material goods whatsoever? As a matter of fact, how would they even survive? It isn t that an individual Being unto Life, Thee Father, God does not have any material goods of the World s, or that they do not have any need, or even desire for any of the world s goods. Thee difference of Being, and in Being unto Life, Thee Father, God, rather than first and foremost unto The World s material goods and the flesh is, these two authorities dictate vastly different priorities, the ordering of those priorities and the authorized actions and conduct for meeting, fulfilling and satisfying those priorities. To have Life, Love Happiness, and in abundance, to the extent of Peace & Contentment ~ necessitates, involves and requires a very different caliber, class and level of choices, decisions, preferences, actions, conduct and discipline, that the foremost priority of the pursuit of materially based and supported happiness does not. And, in actuality as well as practicality, the two are in direct conflict with each other so much, that an individual has to choose between the two. For, truly they cannot serve or fulfill both, not really, not wholly. How Does A Person Attain Heaven s on The Earth ~ Paradise? Heaven s on The Earth ~ Is attained through holding to Thee Way, which is of Life, Thee Truth and Thee Light. Page 5 of 6
6 How do I get on Thee Way, or get to it? Thee Way is a metaphorical reference. Thee Way is an unseen Course, which is more of a directive. The directive is related to, and regarding the individual s chosen State of Being and Well-being, and the corresponding choices for the foundation to support it, as well as sustain it ongoing, thus without ending. How do I stay upon Thee Way? An individual adheres to Thee Way, and thereby stays upon it, through adhering to Thee Universe of God s ~ Which consists of Thee Will, Thee Way, Thee Word, Thee Works & Thee Walk which are all His. However, Thee Way is unto Thee Authoring of Thee Father, Thee Son and Holy Spirit For More Information, Go back to the Home Page: click and go to ~ Thee Good s of All ~ Life, Love, Happiness, Peace & Contentment click and go to ~ THEE UNIVERSE click and go to ~ THEE WORKS, THEE WALK click and go to ~To Be Saved 2012 Kathleen B.
