I must admit that I missed a really good explanation of how people get to Heaven provided by GP13. While it contained no Biblical references, it did a good job of using human intellect to explain a devine principal. Might that be because there is no devine information available for the concept of people immediately getting to Heaven after death? Whatever the case it would be my position that basing devine understanding upon man's intellect would be dangerous at best and down right scarey at worst. Especially when you read things like...
 
1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness" ;

To, 'IBIJ', Your search for Biblical Truth will Always be hampered,
so long as you are hopelessly 'hogtied' in your own pre-conceived
Seventh-Day-Adventist interpretations..{Yes, Your Own sect "inter-
prets" Scripture, like everyone else!}..where virtually EVERY Scrip-
ture passage, that even "JEBUS" brought forth, as counterpoint-type
arguments, is dismissed {by you} as somehow not being sufficiently
direct in refutation; even though your own belief-interpretation, re-
quires At Least.. an equal degree of Bible-passage extrapolating/
'connecting-the-dots'!
 
..Oh yes, what we're all {supposedly} in quest of, is "Divine Truth";
as opposed to your own refererence to, "devine {sic} truth."
 
..Yes, I'm sure that the deceased actor.. Andy Devine, was a nice
person, even if he wasn't Divine! {a little made-up, 'memory-jog'}.

That is quite interesting as not one person has followed the study of the Bible and shown from the Bible that they are right. You have follow the catholic bilieves that have constently changed to the whims of the leader through out history claiming greater power then God to be able to change time and season and the likes.
 
Yet no one has proven their point by start to end of the Bible only taking out of the Bible what he wants turning out of context and then claming that it is truth.
 
Read 10 verses before and after what you are taking to make your point. Where is the writer at time of writing. Who is he talking to. What was happen?
 
I think the 5 w questions that many have learn in school to do proper research. They all really need to be answer. Where did this theory or that theory came from when did it start in history and what grounds does it have for me to believe it.
 
I do with Gods help remember many of these studies and where things came form what was the reason and the presable be hind it.
