The very first chapter of the Bible (significant) says God made man to have dominion on the earth and to subdue it. THAT IS IT!

To restore us to where we fell from, God would not have us die and go to Heaven. We fell from having dominion over the earth.

Yes, if we die we will go to Heaven. However, NOT FOREVER, though. Shocked? Think about it. THERE IS A RESURRECTION COMING in which we will once again abide in our EARTH SUITS called BODIES which are not made for Heaven or the unseen realm. Only, we will never die physically again.

God made us to have dominion on earth. Satan fell from heaven, not man. So dying and going to heaven is not our utmost goal.

Thoughts?

Well said, Mike, and I agree!!
