    The Bible teaches that only 144,000 people go to heaven when they die. Most of them are already there.

    People inaccurately take the reference to the Kingdom of heaven as proof that we go to heaven. "Kingdom of Heaven" is a euphemism for the Kingdom of YHVH God. YHVH God is in heaven but in Rev 21:2-3 clearly says that the Tabernacle of YHVH God is with men & He will dwell with them. The place where men are is the earth & always has been.

    it doesn't .

    I thought that Yahshua was coming to us and setting up His kingdom on EARTH, based in Jerusalem.

    Aren't the meek inheriting the Earth? Not heaven.

    It does not.

    According to the bible - god sacrificed himself to himself as he couldnt just forgive man, then at the end of days he will again judge man and decide then what to do.

    UMM lets read that again... He couldnt forgive man so he sent his son to save man, but then at the end it was pointless as he will come himself and decide at the end of days ....

    as a 5yr old would say . O.K whatever lol.

    Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

    the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8) for by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourself: it is the gift of God.
