Q. I notice that when you mention 1 Cor. 2:9 you never put it in the context of the following verse. I think it changes the meaning when you do. I’m probably wrong but just wondered. What do you think?

Q. Recently my sister went to be with the Lord after a long battle with Brain Cancer. My family are true believers of God and worship Him as our Personal Savior. After dinner one evening, my sister’s children asked if their mom was in heaven and my fiancé said that she was in a place called “Paradise.” He said that is where you go before you go to heaven. I’ve never heard of this. Can you please offer some answers that I can share with them?

Q. Re: Rev. 5:6, you wrote in a previous column, “Although John’s description is symbolic, many scholars believe John saw Jesus in physical form still bearing the scars of His crucifixion and that’s the way He looks today.” So, if our Lord still carries the scars of crucifixion, and we are supposed to become like Him, will we carry those scars also? Will his body become perfect at some point? I’ve never heard that mentioned, and can’t find anything to support it after years of Bible study.

Q. Re. Paradise or Heaven? After reading your answer regarding 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 I did some research. All the translations I have looked up show “paradise” as the English translation. Are Heaven and Paradise the same, or different?

Q. When Christ our Lord died and rose again through the power of the Holy Spirit, did He take all the dead in Him that were waiting in Paradise to Heaven or are they still waiting in paradise for the Day of the Lord (Rapture)? I ask this because in 2 Cor. 12:2-4 Paul spoke about a man going to Paradise. Who was the man and why did he go to Paradise if there’s no one there?

Q. In your article entitled “Saved From The Worst But Kept From The Best” you said, “I have no problem with there being a certain amount of inequality in the Kingdom.” I heard one Bible teacher say, “if you believe there are levels in Heaven, you have to consider that there are levels in Hell.” My question is, do you believe in this rationale?

Q. The Bible tells us that Jesus appeared to many people after his resurrection. Thomas touched his body and Jesus ate fish with his followers. Obviously, it was a physical body. In what state did the Lord Jesus ascend to Heaven to be seated at the right hand of God the Father, physical or spiritual, and in what state is he in now as far as his body is concerned?

Q. I have a question that I hope you can answer. When we go to Heaven how will we ALL get to see Jesus? Is there going to be some big “wait list” to get our turn? My question is sincere. There will be a lot of us in Heaven but only one Jesus. I really want to see Jesus and I am afraid there will be too many of us to actually get to see or be close to Him.

Q. I have been reading your web site faithfully for a couple of years or more. Thanks so much for your time. You are Blessed! My wife of 31 years passed away 6 weeks ago of a massive stroke. I have really been hit hard with grieving. At my mens bible study last week we were in Romans 8. I asked a question whether or not I would recognize my wife as being my wife on earth or not. The general consensus was probably not. It saddened me even more. I know there will be no sadness in heaven but I still have to continue living here just guessing weather or not I will recognize my wife or not, and all my other family members for that matter. Oh! I forgot to mention my wife was a saved Christian who loved Jesus!
