As stewards of the kingdom, as representatives, saints as it were, we might find ourselves in certain situations in this life that would require us making friends of the mammon? While we are doing His will, sometimes we may need to adjust into the things of this world. Sort of a check and balance? Being a faithful servant will require us to forgive, so that we might be forgiven. Knowing how to forgive gracefully ,, so that we too will still have a place in this world. Doing His will accordingly and still abide in His grace, in His love! I have written this too you all , for your input. In Christ FES
I have not found a single bible verse that clearly states where a Christian soul resides prior to the return of Christ to gather His church to Him in the air.
The phrase "They are smiling down on you from heaven" has no biblical verses as its proof.
Too much interpretation of the bible by some poor and simple-minded humans, when compared to the mind of God, make verses MEAN WHAT THEY WANT, NOT WHAT THE VERSE IS ACTUALLY SAYING. Examples:
1. Revelation 1:10 is said to refer to Sunday, and thus John was worshiping on Sunday and that made it OK for all Christians to observe Sunday in place of the Sabbath and ordained Sunday as the appointed day of worship for all Christians. Incorrect interpretation to fill a need for justifying Sunday worship.
Why do I say this? First, there is no verse to back up the day being Sunday; every day is "The Lord's Day". Second, neither God nor Christ designated ANY Day as the day of worship. Third, the Sabbath Day is a day of REST, not worship in a communal setting. Fourth, Revelation is a visionary experience, not a worship service.
2. Christians celebrate the resurrection of Christ always on a Sunday (thank the Roman Church for this by the way). This too is the result of humans doctoring the scriptures. The Gospels key the crucifixion to the Jewish Passover which moves across the Jewish calendar and not a set day each year.
3. The Easter sunrise worship service is not based on scripture. The Gospels clearly state Christ had risen before sunrise on what we call Sunday as the ladies never saw the resurrection, just the empty tomb and then later Christ.
Final point, if the Christian soul is immediately taken to heaven and returns with Christ for the church gathering, there will be no appearance of any Christian before the White Throne as they are previously admitted to eternity in heaven.
Is it not safer to think that Lazarus, the good friend of Jesus. Partook in using poppy extract
I would love some responses as I'm currently trying to learn more about christianity as I've recently felt more and more drawn toward god.

Is that correct?

It was a Fig tree. It was the closest to Adam and Eve. Genesis 3:7. And the eyes of them both were opened, thy sewed fig leaves together, and made them selves.
