I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Tent and Eternal

When Jesus said in John 14:3 "I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." I am thinking eternal sense rather than temporal. There is only a change of residence at the time of physical death. My tent (body) will turn to dust while my soul will change its location (heaven). Physical death brings a change of residence not an end of my existence but rather the end of my temporay body. Residence is dramatically changed. We have little or nothing in human experience on earth that qualifies greater spiritual experience in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:1 Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Hebrews 9:14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! 2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
