Earthly Paradise


Go Back


 

Earthly Paradise instead of Heaven.

Earthly Paradise contradicts the text of the Scripture which says, “Eyes has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” 1 Corinthians 2:9

It is also against many verses of the Scripture that promise heaven and a heavenly kingdom, such as the Parables of the Lord Christ in (Mt 13:25) where He says ” The Kingdom of Heaven is like a” and also as in the Lord’ Sermon on the Mount which begins with the words: “Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven…. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven.” “lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven”.

Moreover,

Eating and drinking in eternity contradicts the doctrine of rising in spiritual bodies (1 Corinthians 15:44,48). Moreover the claim that the little flock will rise in spiritual bodies whereas those who will dwell in the earthly paradise will rise in material bodies, contradicts the verse which says,”Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption” (1 Corinthians 15:50)

The belief that in heaven there will be families, marriage, and procreation, contradicts the words of the Lord Christ to the Sadducees about the resurrection: “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.” (Matthew 22:29,30)

Furthermore, the children who will be born in paradise, how can they enjoy paradise without undergoing a trial of their will ? For paradise is the reward for those who overcome ?
