@medullah saidWhat version are you quoting. Im wary of some recent translations. Several churches and groups have rewritten the KJV with slight modifications to suit their particular doctrine. The JWs have done it, the Sevan Day Adventists, and many others, The KJV :
Would you not say that this suggests that some go to heaven Raj?
Philippians 3 13-14
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 3:1
The ...[text shortened]... he heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14 KJV)
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; (Hebrews 3:1 KJV)
I get no impression that anyone is going to heaven from those passages. Immediately after in Heb 3 Paul speaks of Moses. Do you think Moses went to heaven? How about David and the other patriarchs ?
